imported from abroad, present con
dition of the industrial equipment of
the U. S. S. R. is the best evidence
of the dependence OF the country on
the world economy. The completion
Of the process of our economic res
toration means the beginning of our
bond with the world economy and the
necessity Of importing foreign equip
ment. The industrialization in the
coming period means more and not
less dependence upon world capital
ism.
While Capitalism Exists.
Naturally if world capitalism is
overthrow the U. S. S. R. will con.
struct within a decade more machines
than now, but while capitalism ex-
lists we must not ignore the division
of labor which prevails in the world
economy. If we ignore entirely the
pre-war development of Russia and
try to produce everything ourselves,
our development will retrogress and
become slower. The isolated social
list state is the fancy of publicists or
resolution mongers; only metaphysi-
clans can advance the theory of So
cialism in one isolated country and
ignore the fact that we are increas-
ingly entering the circle Of world
economy, he said,
Trotsky contended that Stains as
sertion to the effect that the construc-
ton Of socialism means the conquer
ing Of the bourgeoisie Of ones own
country is unconvincing; we are not
dealing with the proletariat versus
the bourgeoisie of its country but with
the competition of socialist economy
versus world capitalist economy. Our
revolution constitutes part Of the
world proletarian revolution, hence
the impossibility of demanding an abb
solute guarantee Of the possibility Of
building socialism in one country
which will achieve socialism only thru
the proletarian world revolution.
Trotsky concluded his remarks by
saying that these questions will arise
again in the future at congresses and
plenums of the Comintern.
5ukharIn Replies.
Bukharin, who was met with tre-
mendous ovation and the singing of
the international, pointed out that
Trotsky has not yet recognized the
incorrectness Of the theory of perma-
nent revolution. About Trotsky's re-
mark that Pepper was the inventor of
a peculiar U. s. S. R. Monroe Doc
trine," Bukharin retorted that if we
could achieve the building of social
ism as we'll as America built CAPT
talism, then very well. Trotsky does
not recognize the fact that imperial
ism aggravates the irregular develop
ment Of capitalism, and ignores the
fact that our own socialist base is
growing with the growth of our de-
pendence upon the world economy.
Trotsky Forgot.
When Trotsky opposed Stalin's
statement that the victory of social
ism means the conquering of our
country's bourgeoisie he forgot that
Stain spoke of the Economic" vic
tory and not only the political which
is an accomplished fact. Economic
ally we are driving the bourgeoisie
from small and big commerce and
neutralizing the new capitalist peas
antry.
But the problem has not yet been
achieved.
Zinoviev's speech on the extension
of the inner party strife towards the
international is the preparation, for
still intense fractional struggle, Buk
harm stated. The German opposition
the strongest Of all, wants Official
support of the former Russian oppo-
sition. (Laughter).
The speaker emphasized that the
taunt of the opposition about failure
to recognize the international charac-
ter of the revolution was a calumny
against the party. The opposition is
silent on the main question: whether
we can successfully build socialism.
The three most important problems
are capitalist wars and the Comm
tern, capitalist world economy and the
U. S. S. R., home difficulties of the
U. S. S. r. The first problem con.
sists in the fundamental contradic-
