joy at their new plan.
Just then a man came out of the

almost everything to US. But in the
epoch when we are confronted by. the
task OF conquering political power, the
question of allies is one of the main
questions of the entire policy.
In the epoch Of conquest of political
power. there is nothing more damn
able than this narrow psychology. No
matter how we embellish it, objective
ly it is opportunism.
COMRADES, in what does Trotsky-
~ ism consist? Among other things
it consists of: More proletarian,"
more Industrial" mot too much turn
ing ones face to the villages" And
this implies the risk of breaking up
the workers and peasants bloc, con
sequently, the risk of destroying pro-
letarian dictatorship.
1t is Just the viewpoint: why
should bother about these villagers?"
which is the essence of Trotskyist OPP
portunism, even if it flies proletarian
colors.
In my draft theses all the great
questions of the agrarian and peas
ant policy are considered from three
main viewpoints.
1. Long before the conquest Of pol
itical power.
2. Immediately before the conquest
of political power.
8. After the conquest Of political

power.
rTHE failure to understand these
l. changes was the main error of
the preceding period. We have always
asserted against the views of the re-
formists-and our assertion was right
then and is now right-that industry
and agriculture on a large scale is
economically more rational. We would
be reactionaries if we hindered its de-
velopment. But if for instance, be-
fore the conquest and Immediately
after the conquest of power we point
blank refuse to break up big agricul-
tural concerns to divide part of them
among the peasantry for the only
reason that they are economically
more profitable. We lose the entire
revolution.
In this connection. I will mention
the most striking Of this, namely the
examples Of the Hungarian revolution.
| maintain that we have not made the
fullest possible use OF this example
given US by the Hungarian comrades.
It would be very useful for all Com
munist Parties to read the books. doc
uments and declarations referring to
it and to try to understand what hap
pened there. One is justified IN say
ing that the main cause of the defeat
OF the Hungarian revolution was the
agrarian question, the utterly inadmis-
sable policy of our Hungarian COM
rades in this question.
THE position In Hungary was such

Of land. To set free large territories
was absolutely necessary under such
circumstances. Instead of winning

spoke here of the methods of the
united front tactics Of the bourgeoisie
towards the peasantry. If we do not
shut our eyes to this danger, we must
realize that new orientation is need
ed in the Communist Parties. The
main error of Trotskyism consists in
the under-estimation Of the peasant
question. When many comrades who
raise hue and cry against Trotsky-
ism still hold to their wrong stand
point in this question, say that this
is an impossible attitude.
IEJE of the Russian Communist Party
w have tried to find the right stand
point and we have found it. That is
one Of our main reasons for fighting
against Trotskyism, and that is why
the other parties must do the same
if they say that they want to oppose
Trotskyism. Their foremost task is
then to adopt the right attitude
towards the peasant question, and
what is more, not to swerve from the
right political line of policy.
What then are the prejudices which
exist in the Communist Parties against
the right attitude? l think that these
preiudices are mainly based on mar
row guild theology Of the workers in

the industrial countries. Thus, for in
versation with a very fine German
comrade, and in the course of the con-
versation he said to me: what do
you expect to achieve with this work
srs' and peasants government. No
one will have anything to do with this
slogan" Now what does such a say
ing mean from the viewpoint of our
prognosis? 1t means that we must
concentrate all our energies on over
coming this theology.
r ENIN said once that most OF the
IL mistakes made during struggles
and In the revolution arose because
slogans and devices. as well as the
whole orientation which suited one
epoch, are mechanically transferred
to another epoch. In the earlier epoch
of capitalism, the main question Of
our prognosis was: how viii capital
ism develop? Who win get the upper
hand. big or small industriesf What
win be the process Of differentiation
among the former peasantry? How
long will capitalism continue to de-
velop in this way? The role of the
fight was: whatever binders the devel-
opment of capitalism must cease to
exist. We must do away with all the
obstacles in the way of the proleta-
riat. This was the general orienta-
ton. But today when we are con-
fronted with utterly different tasks:
conquest Of political power. overthrow
of capitalism. when we no longer pay
attention to the prognosis, such an
orientation is utterly wrong.

ton was: the establishment of ones

GOVERNOR VETOES
POLICE BILL AND
SIGNS THE GAS TAX

Helena, March 20.--Though dis
pleased with its plan of distribution of
gasoline tax receipts, Governor Erick-
SON Friday signed house bill $50, the
gasoli tax bill, and filed with it
brief stement. He vetoed two meas
ares, the bill limiting the operations
of the metropolitan police law to cities
o. 2, 30 population and over, and the
bill ! ohibiting the use of olemarg-
arine in state institutions, thereby
completing action on all the measures
left on his hands for action by the
legislature when it adjourned. In
signing the gasoline tax bill the gov
ernor said:
Il do not wholly approve of the dis
tribution of proceeds from the gaso-
line tax as provided in this bill. There
are, however, other provisions relating
to the collection of the tax which,
think should be incorporated in the
statute and, feeling that the merits Of
the bill outweigh any objections which
might be made to the manner of dis
tribution, ! am prompted to sign the
bill"
Fears Politics in Police
Under the bill, the state genera
fund will receive 80 per cent of tn,
proceeds, the state highway fund II
per cent and the counties SIS percent
to be used for road purposes. The oil,
Jaw gave the general fund and tn,
counties 40 per cent each and tn
highway fund 20 per cent.
Thirteen other bills were approve,
Friday.
Relative to the police law, No. 30S
the governor in his veto message said
at seems to me that the proposed Law
seeks to take a step backward an
would have the effect of again making
the police department a political foot
ball at every city election. The pres
ent law may not be perfect but, at
rule, the majority Of people of GU
cities appear to be satisfied with i
At least it has the virtue Of consist
ency and uniformity"
Thinks Oleo Adjusts Self
Explaining his veto Of oleomargl
rine bill, No. 34O, the governor sai
he has approved a measure providir
heavy license for selling and des
ing in butter substitutes and cont
ued:
II believe that the industries of Il
state are amply protected against al
abuse which might result from t
free use Of these products in the sta
Of Montana. Furthermore, the hi
character Of the executive heads

bill is ample guarantee that the u
