existence of the Hungarian Radical
government, thus fooling them, until
the Russian Bolshevik government
will be in the position to engineer a
revolt in Roumania.

urged by Trotsky to delay the pend
ing negotiations as much as possible
to give his Russian sympathizers a
chance to gain time in which armed

some other source hostile to the Hun
garian radical movement.
