| mltteeS in the party.
THE next speaker, the representa-
4 tive of the central committee of
the Young Communist League, Tchap-
lin, declared that the plenum of the
central committee of the Young Com
munist League had declared itself by
majority before the party congress
completely in agreement with the pol
icy of the central committee of the
party. The questions in dispute have
an immediate significance for the edu-
cation of the youth.
After describing the history of the
| struggle inside the central committee
Of the. youth, the speaker said that in
consequence Of the attitude Of Zinc
view the youth had been placed in op-
| position to the central committee Of
the party. The speaker said that the
youth movement must develop under
the leadership Of the whole party and
the whole central committee and
should not be the monopoly OF indi-
vidual leaders who used the youth in
the interests of their internal strug-
gle in the central committee.
The proposition of Zinoviev to or
ganize delegate meetings of the mid
die peasant youth showed panic be-
fore the immense growth of the Com
munist youth in the village. The
Youth Communist League according
to its members is workers and peas
ants league, in its essence, however,
and according to its task it is pro-
letarian, a Communist league. The
leadership of the party must be Sc
cured in the league. The speaker pro-
tested against the idea that the youth
should be letter than the party. This
would lead to a destruction of the
party leadership of the youth. The
speaker closed with the promise that
the leadership of the Young Commun-
list League would be always and every
where carried on in harmony with the
whole party and its central commit
tee.
THE next speaker Safarov, declared,
L that the covering up of the ques-
ton of state capitalism and the strug-
gle against petty bourgeois tendencies
was tremendous danger for the
party. The speaker spoke against
those comrades who shared the opin-
ion of the majority of the central COM
mittee.
The next speaker, Lomov, declared
that the opposition consisted of var
ious and contradictory elements. On
the one hand from left elements like
Sokolnikov. The speaker declared
that the opposition lacked principle
and closed by expressing the hope
that the Leningrad organization would
overcome the individual voices Of var
ious leaders and go together with the
central committee. (Applause.1
! WoRoSHILOv, the peoples commits
sar for war, declared: Our oppo-
sition is built up upon a territorial
!, principle. daughter and applause).
The ,Leningrad comrades declared
that the discussion had surprised
them. That is incorrect, the white
guardist publication "Dni" wrote al
ready on Dec. 10, that at the Lenin-
grad government conference, Zino-
view discussed the necessity for a
sharp struggle against the digressions
in the Communist Party. This means
that the Leningrad comrades opened
the struggle against the central COM
mittee How was that possible?
Only because the Leningrad organ
ization was isolated for a number Of
years from the party and from the
central committee We value the serv.
; ices of the Leningrad organization
very highly, but a privileged situation
of individual organizations is impermis-
sable. The system of privileged stu
ations must end. The Moscow organ
ization has overcome this error and
has realized real example of Lenin-
list unity thru collective work.
! NTILL shortly before the party con-
- ference responsible comrades from
the opposition have denied the exist
ence of essential differences of opin-
ion, but at this party conference these
comrades have come forward with
their own platform which actually is
not very different from the platform
of the central committee. The reason
for this lies in the question of the or
ganizational structure of our leading
centers.
1t is question of the formation Of
really collective leadership. Upon
this point the opposition has peculiar
opinions. According to it this collec.
tive leadership should lie in the
hands of two to three persons. We
others wanta collective leadership in
which the whole power and author
ity lies in the hands of the whole cen
trail committee.
Young members Of the central com
mittee have shown thru practical
work that they are really capable OF
collective leadership and work. The
opposition want to alter the recipro.
