envy, it is our ally, and when we admit
these peasants into the apparatus of
our state administration, and thus in
duce them to follow us, then it is
surely remarkable state of mind
which can maintain that, because we
do this, we have no workers state,
but some schismatic petty bourgeois
two-class state, ETC., and that there
fore we have to conclude it to be our
duty to protect the purely proletar.
ian ranks against the soviet state.
The rot of the theoretical error OF
the opposition lies in the fact that
these comrades fail to understand that
the proletarian dictatorship must adj.
NIT it's class allies to the organs OF
the dictatorship if it is to convert
these allies to its standpoint, to guide
them, and to lead them into the so
cialist path in the interests of what
was to Lenin the supreme principle
Of the proletarian dictatorship, i. e. Of
the alliance between the working
class and the peasantry.
THIS is the real definition of the
4 standpoint. And if the existence
OF proletarian dictatorship in our
country is doubted because we have
no industrial proletariat in the vii
lagos and in the village soviets, be
cause we have no historical proletar
ians in our organs in places where
not even magnifying glass can dis
cover proletarian at all, then this
simply means that the main task in
cumbent upon the proletarian dicta
torship, the task Of inducing the poor
peasantry and the great mass of the
middle peasantry to take part in the
work Of actualizing a socialist state
Of society, has not been properly
grasped. This lack Of comprehension
is a striking example of that lack OF
faith in the possibility of the actual
ization Of socialism in our country
Of that lack of understanding for the
methods towards this actualization
which was discussed in such decisive
terms at the XIV. party congress.

Proctor told the teacher" that the
girl had gone to school and that she
would herself go to the school at once
to investigate.
This she did, and while she was gone
thieves entered the house by unlock
ing the front door. went through a
desk, and took several articles of
household furniture including two
cane bottom chairs, rocking chair, an
ironing board, an axe. a bed quilt and
some table linen. The reason the
thieves did not take other quilts and
table linen is not known as there were
numerous other articles of this ma
