March % Meet Will
Outline Program

NEW YORK, March 3.-The New
York branch of the Federated Farm
er-Labor Party will hold its second
convention Sunday, March %, at the
Central Opera House, 9th st. and
Third avenue. The New York branch
of the F. FL. P. has sent out letters
to all the local unions of the city
asking them to send delegates to
the convention.
The convention will lay plans for
carrying the work of the f. FL. P.
on during the coming presidential
campaign. The st. Paul convention
will be one Of the most important
matters to come before the conven-
ton. Already many unions have sig
nified their intention of sending dele
gates.
The first convention Of the New
York branch of the F. FL. P. was
held last September with more than
zoo delegates representing more than
$4,000 workers present.
In the call for the New York con-
vention the f. FL. P. announces
that it is planning to take a big part
in New York City during the coming
campaign.

ted himself comparison between
the heads Of our Party and the de-
generation of Bernstein and other
scolars of Marx" Radek is nine
tenths on the same road as Sapro-
nov, but not quite.
Caution Needed.
At least that is my impression;
yet he finds it necessary to express
his regret that Trotsky has drawn
this unnecessary comparison.
In this case | share Radek's regret
and am sorry that Trotsky has for
mulated his views in such a manner
as to allow his words to be seized
upon by Sapronov as weapon
against the Central. 1t proves that
greater caution should be exercised
when formulating opinions. Here /
have a note written by a workman:
"Trotsky demands that the appara-
tus men be removed, how are we to
know what to do" It is obvious
that the writer of this note has been
induced to put this complicated ques-
ton by Trotsky's formulation of his
views. ! do not speak Of Trotsky's
article, but Of the manner in which
his mode of expression is utilized.
Trotsky's article requires to be
complemented and explained, or
doubts may be aroused in the minds
Of the masses as to whether Comrade
Trotsky demands that the apparatus
men be removed.
Salvation lies in the strict adher-
ence and execution of the resolution
of the 10th Congress. If our Party
carries out the impending change
under the slogan of: away with
these!" there is a danger that what
is in reality sound necessity may
60 too far, that it may overstep the
line and destroy the essence of the
apparatus.
If you will make up your minds
that the Moscow organization ac-
cepts the resolution worked out by
the Central, and undertakes to carry
it out under the leadership Of the
Central, declining at the same time
to take part in any attempt ah form
ing factions, or in the Indictment of
any section of the Central against
another, then we shall be able to
perform the necessary evolution with
ease.
But if we let the reins go at this
turning, then within a month we
shall have factions and sections be-
ing played off against one another.
Above all, the Party must be pre-
served by the Central from internal
schism. 1t has hitherto been custom
airy to praise the Moscow organiza-
ton.
We read in the newspapers, and we
hear from Comrade Preobrashensky,
that the Moscow organization is a
living organization, altho it shows
certain signs Of bureaucracy. / fear
that these comrades praise the Mos
COW organization because its first
steps raised their hopes, and that
they will cease to praise the Mos
cow organization when it lends de-
termined support to the Central, and
rejects this group.

Abolish HIiteracy
by 1927, Is Program
of Russ Educators

MOSCOW, March S.-Intensifed
war on illiteracy has been ordered
by the All Russian Congress Of Sow
lets which approved Commisar of
Education Lunacharsky's program
for the complete elimination of il
literacy by 1927, that is in three
years.
There are still 100000 litter
ates in Russia, Lunacharsky's report
shows. This represents an immense
reduction from tsarist times, showing
that illiteracy is now reduced to less
than 13 per cent from the rs per
GENT figure of the old regime.
Premier Rykov is giving earnest
support to the educational program,
declaring that it is the most impor-
tant issue before the people.

PrOgressiUes Win
All Offices in ". Y.
/. L. G.. ". Local

NEW YORK, March "a signal
victory was won by the progressives
in Cloak Finishers' Local No. 9 Of the
International Ladies' Garment Work
ers of New York when Louis Hyman
was reelected manager of the local
and all twenty-five candidates put up
by the progressives were elected to
the executive board at the elections
held at the end Of last week.
The business agent Of the machine
who has held his job for ten years
ran against the progressive candi-
date Lyman, but was defeated, as
were all the other 25 job holders who
ran against the progressive candi-
dates for the executive board. The
vote for manager Of the local was:
953 for Hyman and 672 for the can
didate Of the machine.
The reactionaries did lot Of cleo
tioneering for their candidates; they
issued leaflets, they circulated all
kinds Of ugly rumors about Lyman
and the progressives in general, they
canvassed the shops for their can
didates, they procured the help Of
that warm friend of all reactionaries,
the yellow Forward" but all this
was to no avail. The cloak finishers
would not let themselves be bluffed.

When you can prove to US that
tire formation of groups is no longer
dangerous, that the influence Of the
New Economic Policy is not danger
Gus, that we have conquered an in
ternational position ensuring us
power and strength; when you can
tell us that our democracy occupies
different position, and that the
position of our apparatus has be-
come so secure that groupings with.
in the Party can exercise no inhu-
ence upon it, then we shall reply:
"The time has now come for liberty
for discussion" But until it can be
proved that this point has been ar
rived at, we prefer to say: discuss
and consult, go from one nucleus to
another, but do not form factions,
which will lead to the disruption Of
the unity of the Party and Of the
Soviet power"
No Sign of Split.
In conclusion, / should like to
touch upon Comrade Radek's address.
He spoke of a split, and delivered a
passionate speech against this split.
| cannot tell where he has found
this talk Of split. If he had only
desired to repeat the words Of Com
rade Lenin: "Be on your guard
against schism, fear it, and take
measures to prevent it," then he need
only have taken Lenin's article and
read it aloud.
Why did Radek speak as he did?
If facts actually exist which prove
schism, then it was his duty to bring
them forward, for such speech as
his can only sew doubt and alarm.
We cannot preserve calm when
responsible member of the Central
comes and speaks of a split.
There is no split in the Party, and
no sign Of it, and there will not be
any sign of it. Radek spoke of
"both Sides" What both sides? The
two sides in disagreement-but he
forgot that we are not a side. We
are not in such a position that the
Central Committee forms one side
and some fractional group another.
The Party has Central which does
not feel itself to be a side; this
Central leads and carries out the poll
icy, and accords all attention to criti-
cism of its action. Were we not in
possession of such a courageous or
gan, capable Of undertaking respon-
sibility in such decisive moments as
that of the German revolution, we
should possess no Party.
Two sides do not exist; there is
only one whole-the Central, which
estimates the criticism Of its actions
in accordance with essentials, and is
willing to learn much from correct
criticism
This does MT mean that we are
bound to reject everything coming
from any other source than our own
camp, but it means that we have to
subject everything we hear 10 a criti-
cal consideration, for on every occa-
sion Of historical turning points,
these comrades have made US sug-
gestions which would Rave driven
our Party vehicle over the precipice.
Radek observed: II regret that
Trotsky, in this article, has permit

The Concluding Speech by Kamenev Before Moscow Communists

question clearly, we shall demand the
convocation of the extraordinary
Party conference.
And now with regard to the Party
apparatus. This question must be
viewed from the political aspect.
Comrade Sapronov has asserted
that the Party apparatus has be-
come converted into a fractional APP
paratus. A narrow fractional spirit
has been spoken Of. This is what
you have asserted, and not that the
apparatus is decayed, and can be
compared to certain extent with
the apparatus Of German social
democracy. This is utter nonsense,
and it is difficult to see what is
meant by it.
In Germany the apparatus is pre-
venting the development of the revo-
luton. But what conclusion is there
for us to draw from this? Decid-
edly none whatever.
1t IS simply obvious that German
social democracy possesses an APP
paratus worthy of it.
But for us the question is whether
we have an apparatus which eff
GENTLY serves our Party. In our
opinion, our apparatus needs fresh
ening up; it has made mistakes. The
reasons for the attack on the appa-
ratus must be examined into. Is
it because it is bad? Is it not flex-
ible enough? Does it gag the mouths
of the workers?
Then drag into the light of day,
by the hair of their heads, all those
who do not permit the workers to
speak, who forbid discussion, and
substitute the muzzle for leadership.
But you have gone even further; you
have asserted that the Party appara-
tus has become converted into fac
tional apparatus, and this means that
nine-tenths Of the policy pursued by
the Central does not please you.
Apparatus Must Be Renewed.
But the policy of the Central will
not please you any better when Il
consists of Sapronov and Preobra-
shensky, and the Central apparatus
puts into practice some resolutions
not agreeable to you for some
reason.
What is to be said about the fac
tional spirit? Have we not exter-
minated the Menshevist party y?
Have we not annihilated the ''work"
of social democracy in Germany?
But we know the political back
ground justifying our actions.
We succeeded in our efforts to de-
stroy an apparatus hostile to us,
and belonging to a faction pursuing
a shameful policy. And when you
speak here Of a fractional apparatus,
you are saying indirectly that the
policy Of this apparatus is disagree
able to you because il is not in your
hands, and because it is pursuing
policy which you attack.
/ repeat that the apparatus must
be renewed, and to do this lies in
our hands. We can hold fresh cleo
tions.
Dare we dream for a moment of
loocening the bands which bind us
together, not only as a Party, but as
a military formation?
