OTEC TROTTHY AS koS FOR PEACE Dr. Nansen Says Soviets Also Want World Recognition J London, March 23, (By Associated Press).~In the first of a serles of articles in the Westminster Gazette Dr. Fridjof Nansen records the im- pressions he received in conversations with Russian leaders at Moscow dur- ing February, He says that the question of most concern to the officials was Russia's reconstruction and the restoration of normal economic relations with other countries, The writer quotes Trotzky as reiterating Russia's desire for peace and as pointing out that she offered to cut her army to 200,000 men if other countries would make a similar reduction, but that the pro- sposal was not accepted. Notwithetanding the possiblity of an invasion of Russia by Poland and Rumania, the Russian army, Trotzky sald, has blen reduced to 600,000 men which s less than half of the stand- ing peace time army during the czar- ist regime, Dr, Nansen quotes Trotzky as as- serting that Rusela’s aim is disarm, ment and the establishment of a mil- itla similar to that of Switzerland, ‘‘Complete disarmament,” the soviet officlal sald *cannot be contemplated until Europe is united in a federation of states which offers the sole means of withstanding America's economy hegemony, If a general demobiliza- tion can be effected, Russia will pro- pose an international disarmament commission."
