suit and bombing planes in the United

suit and bombing planes in the United States was concerned we were practi- cally in the same position as when we entered the war and that 1t would be eight or nine months from the time a type was settled on before 1t could be produced in quantities. The unsatis- factory situation which exists today may be gathered from the mass of de- tails and conflicting opinions which have been the basis of charges by Colonel William Mitchell.
 The figures representing costs have been juggled and it is not possible to ascertain with any degree of accuracy the omtuno of money spent or actually wasted Tn an official statement is- sued by officials of the Army Air Ser vice a discrepancy of $250,61O, ,693.17 was discoveredfi which false informa- ton was given to the public with de- liberate design. An amount in excess of S700,000,000 was spent without pro- ducing a single American-made fight ing plane, at the battle front, and dur ing the war aviation fatalities in the United States, where American made planes were flown, reached higher figure than those of the American avi ation forces in France where our avi ators flew over the battlefield in for. eign made planes, some of which pre- viously had been discarded by our Al lies.
 Since the war another half billion dollars have gone to join the S7OO,- OOO,OO0 already spent. Plans are on foot for still further raid on the Treasury, this time for subsidies in the name of commercial aviation which if allowed before the situation is cleared up, will probably mean hand out of another half billion.
 The enormous amounts we have in vested in aviation are almost beyond human comprehension. Since the war we have invested in aviation $125,
 000,000 more than the entire cost oi the construction of the Panama ca nal, including the s40,O0O,0OO paid fo1 the French rights to the canal, and the s10,000,000 paid to Panama.
 Under present conditions, according to statistics of what we have spent and what we have got, if an effective program should suddenly call for 2O0C fighting planes designed for the pur poses for which they are intended, de livery would be made in 232 years, the planes would cost more than S17,000, 900 each and 18,453 lives. A rough comparison of gross expenditures and gross results shows on it's face the earmarks of a colossal swindle.-H. l. Scaife, in The Nation for December 9

To the Seward Gateway belongs the credit for having published the larg- est edition of any daily paper ever is- sued in Alaska. We refer to it's Pros perity Edition of 60 pages received in the last mall which contains much Interesting matter of a local and his. torical nature and is profusely illus trated with cartoons and half tone en- cravings. It is splendid advertising for Alaska and the kind of publicity the Territory needs. We congratulate Messrs. Selby and Hoben, proprietors upon the achievement which was made possible through the progressive mer chants of Seward in their liberal ad |vertising patronage. On Alaska Day October IS, 1908, when the publisher of the Cordova Daily Times was edi tor of the Fairbanks Daily Times News he issued 36-page edition, containing a write-up of the mining resources of the Panama Valley, which we believe held the record for the largest single publication in the Territory until the Gateway did itself so proud.-Cordo. va Daily Times.

9 Anybody except the Communist
Os batting editor OF the New Leader
will admit at once that a statement
by the Communist international has
much more authority than one made
by an individual and this is the rea-
son why the denial was made by the
@. /. instead OF by Stain himself.
But the last thing the editor OF the
New Leader desires is correct an
swer to his questions. What he wants
is to create more confusion in the
minds of his readers and thus make
more difficult q clear appreciation by
them of the deception he is guilty Of.
ENVEN the cable OF inquiry to Stain
~ which the New Leader has sent
and which It publishes in a box in
connection with the article to which
we refer, IL so worded as to confuse
the issue. It reads,
Stain, Moscow: Please affirm or
deny authenticity Of severe crltl-
oIsm Of ZInovleV attributed to you
In American press reports Of the
proceedings Of the Russian Com
munIst Party oentraI committee.
"Ths New Leader"
TT is well-known to the editor Of the
L New Leader that in the discussions
which have been taking place in the
Russian Communist Party, Stain has
criticized Zinoviev severely. But this
is not the question at issue The ques-
tion is:
Was the report Of stalln's speech
carried by the Hearst press and re-
printed by the New Leader, true or
false, and also;
Was the Reputation Of the state
ments ascrlhed to Stain, In cable
signed by John Pepper and pub
llshed in The DAILY WORKER, an

ed with the aid Of Herbert Hoover
and Roumanian troops Imprisoned
after the fall Of the Soviet govern
ment and sentenced to death, he was
exchanged with Bella Kun and Others
for Hungarian prisoners held by the
Soviet government of Russia.
After being ip America for two
years he returned to Soviet Russia
and is now, as already stated, the
head of the department for Agitation
and Propaganda Of the Communist In
ternational.
In 1924, Current History" publish
ed a long article on the Hungarian
revolution with sketch OF Poganys
activities and picture OF him taken
in his Red army uniform. The editor
of the New Leader either knows these
facts and pretends ignorance, or If he
does not, is too ignorant TO edit even
socialist paper.
9 The authority which Pepper has
IL to speak for Stain is that vested
IN the head Of department Of the
Communist International carrying out
the instructions of it's executive com
mittee. The false description of Sta
Inns statements published by the
Hearst press and given worldwide
circulation and which the New Lead
err published as the gospel, evincing a
childish confidence in the veracity Of
William Randolph, was Of sufficient
Importance for the Communist Inter
national 10 take upon itself the task
of denying that Stain. secretary Of
the leading party of the Communist
international, had made any such
statements.
The task naturally was allotted to
the Agitation and Propaganda depart
ment.

authentic document?
TT the editor Of the New Leader was
4 striving to get the truth he would
have cabled asking first:
Were the specific statements IN
question true or false and, second;
Was the Reputation published by
The DAILY WORKER an authorlz-
ed and official statement
In conclusion it must be said that
the editor of the New Leader is about
the only person in the United States
possessing even a slight knowledge OF
the revolutionary movement and pro-
Tossing sympathy with it who has &C
cepted the Hearst version Of Stains
speech. His hatred of the Commu-
nists has led him into a blunder that
the youngest member of the Young
Peoples Socialist League would be
ashamed to make.
A s for Editor Oneal's expressed de-
"A sire to print Stains own denial
Of. the Hearst lies, we feel quite sure
that he will be given the opportunity.
Stripped OF its vilification Of the
Communists and jesuitical reasoning,
the article in the New Leader is not
only an admission OF mistake but
an admission that the editor deliber-
ately used the hes Of the capitalist
press to make case against the lead
er of the Communist Party Of Rus
STA, the Communist Party Of America
and the Communist International.
This kind of united front with
the capitalist press has not met with
the approval Of the readers Of the
New Leader and it shows that the
working class integrity Of the social
list party membership is of far high
er level than that of its leaders-old
and new.

from proletarian.
TT must be observed that the idea
1 that our state is not workers
state, that it is no longer the state Of
proletarian dictatorship, is gaining
continual ground in oppositional cir
cles. 1t might be thought that this
sentence simply escaped from Com
rade Trotsky in the heat of discussion.
This is possible; but in this case II
would have been his duty to withdraw
the assertion afterwards. This was
the more necessary that l drew atten-
ton, in my speech at the plenum of
the C. c., to this sentence, as some
thing entirely foreign to us.
T REPEAT that 1t is possible for
L Comrade Trotsky to have made this
assertion in the heat of the discus
sion. But this sentence does not
stand alone. An article will appear in
the next number of the "Bolshevik,"
by Comrade Ossovsky of the oppo-
sition. / have already made mention
of another article of his in the Dol
shevik," in which he maintained that
we should not by any means take less
from the peasants than czarism and
the landowners took. Comrades, you
must accord more attention to this
question, for you win well be able to
grasp that the question Of the charac-
ter OF our state power is to us the
central question. Have we a prole-
tartan dictatorship or have we not?
All other questions decidedly depend
on this one, for if we have no prole-
tartan dictatorship, this proletarian
dictatorship must be actualized. And
then we have to clear out Of the way
every obstacle hampering the realiza-
ton of this proletarian dictatorship.
CoMRADE oSSOVSKY writes:
at would be we'll for US at the
present moment to reeollect tho
words spoken by comrade Lenin at
the session Of the Communist frao-
tion Of the VIII. Soviet Congress.
He said that our state Is not work.
ers' state, but a workerS and peas
ants state. II Is only now, six
years later, that II becomes com
prehenslble why comrade BukharIn
Is by no means able to draw the con-
illusions rising from the fact that
our state Is no workers. state, but
workers. and peasants state. The
Lenin View Of the workers. and
Peasants' state assumes certain In
evltable distance between this state
and the state consisting Of the pro-
letarlat and to a certain extent OF
the peasantry. The attempts to lg-
more the Inevitable distance between
the workers. and peasants state and
the proletarlat are likely to be dis
astrous to the prolotarIsn revolu-
ton"

TT has never been our custom to
4 torture dying enemies or to taunt
them with their slight hope of sal
walton as they lie on their death bed.
But the words of dying men some
times are cherished as revelations by
the unwary and. In the case OF the
New Leader, 1t is our duty to call at
tent1on again to the tortuous methods
by which It seeks to explain It's part
in one Of the most monstrous fabri-
cations ever folsted upon American
workers, 1. O., the fake reputation Of
the world revolutionary struggle by
Stain, secretary Of the Communist
Party of the Soviet Union, concocted
by the Hearst syndicate.
THE DAILY WORKER received a
L cabiegram from the department
for Agitation and Propaganda Of the
Communist international, signed by
John Pepper, branding the Hearst
report OF Stains speech as q lie
made up Of the whole cloth. The
DAILY WORKER published the cable
and G. q. Ruthenberg, secretary OF
the Workers (Commun1st) Party, sent
copy to the New Leader with the
request that it, claiming as It does TO
be a revolutionary working class pa
per, publish this important item OF
world interest to working class read
sra.

Iup a storrA In the ranks of the so
ctalist party and the New Leader edi-
tor has been forced to repudiate the
refusal to correct its Stain story in
its issue for September 1S.
DUT the New Leader sins again
- and In the worst possible way,
1t tries to confuse it's readers and in
so doing is forced to display an ig-
norance OF world affairs so abysnal
that one is tempted to express pity
rather than the condemnation which
the maneuver merits.
For instance:
The New Leader, while It offers to
print denial Of the Stain speech II
made by Stain himself, tries to cast
doubt on the authenticity OF the de-
NAL printed by The DAILY WORK

We can by no means guarantee our
progress by these means The policy
pursued by the c. O. is adapted to the
actualization of our industrial develop
ment. The policy recommended by
the opposition would not only plunge
us into a series of political difficulties,
but would retard and destroy the
speed Of progress of industry.
NOW to the third question, which
IN have already discussed in my pos
tive consideration of the situation.
The comrades Of the opposition ex-
aggerate most frightfully the differ
entiation within the peasantry, and
thus they constantly tend to fall into
the mistake of ignoring the middle
peasant; they devote too little atten-
ton to the question of the uplift Of
the middle peasantry, to the question
Of the co-operatives, etc.. In connec-
ton with this aspect Of the peasant
question they have further failed to
grasp the problem of the transforms
ton to be undergone in the econom-
les Of the peasantry, the problem Of
the guidance of the peasants into other
systems of work and other paths Of
development, their guidance into so
cialist methods thru the agency of the
co-operatives, and thru the growing in
fiuence Of the organs of the proletar-
ian dictatorship on the economics Of
the middle peasantry. This question
plays an extremely important part in
our discussion. 1t is expressed In
various combinations, forms the basis
of various differences, and remains
one of those fundamental bones of
contention between the great major
ity of the c. G. and the leaders OF the
opposition.
The Social Character Of tho Soviet
State.
7 EFT us now turn to the third prob
II lem, the problem OF the power and
the dictatorship Of the proletariat, and
the policy OF the proletarian dictator
ship within our country. You may
perhaps ask: Has this question then
become a matter Of contention in our
party? And yet It is true; the OPP
position has made even this question
a matter OF contention. Even in this
question 1t has begun to express its
doubts in series Of attacks and as
sertions. At first It was only the char
acter of our socialist industry which
was made the subject of doubt, then
came the doubt as to the correctness
OF our tactics in the peasantry ques-
ton, and now the character, the class
character, of our Soviet power in our
country is being questioned. This is
another step in the development of the
oppositional idea, another step away
from the true feminist standpoint.
CoMRADE TRoTsKY, in one OF his
~ speeches at the plenum OF the G..
C., advanced the thesis OF the lex
tremely non-proletarian character" OF
the soviet power existing in our coun-
try. When the peasant question came
under discussion, in connection with
the results OF the elections, the OPP
position stated that we are threatened
by deviation in the direction OF the
rich peasantry, and demanded decis-
