Think before you speak.
Let your recreations be manful,
not sinful.
Speak no evil of the absent, for
it is unjust.
Let your conversation be without
malice or envy.
Speak not of doleful thinks in
time of mirth or at the table.
Be not apt to relate news, if you
know not the truth thereof.
Let your discourse with men of
business be short and comprehen-
sive.

ed by fundamental arguments" sup
piled by us, the right" the followers
Of Hilferding. 1t is not to be won
dered at when our enemies, who have
q very fine feeling for anything
wrong, comment on such books about
Lenin by remarking that it is diff
cult to distinguish whether they have
been written by co-worker or rival
of Lenin.
Leninism Against Trotskyism.
The results may now be summed
up. We are the monopoly party in
our country. We gather together in
our ranks every organized worker in
the country; but we must not forget
for moment that we are surrounded
by elements foreign to our class, and
that these elementary forces do not
diminish, but will multiply and be-
come politically more enlightened.
They do not possess the form Of legal
organization. Petty-bourgeois intel
ligence will also grow on the soil pro
vided by the development Of industry,
Of the works and factories, and of
trade. All these petty-bourgeois ele-
ments. finding no open means Of ex-
preston in any social organization,
are naturally endeavoring to further
their aims thru the medium of our
party itself. The petty bourgeois ell
ements, in exercising this pressure
upon our party, naturally seek the
weakest link in the chain, and as
naturally they find this weakest link
where people have entered the party
without being assimilated to it, and
are possessed by secret conviction
leaving them no peace, that they are
more in the right than the party, and
that it is mere narrow-mindedness on
the part of the party, mere conserv-
atism, tradition, and adherence to this
or that clique in leading positions,
which prevents the pa ty from learn
ing from its real saviors, such as Com
rade Trotsky.
1t is with great regret that state
this, and the whole party will echo
this regret, but it has to be said: /:
Comrade Trotsky has become the
channel thru which the elementary
forces of the petty-bourgecis find
their way into our party. The whole
character of his advances, and his
whole historical past, show this to be

the case. In his contentious against
the party he has already become a
symbol, all over the country, for ev-
arything directed against our party.
This is a fact which it is most i'm
portant for Comrade Trotsky to grasp.
If he will grasp this and draw the me-
cessary conclusions, then everything
can be made good again. Whether he
wants it or not (and assuredly he
does not want it, he has become, for
all who regard Communism as their
greatest enemy, symbol for emanci-
patton from the thrall of the Com
munist Party. This is the regrettable
but perfectly inevitable conclusion of
all who are accustomed to judge po-
litical events from the standpoint of
actual analysis Of class relations, and
not from the standpoint Of mere
words.
/ am aware that in Moscow, city
particularly receptive for all manner
of rumors, perfectly reliable" in
formation is already being spread
abroad to the effect that firstly Com
Erade Trotsky's book has been pro-
hibited, and secondly, that Trotsky's
exclusion from the party is contem-
plated and Tr0tsky himself is no long
er in Moscow. All this is naturally
mere gossip. It has not occurred to
anybody to prohibit Comrade Trots-
ky's book; no single member Of the
C. G. has raised the question of any
reprisals against Comrade Trotsky.
Reprisals, expulsion, and the like
would not enlighten anybody, but
would on the contrary render en-
Ilightenment more difficult and at the
same time give opportunities to those
brewers Of confusion who would like
to SOW the seeds of schism in the
party, and prevent the real funda-
mentals of Bolshevism being explain
ed in their differentiation from Trot-
skyism; and it is this explanation
which is of fundamental Importance
at present.
1t must be perfectly clear to every
conscious member of the party that
for us, the Bolsheviki, and for the in
ternationaI proletariat marching for
ward to victory, Leninism is sufici-
ent, and that it is not necessary to
substitute or improve Leninism by
Trotskyism. Enthusiastic applause).
