speech notable for its Weakness and
confusion, state that It would be alb
surd for the United States to try to

upon one thing and that was that the

international Press Correspondent
MOSCOW, U. S. S. r., Dec. 29.-
(5y MaiI.)-After adopting the re-
solution upon the report of the
Russian Communist Party delega-
ton to the c. l., the party congress
decided against SO votes of the Len
ingrad comrades, for an appeal to
the Leningrad party organization
and in consequence Of the continual
struggle against the decisions of the
party congress by the Leninerad
Pravda to undertake alterations in
its editorial staff.
The appeal of the party congress
to all members of the Leningrad
party organization, said amongst
other things the following:
1.-THE party congress draws the at
tention of the Leningrad organiza-
tion to the Incorrect actions Of the
Leningrad delegation in the party
congress. A co-speech to the re-
port Of the central committee was
made and special declaration dan
gerous to the unity of the party
with the signature of Kamenev was
published in the Leningrad Pravda.
"The LenIngrad district party
conference recorded its competence
in the central committee and in
strueted its delegation to vote also
in this spirit. The Leningrad con-
ference stressed the necessity for
party unity. The Lehingrad party
delegation, however, voted against
the whIoe party congress and op-
posed itself to the congress. All
Leningrad workers and commun-
lists declared from the beginning the
necessity of keeping in step with
the whole party, however, the Len
ingrad Pravda began a campaign
against the decisions Of the party
congress, that is to say a campaign
for the destruction Of party unity.
The Leningrad district party
Committee prohibited the meeting of
the Viborg district organization to
demonstrate their solidarity with
the party congress. This injured
the elementary rights of the party
democracy.

THE RUSSIAN COMMUNIST PARTY
CONGRESS ISSUES AN APPEAL TO
THE COMRADES IN LENINGRAD

"The party congress demands
that all Leninerad party comrades
make an end to these attempts to
endanger the party unity. The op-
position in the party congress has
exposed itself completely. Whilst
the leaders of the opposition spoke
Of no differences of opinion with the
central committee at the previous
district conferences, and won
votes under the flag of loyalty to
the party leadership they appeared
at the party congress as a closed
and special group.
"Their contention that the party
does not see the danger of the
Kulaks is false, their attempt to
weaken the significance Of the Len
mist slogan of the alliance of the
proIetariat and the village poor
with the middle peasantry is dan
gerous, their contention that the
party congress would have rejected
their proposals to alter the reso-
luton upon the political report, is
incorrect.
1.-THE opposition did not introduce
proposals for alteration, but a dec
laration which took the form Of an
ultimatum. The decisions of the
party congress are obligatory ror all
party members and after the party
congress they may not be discussed.
Each worker and Communist sees
that the resolution upon the politi-
ca report is from the first to the
last line written in the spirit of
Leninism and always with the
greatest care for the unity of the
party. In the name of this unity
the party congress weakened
various foundations, but neverthe-
less the Leningrad delegation voted
against it. The contention that the
party wanted to reduce the signifi-
canoe of the Leningrad organiza-
ton, is calumny. The party con-
gress does not doubt, that the Lenin-
grad organization, which always
stood in the front ranks of the
party, will do its best to repair the
mistakes of its delegates"
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-02-16

the tone of this declaration was that
of an ultimatum. This declaration
made unanimous adoption of the
resolution depend definitely upon an
acceptance of the proposals Of the
Leningrad comrades for alteration. 1t
was question therefore not a mutual
working thru the draft Of the resolu-
ton, but of demand for the adoption
of the Leningrad proposals for altera-
tions. The majority has never re-
fused to work thru all questions with
the minority. The party history con-
tains no party congress where the op-
position has had an unlimited posi-
bility Of presenting its standpoint. The
sixty opposition speakers spoke more
than all the other six hundred. Elmo
view has declared that he stands upon
the basis of party unity and party dis
cipline, nevertheless his attitude and
the attitude of the Leningrad delega-
ton proves the Contrary. After the
acceptance of the basic decisions OF
the party congress the Leningrad
Pravda continued its daily campaign
against these decisions and attempted
to undermine them. II is difficult to
reconcile this with znovlevs state
ment upon the binding nature of party
decisions for all party members. The
significance of the appeal to the
Leningrad organization is in the fact
that II attempts Immediately to put
an end TO all breaches Of discipline
and to create complete guarantee
for a real party unity. Stormy Ap-
plause).
The roll-call upon the speech Of
zinoviev, upon the activity of the
Russian Communist Party delegation
In the executive committee of the
Communist International as demand
ed by the Leningrad delegation, was
unanimous with the exception OF 1O4
abstentions.

DORAH, in his fight against United
y States adherence to the world
court, had the support Of two demo-
cratic senators-James A. Reed Of
Missouri and Cole Blease of South
Carolina. Reed was, next to Borah,
the most able opponent OF the court
and his speeches followed the gen.
eral political line laid down by the
Idaho senator. One not familiar with
their political affiliations would con-
clude that Borah and Reed represent
ed the same party and the republican
and democrat pro-courters an op-
posing party.
But Cole Blease, former governor
of South Carolina, is unique. No such
character has appeared on the sem
ate floor since the days Of pitch
fork Ben" Tillman. He is a typical
ku kluxer in psychology and believes
in the superiority myth of white, nor
die, protestant born 100 per cent
Americans. In a stupidity stilted
speech on January Is, Blease read
long and irrelevant quotations from
Washington, Jefferson, John Hay,
Elihu Root, and Theodore Roosevelt
and then, without rime or reason, he
proceeded to discuss the propriety of
Washington women blowing cigarette
smoke in the face of the helpless
men, while incidentally proclaiming
his disbelief in the theory Of evolu-
ton. Continuing he INDUCED in a
TRADE against foreign ministers at
Washington who give booze to the
young ladies of the capitol city and
concluded with typical southern
eulogy of womanhood.
Why should a foreigner have good
booze when Southern senators must
drink moonshine? And is 1t not the
duty of Southern gentlemen to defend
women from everyone-but them
selves?
He got his second wind and then
proceeded to air his views of anar-
chists and Communists (Which he

States Objections to Court.
DLEASE'S speech of the 18th con-
- cluded without anyone knowing
what he was talking about and, after
a half hour of such piffle, most of
the senators had vanished to the
cloak rooms to escape the torture
of listening to their distinguished col
league from South Carolina. Blease,
in his first speech forgot to state his
objections to the court, so on the
very day of the voting when debate
was limited to-an hour for each sena-
tor, Blease devoted his hour to Ella
borating his very profound and learn
ed objections. In the opening of his
second speech he turned to the de-

decree has been entered in it's favor.
While Pepper was trying to regain his
composure, Reed shot this query at
him:
"Mr. President, II the senator will
pardon me, the senator's position is
this: That II we have a court and
we agree to submit our disputes to
il, and do submit them and the
courts decision is not obeyed, then
war will result anyway, If the ma
tions feel like going to war;"
Pepper flabbergasted, blurted out:
THAT is EXACTLY WHAT /
SAID!" y
The End of the Fight.
THE gag" rule limited debate to
4 one hour for each speaker and
with the pro-court senators being pill
loried as agents of Morgan and hypo-
crits who talked peace while prepar-
ing for war, but few speeches were
made before Borah again took the
floor. In his argument replying to
the Wisconsin administration senator,
Lenroot, he suggested that the Moses
might result in securing
an amendment to the covenant Of the
league of nations to the effect that
it could not employ force for the pur-
pose of executing Judgment Of the
court. Lenroot interrupted with the
question: Does the senator from
Idaho think that they would make
that amendment"
Borah replied:
"They would do it, Mr.. President,
unless they regard the covenant Of

MOSCOW, U. S. S. r., Dec 2s =
~ (By MaiD-Before the adoption

list Party congress to,the Leningrad
organization already reported, Zinc
view spoke in the name of the Lenin-
grad delegation and declared that the
declaration of Kamenev before the
voting upon the political resolution
was not an ultimatum, but had con-
tanned only proposals for alterations.
The rejecting OF the proposal of the
Leningrad delegation to form COM
mittee for working thru the political
resolution, was in contradiction with
party usage With regard to the ac-
cusations that the Viborg district or
CARNATIONS had been prohibited by
the Leningrad party leadership to
take up an attitude for the decisions
of the party congress, the truth was
that the Leningrad party leadership
which had sent its leading comrades
to the party congress, did not wish
that the discussion upon the decisions
Of the party congress should be begun
in Leningrad in their absence. BY
voting against the political resolution,
the Leningrad comrades had in no
way created any danger Of split
In the history OF the party there are
dozens OF cases where strong minori
ties have voted against the decision
of the party congress, nevertheless
these decisions had become law for
