The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-01-10

| Inc central cOmm1JJee OF the ALI
Russian Soviet Congress placed in the
foreground a definite plan of agree
ment (the resolution of Nov. 81, which
fully agree with, as it demands the
immediate recognition Of the DEGREES
regarding the land. peace, workers
control, and the recognition of the
Soviet power.
"In reply to the resolution of the
central executive committee, the men
sheviki submitted a number of pre-
conditions. The central executive
committee, as it did not wish to place
any difficulties in the way, adopted
resolution proposed by us which re-
moved the hindrances in the way of
these negotiations.
'In spite of this the other side would
not make any concessions to the CEN
trail executive committee. The condi-
tons submitted by the latter were
rejected by the mensheviki and the
Observation-Disclosures. The attempt to
arrive at an agreement was consist
emily carried out in spite of all OBJ
stacles; it led, however, to no result.
1t is now evident that the mensheViki
and the soeiaI-reVolutionists did not
want an understanding and only
sought for a pretext to wreck it.
Nov all the workers and soldiers
will know who bears the RESPONSE
bility for the wrecking of the agree
ment. Now-I am convinced-also
the left social-revolutionists will throw
the blame for the wrecking of the un-
derstanding upon the mensheviki and
for refusing to enter into our govern
ment.
'In the present state of affairs
adhere to the proposition of the COM
rades and withdraw my declaration
regarding resignation from the central
committee.
II appeal to my immediate COM
rades. Comrades, we made a great
sacrifice when we openly raised a
protest against the majority of our
central committee and demanded the
agreement. This agreement, however,
was rejected by the other side. We
are living in a serious, responsible
time. 1t is our duty to warn the party
of errors. But we remain with the
party, we prefer to commit errors
along with the millions of workers and
soldiers and to die with them than to
stand aside from them at this decisive
historical moment.
There will and shall be no split in
our party"
Since Nov. participated as pre-.
viously in the work Of our central
; committee. On Nov. spoke in its
name at the All-Russian Peasants
Congress, and on the 10th of Novem-
Der at the session of the Petrograd
Soviet. Here l said that we would
recognize the Constituent assembly,
"if the constituent assembly would
give expression to the actual will of
the workers, soldiers and peasants"
. Naturally, now after seven years, II
seems monstrous to every member OF
our party how one could deceive him.
