fore we must fight relentlessly those
threatening party unity.
Buck of Canada declared that the
Canadian party entirely and uncondi-
tionally supports the decisions of the
XIV congress Of the Communist Party
Of the Soviet Union on the possibility
Of building socialism in one country.
The oppositional bloc Of Zinoviev and
Trotsky is utterly principleless; a
naturalization OF the views of the
opposition would break the union of
the workers and the peasants. In the
matter of the building of socialism in
the U. s. s. r. we follow Lenin's
teachings on the unification of indus
try and rural economy in one harmon
lied socialistic economy. The crea-
tive forces OF the proletarian dictator
ship supported by the revolutionary
workers Of the world will secure the
final victory of socialism.
Scandinavian Declaration.
Sirola of Finland read a statement
on behalf Of the scandinavian Com
munist parties Norway, Sweden, Dem
mark, Finland) entirely approving of
the theses of the XIV conference of
the c. P. s. U. on the question of
the oppositional block. The actions of
the opposition are an attempt to
create a new platform for the non
Communistic elements still within the
Comintern and to extend the fractional
activities towards the international.
The Scandinavian parties categorical
ly reject the theories of the opposi-
ton; the factional activities must
cease or will result in exclusion from
the party. zinoviev, formerly the re-
sponsible leader of the Comintern, is
guilty Of fragrant breach Of disci-
pine. The Comintern does not need
zinoviev, he concluded.
"Forgot Lenin."
Thaelmann, of Germany, declared
that the speeches of the opposition
were a direct attack on the Comintern
which stands firm in spite of them.
The opposition is continuing its harm
full work, is acting as bloc, and is
violating its declaration of Oct. 16.
zinoyiev is acting openly in an anti
party direction. The opposition is ap-
pealing less to the Comintern than to
the decaying right ultra-left elements,
in cooperation with the German OPP
position. Zinoviev and Kameneff en-
dorsed the platform of Trotskyism: a
Misunderstanding of the peasant ques-
ton, and an overestimation of the
forces of the enemy.
zinoviev ignored the fact that cap
talism was decaying and not ascend
ng and that Imperialism aggravated
he law Of the irregular development
of apitalism-which makes possible
the construction of socialism in one
country Tie opposition has forgotten
Lenin's theory of Imperialism. The
opposition is essentially defeatist.
Soviet Wages Increasing.
There have been put forward no
practical proofs substantiating the
charges that the G. P. 8. U. was &C
quiring bourgeois character and that
the proletarian dictatorship was dis
integrating. The facts prove the re-
verse: in the last three years real
wages have increased 40 per cent, in
dustrial production has grown so per
cent in 1924, 40 per cent in 1925, the
role of private capital has decreased.
Socialistic construction is progressing
and the forces Of revolution are grow
ing.
On the question OF the united trade
union front Zinoviev made the biggest
mistakes: he wrongly demands the
withdrawal from the Anglo-Russian
committee, forgetting that the com.
mittee is a means of attracting the
working masses and not the reformist
leaders. The same applies to the
wrong demand that the c. p. of China
quit the Kuomintang.
The German workers remembering
how in the end Of 1923 Trotsky sup
ported the German rights, Brandler
