...Government by reducing to political vassalage or inconsequence no less than six of Lenin's most potent disciples: Trotsky, Zinoviev, Radek, Sokolnikov, Lashe-vich and Kamenev. The "new triumvirate" are: 1) Joseph Dzhugashvili "Stalin"- political "boss" par excellence, nominally only Secretary General of the Communist Party; 2) Alexei Ivanovitch Rykov, President of the Council of People's Commissars (i. e. "Premier"). 3) B. B. Quibe-schev, successor to the late Felix E. Dzerzhinsky (TIME, Aug. 2) as chairman of the Supreme Economic Council.

There were long secret discussions between Rykov, Kamenev and Stalin (the last two, with Zinoviev, formed the so-called triumvirate, a body bitterly opposed to Trotzky). Suddenly Trotzky came back. Zinoviev departed. The Council of Commissars is to be reshuffled. Rumors say that Trotzky is to supplant Krassin as Commissar of Foreign Trade, Kamenev is to supplant Zinoviev as Chairman of the Internationale, "other employment" is to be found for Zinoviev...
