Under the provisions of the bill no license would be granted to a real es- tate broker unless he has a reputation for honesty, truthfulness and fair deal- ings, and none to a salesman unless his prospective employer certified to his honesty, truthfulness and good reputa- | tion. “The revocation of a broker's license shall automatically suspend every real estate salesman’s license granted to any person by virtue of his employment by the broker whose license has been r voked pending a change of employe: the bil! says, in addition to providing that when any salesman is discharged his license shall become null and void.

BERLIN, March 16.—The German press last night quoted Leon Trotsky as saying that Bolshevism saved Russia from becoming a colony of the United | States. In his interview with the Ger- | man correspondent he emphasized that i he still belleves that Bolshevism was the salvation of Russia, and said: “Bolshevism is Russia's self preser- ation. After the last war a capital- | istic Russia would have become a col- ony of America.” He expressed the opinion that there | was more material for world conflict | than ever before and that “the ascend- { ency of America will cause an eruption compared with which the World War was mere child's play.” Trotsky reiterated that all he sought i!n German; health, and that if AS RUSSIA’S SAVIOR| Trotsky Says His Country Once | Mrs. Munsey Slack Nominated for | Chattanoog permitted to take the cure here he! would attempt to settle permanently in Norway or Holland.
