Munk, Bernard, and many other phys
iologists, have shown that the normal
consciousness, speech, and the inter-

with definite areas Of the cortex and
that these various parts of the soul
are destroyed when the organic areas
connected with them are injured. But
in this respect Nature has uncon-

experiments. Diseases in these va
rious areas show how their functions
are partially or totally extinguished

them (the neurona or ganglionic cells)

1t is particularly interesting to
glance at the central nervous system
Of the vertebrates, the great stem of
which we regard ourselves as the
GROWING point. Here again the anato-
mical and embryological facts speak a
clear and unambiguous language. In
all vertebrates, from the lowest fishes
up to man, the psychic organ makes
its appearance in the embryo in the
same form-a simple cylindrical tube
on the dorsal side of the embryonic
body, in the middle line. The anterior
section OF this "medullary tube" ex-
pands into a club-shaped vesicle,
which is the beginning Of the brain;
the posterior and thinner section be-
comes the spinal cord. The cerebral
vesicle divides, by transverse constric-
tons, into three, then four, and event
ually FIVE vesicles. The most impor-
tant Of these is the first, the cere-
brum. the organ of the highest psychic
functions. The more the intelligence
develops in the higher vertebrates, the
larger, more voluminous, and more
specialized does the cerebrum become.
In particular, the grey mantle or cor
tex of the cerebrum, its most impor-
tant part, only sttains in the higher
mammals the degree of cumulative
and qualitative development that quail
ifies it to be the organ of mind" in
the narrower sense. Thru the famous
discoveries of Paul Flechsig eleven
years ago we were enabled to distin-
guish eight fields in the cortex, four of
which serve as the internal centres of
sense-perception, and the four that lie
between these are the thought centers

jhip of the proletariat, but 1t appears
chat all we have is an extremely nom
proletarian state, headed by a COM
pletely DECEASED caste. The logical
continuance of this train of thought is
bound to lead sooner or later to the
idea of the overthrow of the Soviet
power-it can lead nowhere else.
A ND l repeat: Were l personally
A convinced that the situation among
us has reached a point at which we
have no longer dictatorship of the
working class, and we are being ruled
by an oligarchy detaching itself from
the interests of the broad masses, then
my only conclusion would be that of
Kautsky; Overthrow of the ruling
power Our comrades Of the opposi-
tion have not yet reached this logical
conclusion, and are not likely to. l,
for my part, believe that the god"
of the Bolsheviki will yet stay their
steps in time, and this will be an ex-
cellent thing from the standpoint of
the interests of the party. But we
should be very dense indeed if we did
not comprehend that this remarkable
theological development takes a
straight line in this direction.
The Rumor of Submergng of Soviets
in the Peasant Petty BourgeoIsie.
THERE is another assertion of the
opposition which tends in the same
direction, the thesis that whilst our
upper stratum, the party, the Soviet
power, the state and economic organs,
are all submerged in a bureaucracy
opposed to the interests of the work
ing class, at the same time our subor-
dinate Soviet organs are being sub
merged in the peasant petty bour-
geoisie. The comrades take the cleo
ton results and say: Look, there are
peasants in the village Soviets, and
there Yill be more and more of them
here-this is the way in which the
Soviets are being vitalized." The up
per stories of our building are being
flooded by a bureaucratic clique the
lower stories by the petty bourgeoisie,
and nothing but complete catastrophe
is to be seen on both sides. The two
waves will close over our hands and
we shall suffocate. st"ei{ ofFe
THIS thesis of the submerging Of our
village Soviets under food of
peasants is truly a pearl creative
thought on the part of the new oppo-
sition. The opposition appears to
imagine it possible to govern an agri-
cultural country in such manner. that
the working class nonresident in the
village is still to maintain a numerical
ascendency. How can anyone imagine
that the industrial proletariat is to
have the majority in the village of
Soviets? Anyone who can arrive at
such an idea must truly have cab
bage in place of a head. (Applause.)

various bureaucratic alterations.
THIS is perfectly true. But what is
= the class character of the state?
1t is a workers state. To state that
our state is not workers state, that
it is already semi-bourgeois, is to as
sert that our state is already in con-
dition Of degeneration, and to throw
doubts upon the existence of the pro-
letarian dictatorship in our country.
And where Comrade Ossovsky says
this in so many words in a printed
essay, Comrade Trotsly expresses the
same in his sentence on the eek
tremely nOn-proletarian character of
our state" If this really were the
case, it would be very serious mat
ter indeed. If we really had no prole-
tartan party, would obviously place
have to pursue very different line,
and our party, in so far as it is a prole-
tartan party, would obviously place
questions on the agenda aiming at a
radical purging of the present Soviet
power. Could it be otherwise? This
is the first thesis.
The Rumor of the Bureaucratic Deaen-
Grafton Of the SoViets.
THIS brings us to the thesis of the
4 degeneration Of our whole state
apparatus, and of the deviation of our
policy, and of the policy of the present
Soviet state, from the interests of the
broad proletarian masses. Comrade
Kamenev has declared in so many
words:
'The line you take is departing
from the line of proIetarian revolu-
ton, and is deserving more and more
the interests of the broad proIeta-
rian masses"
THIS is entirely in harmony with the
idea that "our state has an ex-
tremely non-proletarian character"
and with Ossovsky's assertion that we
have no workers state. 1t harmonizes
entirely with the whispers and rumors
on the degeneration of the Soviet
power at present occupying so much
of the time of "pro-new-Soviet"
I SmyenoYyekhoyzy') elements and
various other liberal opponents of our
policy. The opposition has pointed
out that the numerous bureaucratic
groups in our state apparatus are
complemented by the equally numer-
GUS bureaucratic groups in the eco
nomic organs, the co-operatives, the
trade unions, etc. 1t would thus seem
that the whole of the groups compos-
ing our apparatus have practically
nothing in common with the interests
of the broad masses.
ME have been believing in our sim
w plicity that our party is the van
guard of the proletariat; but now it

masses. We believe the Soviet power

THIS, translated into ordinary Ian
4 guage, means: We have no prole-
tartan dictatorship, our state is not a
workers state, but workers and
peasants state; the proletariat must
however defend its interests, and must
thus oppose to a certain extent this
workers and peasants state. Thus,
If, the proletarian party wants to re-
main a proletarian party, it must con-
tend to some degree against the So
Wet power. One thing must be said
first of all, that it is becoming the
fashion to try and find support in Len
ms authority for all kinds of non
sense, and those who do this, think it
is going to cost them nothing, and
that they may practice this art as
long as they choose.
HERE Comrade Ossovsky directs
IL his fire upon me. Lenin grasped
the fact that our state is workers
and peasants state. Bukharin fails
to grasp it. And since Bukharin is
wen known to be an adherent of the
majority of the c. c. it is only nat
ural that the c. c. comprehends moth
ing Of this question, and is thus pur-
suing policy which, as Comrade Os-
sovsky points out, can become ex-
tremely disastrous from the stand
point Of proletarian revolution. First
of all, l must challenge the testimony,
and also reject this reference to Com
rade Lenin as witness, or rather,
myself call upon him as witness. in
order to prove that Comrade Ossov-
sky is entirely in the wrong, and that
his standpoint leads in reality to con-
illusions disastrous to proletarian rev.
