Central Committee by alleging that
the testament" (meaning the letters
above-mentioned) have been Con
cealed"
Finally, the part of Eastman's book
which deals with Trotsky himself
seems to me extremely insulting to
Trotsky. 1t is needless for me to
anraveI the network of lies Eastman
has woven around the question of our
PARTY differences with Trotsky. Others
nave done that. Suffice to say that
he whole question took an acute
form solely because the whole party

leath. for theological unity. Person
ally was not in agreement with
Trotsky and spoke accordingly on
several occasions. l also criticised his

was turnout in agreement with
the views of the Central Committee.
Eastman perverts the truth on this
point as he does all thru his book.
N. Krupskays.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-10-03

Lenin's dearest wish was realized.
The Russian Communist Party be-
came, not only in its theology, but in
it's composition, overwhelmingly pro
letarian.
Eastman knows nothing of this. In
his eyes the workers are merely
pawns, understanding nothing; wait
ing to be led by any leader. To him
the "intelligentsia" is the salt of the
earth.
We Bolsheviks understand the
workers quite otherwise-to us the
more workers in the party the better
And these workers know that the
Central Committee consists of COM
rades who during years worked with
Lenin, deliberated with him every
step, and with him built up the party.
In gaol and in exile his work was
theirs and theirs his. The working
masses know their leaders better
than any passing writer forming con-
illusions from the outside.
These old Bolsheviks have since
Lenin's death felt double weight Of
responsibility weight they could
not have borne without the confidence
and support of the masses. Lenin's
death united them and the masses
stiIl more closely by the obvious need
to carry his work to successful con-
clusion.
II was In this frame OF mind that
wrote to Trotsxy the personal letter
which Eastman has misrepresented.
Lenin considered Trotsky a talented
worker faithful to the interests of
the revolution and to the working
class. That was his view to the end
and such an appreciation calls for
responsibility. That is what l was
thinking Of when wrote to Trotsky.
Trotsky, of course, could not draw
from this letter the conclusion that
Lenin considered him his successor;
or regarded him as understanding his
views better than anybody else.
l could not possibly write anything
of the sort-or that Lenin was always
at one with Trotsky. Everybody in
the Russian Party knows otherwise.
Eastman invents various fictions
about Lenins letters to the party
congresses calling them tesla
ments" Eastman fails absolutely to

They Admit Russia's Strength.

To the DAILY WORKER: The
capitalist reports are trying to scare
the American wheat farmers against
BolsheVism- The Russian Soviet
government is beginning to export
wheat which the American capitalist
government interprets as a wilful
means of causing a new discomfort
among the wheat farmers because Of
lower competitive price.
Since the beginning Of the world
war, Russia did not export any wheat.
This caused reduction Of nearly 200
million bushels on the world market.
During the war period and after,
United States, Canada, Argentine and
Australia increased their wheat ex-
port to 337 million bushels.
Now that the Russian Soviet gov
eminent has reestablished itself to
nearly a prewar basis and is beginning
to supply the world market again with
wheat. the American government Is
fearing for its own interest OF losing
some Of its own wheat markets.

The Facts About Lenin's Testament"
Set Out by His Widow.

UOU have, l see, found it neees-
L sary to give some attention to
Max Eastman's book, Since Lenln
Died." As Mr.. Eastman in his book
attempts to depict me as violent OPP
ponent of the Central Committee OF
the Russian Communist Party vainly
endeavoring to protest against its ac-
tions, / shall be obliged if you allow
me to explain the situation to English
readers of this book.
Eastman throws no light on the
work of the Russian Communist
Party. History has imposed upon this
party a most responsible and diff
cult task. They have to build Com
munism in an economically backward
country during a period when CAPT.
talism in countries more advanced
economically is temporarily stabilized.
Eastman's book shows nothing Of
this. 1t is a collection Of petty Cos
sip. There is nothing Of what is ac-
tually happening; nothing Of our vast
economic achievements. or Of the cul
turaI awakening of the masses; moth
ing of the tremendous work of laying
a secure foundation for the slogans OF
the November revolution
The author is only concerned to
gather up and smack his lips over
every scrap Of gossip and color It
with his petty-bourgeois anarchist
leanings.
The most monstrous thing in East
mans book is his treatment of the
"Lenin Enrolment" When Lenin
died hundreds of thousands of work
ers flocked into the Communist Party
to help carry Lenin's work on to a
triumphant end. The whole working
class rallied round the party and its
Central Committee. The new appli-
cants for membership were examined
at open meetings in the factories and
workshops, and enthusiastic non-party
workers decided whether applicants
known to them we're ut for the honor
OF membership. Never has there been
such an expression Of confidence In
any party as was given by the Rus
sian workers In selecting their best
to go forward as units in the 'Lenin
Enrolment"

The song-writing game is

says Mr.. Snyder.
"The standards Of melody IRE

to write a song today that will,

have these three fundamentals:
"It must, first, be a good
