rendering its theological positions
which were leading the opposition to
decay and ruin.
In conclusion, Stain, dwelling upon
the results and Importance of the Fiji
teenth Congress of the Communist
Party of the U. S. S. R., declared:
First, the congress ended the in
ternal strife and consolidated the full
victory over the opposition; second,
it rallied the party stronger than ever
upon the basis of the prospects of the
socialist construction which was the
most important question; third, it de-
feated all waverings and thus secured
the complete victory Of Leninism with
in the party; fourth, the congress
provided the basis for the triumph of
LeninisIn within all parties of the
Comintern and among the revolutions

either accepting the treacherous

THE meeting of Comrade Georges
4 Chicherin with the Turkish for
eign minister, Tewnk Rushdi Bey, has
attracted general attention. The
bourgeois politicians and journalists
are exerting all their powers in order
to show the real meaning" of this
meeting.
Behind the words of sincere friend
ship spoken in Odessa they see every
thing possible except that which is to
be inferred from these words. They
imagine relations between the peoples
cannot be otherwise than 'in accord
ance with their own model" league
of nations Of the east, "Pan-Asiatic
league" flight against Italy and Great
Britain" etc.-this is how they inter
pret the meeting in Odessa.
The Difference.
.DUT they do not see the other, the
u real aspect of the matter. 1t
would seem as If they had forgotten
that the Soviet Union and also Tur'
key, as Comrade Chicherin expressed
it, "have experienced every ordeal in
the period when Imperialism endeav
ored to throttle them; that these times
are past forever and that both coun
tries have concentrated their forces
on peaceful work. upon developing the
creative forces of the masses of the
people,
They do not seem to notice what il
is that unites the peoples of Turkey
and of the Soviet Union.
"The Soviet Union" says Comrade
Chicherin, sis fighting against the at
tempts Of the imperialists to enslave
it economically, against the attempts
to compel it to pay the czarist debts
etc. the Turkish people are fighting
against the attempt to deprive it Of
it's economic and political independ
ence.'

theme and points out that the only
possibility for Turkey to secure guar
antees against the Italian danger ex-
lists in an understanding with Great
Britain and the abandonment of an
independent national policy. He de-
clares straight out that Turkey is in
capable of remaining completely indie
pendent, without some sort of foreign
influence. She must submit to the
leadership of the west, otherwise "she
will find one fine day that she has
lost her territories"
Newman writes further as follows
obviously the only means which
Turkey has in order to save herself
from this danger is gradually to
change her policy in such a manner
that it permits the European ele-
ments which are friendly disposed
towards her to guide her. At the
present time, when relations be-
tween Great Britain and Turkey are
satisfactory, there are obviously no
obstacles to the bringing about of a
final approchement between both
countries in the interests of both
parties.
"As far as Turkey is concerned,
such an approchement would doubly
secure the position Of Turkey i. e.,
on the one hand it would promote
the commercial prosperity of the
country and on the other it would
preserve Turkey from aggressive ac-
tions from outside. With regard to
Great Britain, this approchement
would render easier our foreign pol
icy towards Russia and Persia, it
would tighten the tasks of our man
date in Iraq, it would strengthen the
connecting routes of the British
empire with India and relieve the
situation in Egypt, because the

the cadits) highly praising and encour-

Thus. Stain declared, the opposition
has practically severed themselves
from Leninism and reflect the senti-
ments of unproletarian elements ex-
pressing dissatisfaction with the pro-
letarian dictatorship and hoping for
its dissolution and overthrow. This
quite conforms with the logic Of
events. Today it is only possible to
follow the policy Of Communism or the
policy of social-democracy-a middle
line is effectively impossible.
Stain emphasized that the cam
paign of the opposition lasted only a
few months from the beginning of
October, and analyzed the reasons for
its crushing defeat. First, the opposi-
zion was left armyless; second,
various doubtful elements joined the
opposition while the social-democrats

only amalgamation they have achieved
is amalgamation with Green and Sig
man to crush the left wing and pro-
gressives in the unions"
Gold challenged Fitzpatrick of the
Chicago Federation of Labor and Le-
vine of the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers to debate the questions at
issue in the needle trades unions.
He directed the challenge at Fitzpat-
rick because he took part in the at
tack upon the progressive meeting of
needle workers last Thursday.
Right Wing Fears.
Gold declared that the right wing
ers were afraid to bring the questions
at issue out in the open. That the
reason they hired gangsters and
bought off hall owners was because
they were afraid to let the rank and
ale hear the questions debated in the
open.
Gold made an urgent plea for Chi
cago workers to help the brave strug-
gle OF the New York cloakmakers,
who he declared were faced with a
united front of the employers and the
right wing. At time when the cloak
makers strike leadership in New
York are in the midst of new at
tack from the bosses which has taken
the form OF a lockout of thousands OF
workers, they are the victims Of a
conspiracy Unanswered by President
Sigman and backed by the A. f. Of l..

out OF the union.

that shin bones devoid of papal bless

less if the society were willing to
withdraw the collection from the

it were not to great extent only
pleasant dream of the imperialist di-
plomacy of Great Britain. The inter-
national situation is not so bad for
Turkey as Messrs. Augur and New

The policy of peace not only ex-
presses the interests of the peoples of
the Soviet Union or of the vanquished
peoples who are striving to build up
new life This same policy also cor
responds to the wishes of the broad
masses of the population of the i'm

Language of Threats.
TNHE policy Of the western states
4 knows only one language when
dealing with the East-the language
of threats. But nationalist Turkey of
the year 1926, which has experienced
every ordeal in the fight for inde-
pendence, is not the Ottoman empire,
and it is no longer possible to speak
to her in the language of threats, even
if these threats are sweetened by
promises of advantages. This will
scarcely lead to that object to which

"The close friendship existing be-

peace in general and also of a peace

Language of Peace.
TT is such language, in which there
l. is no trace Of agressiveness, the
language of peace, of brotherhood, of
equality and friendship, that the diplo-
mats of the Soviet Union and of Tur-
key have spoken in Odessa.
The press of the Soviet Union and
of Turkey also speak in the same
language.
The diplomats and journalists OF
the west use a completely different
language towards Turkey
In this respect the articles of the

are directed to the waste territories
IN Asia Minor, where a government
absolutely lacking in culture, has con

ness" He further develops the idea
that the Dodecanese Islands are for
