Trotzky, Author

A chapter of Trotzky's new book, Questions of Everyday Life, appeared recently in the columns of Pravda, Moscow Communist journal.

The Soviet War Minister, although advocating a cultural campaign, does not lose sight of a fighting campaign. He writes:

"History shows that nothing was ever gained cheaply and Russians must pay heavily for a cultural victory. We need culture now, in our work, life and everyday existence. There is only one serious point to divert our attention from this achievement. It is the necessity of defending our country, and consequently we must develop an army. Even now nine-tenths of our army is devoting itself to the work of raising its cultural standard."
