AFTER TROTSKY...
Tchitcherin in disgrace
He is said to be threatened with a cure in the Caucasus

London, February 21 (from our corr., by telephone). The Daily Telegraph is informed from Copenhagen that information received in that city from Moscow states that a serious conflict has arisen between Zinovieff, leader of the Red International, and Tchitcherin, Commissar for Foreign Affairs, as a result of the latter's promise to the French Ambassador, M. Herbette, that Communist propaganda would be stopped in France and the French colonies in exchange for normal relations between France and Russia.
Zinovieff has disowned Tchitcherin and forbidden him to make promises of this kind, saying that if a similar concession was tolerated in regard to Japan, it was only because it followed the signing of a treaty. Zinovieff, on this subject, even threatened Chicherin "to make him undergo a cure in the Caucasus", to which the Commissioner for Foreign Affairs is said to have replied that he did not care because he was tired of the intrigues of the Politburo.
