INVITES CRITICISM
Says Praise Is Not Bettering Hla
Red Army
MOSCOW. Jan. 1.—Leon Trotsky,
who, according to his own physician.
Is suffering from a slight, chronic In
ternal catarrh and not the deadly
cancer, well advertised abroad, has
opened a campaign to obtain "sound
er criticism" of the red army.
Trotsky complains tnat there has
been a tendency tp paint the army In
glowing colors, and urges that
criticism would be of greater benefit.
He points out that most of the Rus
sian articles written about Soviet
military life refer to the "victorious
army,” without admitting that the
army has ever been defeated and
without pointing out the difficulties
of many victories.
The leader maintains that • frank
criticism would have a better effect
on the military machine than sugar
coated praise.
