Are There OppOrunkB in the Workers Party? i 1Ee~

should we not also call ourselves so
cialists?
The Ruling Party.
That is an excellent specimen of
the substitution of opportunism for
Leninism.
Do the comrades of Superior know
that there is a party in Soviet Rus
STA that rules that country and real
ICES the proletarian dictatorship? Do
they know that this party is called
the Russian Communist (not socialist
partyO Do they not know that the
Russian Communist Party got this
name in 1917 before the November
! revolution, that the principal motive
of the change of name from socialist
democratic to Communist was that
the old social-democratic parties had
decomposed from workers parties to
petty bourgeois parties? Do the com
rades know that among the Russian
counter-revolutionary parties - there
are two such parties (the Russian
social-democratic Workers Party,
menshevik, and the social-revolu-
tionary party which bear the name
socialist and are carrying on counter
revolutionary work against Socialist
Russia? Will the Superior comrades
understand that the Russian Commun-
list Party carries on genuine socialist
work in organizing socialist regime
in Russia (the first step of Commun-
ism) and all socialist parties of the
entire world only mask themselves
with the. word socialism to carry on
lnti-socialist work?
1t is further necessary to analyze
point in the article of Askeli which
is typical specimen of the substi-
tuition of menshevism for Leninism
care Firms social-democrats?"
"Our federation" writes Askeli,
was against the LaFollette and that
kind of a farmer-labor policy and of
the maneuvers of that sort We con
sidered them as futile short cuts
which in the final analysis are men
sheviki tactics pure and simple, more
simple than pure"
So, according to the opinion of
Comrade Askeli, the farmer-labor pol
icy is a menshevik policy. Note that
the question is not that of farmer
labor party, but of the farmer-labor
policy. The farmer-labor policy is
declared menshevik tactics. And if
you ask Oomrade Askeli what was
Lenins opinion of the farmer-labor
policy. he will answer you, of course,
that that is 'the clearest of Lenin.
ism" Comrade AskeH will not hear
of the fact that from 1904 on, Lenin
had .tirelessly advocated the neces-
sity of the union of the workers and
peasants in a proletarian revolution.
ComrAdd AAskeli will not hear of the
fact that principal difference between
menshevism and Bolshevism is that
the menshevists never understood the
role of the peasants in the revolution
and have always had a negative atti-
tude to the peasants. He will not
hear of the fact that less than a year
ago the whole discussion with Trotsky
conferred about this question, and that

Trotsky had conserved his menshevist
viewpoint on the peasants. Comrade
Askeli does not see the fact of this
union in the Soviet Republics. He
looks upon the principal basis of Len
inism as menshevism and vice versa
the principal thesis Of menshevism,
he calls Leninism. How much farther
can one go in the perversion of Len
inism, in its substitution by opportun-
ism?
Workers and Peasants.
There can be difference Of opin-
ion as to the form in which this union
between workers and peasants is to
be realized (the farmer-labor party. a
union of labor party with the organ
ization of the small farmers, united
farmer-labor councils, etc. This ques-
ton will be discussed at various
times and variously decided in the diff
ferent countries. But the foundation
of feminist strategy in the proletari-
an revolution always. remains unalter-
ably the union of workers and peas
ants.
We have already seen that all the
groups mentioned as opportunistic in
the beginning of the article land the
list is far from completely declare
their full readiness to carry on
struggle against Loreism. In particu-
lar the comrades of Superior declare:
We must decisively and unmerci-
fully condemn opportunism and Lore
ism and shall fight against them piti-
lessly and tirelessly.V
Z This declaration is the best illustra.
ton of Lenin's statement that in poli-
lies one must believe not words b,t
deeds and that he who in politics be-
iieves in words is thoro-going idiot.
The comrades of Superior carry on
a "tireless and pitiless fight against
Loreism" by propagating in the party
Loreite ideas under the flag Of I,enin.
ism. Askeli does the same. Poynts
and Jampolsky are also against Lore
ism in words but express Loreism in
their daily practice. They all promise
TO carry on a fight against Loreism
but in fact they carry on a bitter ight
against the G. e. G. and its component
parts. And they carry on this fight
with Loreite opportunistic weapons
Whatever their words are. the fact
is that they are carrying on the fight
against the c. E. c. and no fight
against Loreites. There is being or
ganized here a united opportunistic
'front.' against the sections of the party
which are realizing. the politics of the
Z. |. Precisely from this side comes
the greatest danger to the party and
precisely against this great danger
must be united all the Bolshevist
forces of the party which till now
nave been divided into factions. with.
out decisive destruction of Loreism
the party cannot become Bolshevix
party. And if the factions cannot
unite their strength against Loreism
and destroy it there is danger Of the
party being conquered by Loreism.

Opera-An Industry.

THE Chicago Civic Opera Company,
which is coming to Washington
next month to present four operas at
the Washington Auditorium, is visual
lied by the general public as an
aggregation Of world famous artists
supported by a great orchestra and

Few people seem to realize that
the affairs of the Chicago Civic Opera
are those of a vast industry, with
properties valued at several millions
of dollars, and given over to the
building of everything, from an ink
stand to Egyptian temple columns
When the company is on tour those en-
ployeS that are not necessary to set
ting the opera in other cities pro-
ceed with their work of building new
operas for another season, renovating
and keeping in repair all the proper
ties that are stored in 10000 square
feet of floor space in the company S
great warehouse in Chicago. Proper
ties of the Chicago Civic Opera Com
pany are capitalized at $4,000, 900.

New York Symphony,
Tomorrow.

The New York Symphony Orchestra
offers a particularly interesting pro-

Central High School under the aus
pices of the Washington Society of
the Fine Arts tomorrow evening at
$50 o'clock. 1t comprises overture
to Geothe's "Egmont' (Beethoven)

cerpt from ballet and Turkish march

The New York Symphony Orchestra
Is so successful in its concerts in New
York City that it is gradually lessen
Ing the number of concerts in other
cities. Washington is among the few
places which this orchestra still
visits. Mr.. Damrosch's brief eXplana-
tory talks are a feature of these eve
ming concerts, and, as all who have
attended in the past know, they are
peculiarly instructive and charming
They are, in short, what talk about
music should be-not merely talk
but a means to fuller and greater en-
joyment.
Walter Damrosch has done a service
for music in America greater perhaps
than any one else living today, and
it has been done through d sincere
desire to share most widely with
others that which is full of beauty
and enjoyment to himself. He is one
of the leaders in the musical world
today who is ever ready to welcome
that which looks toward progress and
