Trotzky's Letter to Russian Communists

in itself. It is not for nothing that
we point out the dangers of the
New Economic Policy, which are
closely connected with the present
moderate tempo of the international
revolution.
OppOrtunist Degeneration.
Our daily practical work in the
administration Of the state, which
becomes continually more detailed
and specialized, involves, as EN-
phasized in the resolution Of the
Political Bureau, the danger Of a
narrowing of the horizon, i. e., OF
opportunist degeneration. IL Is evil
dent that these dangers become the
more serious, the more Of a monop.
oily of authority in the hands Of
secretaries tends to substitute the
Party leadership.
We should be bad revolutionaries
If we were to rely upon the "revo-
lutionary character Of the epoch"
to help us in overcoming all difficult
ties, in particular, all the inner diff
culties. It is the "epoch" which
must be helped in proper manner,
by a rational carrying out Of the
new Party policy proclaimed unani-
mously by the Political Bureau Of
the Communist Central.
A further remark in conclusion.
Two or three months ago. when the
questions forming the object Of the
present discussion, were only Begin
ming to engage the attention Of the
Party, come responsible comrades Of
the provinces were inclined to treat
the matter in an off-hand manner;
it was, they declared, merely a brain
wave on the part Of Moscow, in the
provinces however. everything was
at its best.
And now also we observe this at
titude of mind in one or the other
reports from the provinces; infected
or excited Moscow IS opposed to the
quiet and reasonable province"
This means nothing else than a vio-
lent expression Of the same bureau
eratism, tho in a provincial edition
AS a matter Of fact, the Moscow
organization Of our Party is the
largest, most vital and the best
equipped with forces
Moscow For Revision.
Even in the moments of the great
est stagnation. the activity and the
initiative Of the Moscow organiza-
ton we're, in spite Of everything.
more intensive than anywhere else.
If Moscow at present differs from
other localities over something. it
is only due to the fact that it has
taken the initiative for the revision
Of the policy of our Party. This is
not a defect, but merit. The whole
Party win follow Moscow in passing
thru the necessary period of the
characterization of certain values Of
the past period.
The less the provincial PARTY an
paratus opposes itself to this. the
more systematically the provincial
organizations will win thru the un-
avoidable period of criticism and
self-criticism. The Party win garner
the result in the form Of an increas-
ed firmness and raising Of the
level Of the Party culture.-LEON
TROTZKY.

The higher cost of wheat in the
United States is due primarily to
the greater exhaustion Of the soil
which results in a smaller yield Of
wheat in the United States ranges
from SO 10 1875 bushels while in
Canada the yield Is from 10.5 TO
20.s bushels per acre. As a result
It cost American farmers from IS
cents to S2.19 to produce a bushel
Of wheat in 1928 while Canadian
farmers were producing wheat for
from So cents to S131 q hushel.
The e.corbitant advertising and
selling expense in the United States
Is justified in the brief presented by
the Miller5' National Federation on
the basis Of "the constant need of
advertising well~known brands of
-four in order to create and hold
consumer demand" Fortunately or
unfortunately" they say, "advertis-
ing is an AmericanisTn and seemed to
be ineseapable in this country for
many lines Of well known goods"
Advertising a Waste.
It Is hardly necessary to spend
S43,000,000 a year to persuade the
people Of the United States t. pur-
chase necessary quantities Of the
"staf OF lie" And as wheat -four
has become pretty much a standard
product produced by a standard
process, the choice of one trade
mark has little bearing upon the
nourishraent Of the nation. The in
vestigstion Of the tariff con rlission
has thus uncovered one evidence of
the extent to which the United
States has entered the vicious circle
Of commcrcialism in which tsc cost
Of food Uses without bsacftting
producers IN the slightest.

Despite objections made by George
town business men the railroad com
pany has carried out its plan of trans
ferring all the workmen in the
Georgetown shops to Clayton and
other points. The men have all been
transferred and the company is now
ready for the order to raze the build
ings, The action has taken from the
town more than thirty families and
leaves one hundred miles of railroad
without a spot where engine repairs
can be made. L. L. Layton, a George
town business man, who was sent as
a representative from the town to
confer with the railroad officials, re-
turned with but little encouragement
that the shops will ever be brought
back to Georgetown. All train activ-
tiles are now transferred from
Georgetown, even the engineers, con-
ductors, firemen and brakemen being
compelled to start their runs either
from Harrington or Franklin City,Va.
Although some of the older railroad
employees still retain their homes there
the younger men are preparing to
move away. The business men of the
town are now contemplating action
before the Federal Railroad Commits
sion to see if some action cannot be
taken to compel the railroad to main
tain a shop there for the safety of its
passengers.
