CONSTANTINOPLE, March 14.- That Leon Trotsky is neither dying nor any longer a prisoner was prov- ed today in an interview which he granted to the correspondent oi the Associated Press in his room at the ‘rowatlian Hotel overlooking the Grande Rue Peru.

It was the first direct conversation that he has had with a, foreign cor- respondent since he became shroud- ed in mystery after his arrival at Constantinople from Russian 'I‘urkes- tan.

The famous beard and moustache are shaved oii, but otherwise the ior- mer war lord looks as powerful as ever. "

"I am not a. dying man," he said his voice shaking the small room. "but it is true that I have need oi l German physician's care; for it was German physicians who operated 011 me formerly in Russia.

"I expect to remain hero until my request to enter Germany is arrans- ed. I will not go to Angora and ii I am not admitted to Germany I pre- sumo that I shall stay here perman- cntly."

"It is false that l have requested French or Slovakian visas. The solo government that I have approached is Germany which has not Y" liven a. decision. I atiflbute the delay in Germany's political situation."
