Zinoviev and Kamenev all the time
declared their loyalty to the resolu-
ton of the 14th party conference, they
always declared to the Leningrad or
ganization that they were in agree
ment with the policy of he central
committee, but afterwards they came
before the party with d co-speech.
The Leningrad organization would
never have sent delegates to oppose
themselves to the policy of the cen
trail committee. Instead of thrashing
out the differences of opinion inside
the central committee, opposition was
commenced in Leningrad. Bucharin
again and again withdrew his words
Enrich yourselves!" before the whole
party, he recognized publicly again
and again his error in this connection
and this slogan was disavowed by the
central committee.
Nevertheless, criticism is raised
again and again on this point, for a
few comrades are not so much in
terested in disavowing this slogan as
they are in discrediting Bucharin
They attempted to cruelty not only
the earlier members of the opposition
but also Bucharin. This will not be
successful. (Applause.)

Nevertheless, in his series of ar.

zinoviev made suggestions of this ma.

clared that equality was the idea
which occupied the people most of all

called together whenever it became
necessary to adjust disputes referred
to it.
In 1904 Roosevelt, president of the
United States, started move to call
another conference at the Hague for
the purpose of strengthening its pow
er, but the Russo-Japanese war and
the revolution Of 1906 kept the car
so busy that he could not aid the
paranoic president.
When the car was able to resume
his job of GEARING Roosevelt again APP
pealed to him and he called a confer
ence for 1907 Everything was pro-
ceeding nicely until it was discovered
that small nations would have a right
to select judges the same as larger
nations. 1t was apparent that the
large nations dominating the greater
number of smaller nations would con-
troll the court, so on that question the
conference deadlocked.

MOT daunted by the failure OF the
~ conference the delegates went
home and the Hague tribunal remain
ed merely a board of arbitration. They
all agreed to meet at some future time
at the call of that eminent lover Of
peace and democracy, the car of Rus
STA, at which time they hoped finally
to create the court.
But the next year, in 1908, the first
Balkan war threatened to inflame all
Europe. The Hague was impotent. In
1911 the second war covered all the
Balkan states and in 1914 came the
world conflagration in which all great
nations participating in the Hague
court were involved. Before the war
closed the people of Russia decided
they could do much better without the
car, so instead of permitting the
eminent pacifiist on the throne of Rus
STA to sacrifice the workers and peas
ants for the glory of the imperial
diadem, the masses sacrificed the car
and so the third Hague conference
was never called.

Trade Union Secretary Addresses Russian Congress

international Press Correspondence
MOSCOW, U. S. S. r., Dec. 23.-(By
Az Mail.)-In his address to the four
teenth congress of the Russian Com
munist Party, Comrade Tomsky, sec
rotary of the All-Russian Trade
Unions, pointed out:
AS a few members of the political
bureau declared at the party congress
that the politbureau of the central
committee had no firm political policy
all party members must understand
clearly how the differences of opinion
arose.
The first Misunderstanding arose
shortly after the endsof the last party
discussion against Trotskyism, in con-
sequsnce of varied attitudes to the
earlier opposition. Some comrades
were of the opinion that the party was
not so rich in forces that it should
prevent comrades who made mistakes
whichs were corrected by the party,
from returning to their normal work.
Others were of the opinion that the
members of the opposition should
not only be defeated, but also, so to
speak crucifed.
Nevertheless these differences of
opinion were not thrashed out inside
the politbureau, the majority of which
took the first standpoint, but against
this majority and against this first
point of view the Leningrad organ
ization and the Young Communist
League were modified in an irrespon-
sible fashion
OF course, we knew that the initi-
alive did not come from the Young
Communist League, but was pressed
upon it. Nevertheless We saw above
all to the maintenance of unity and
limited ourselves to calling the Lenin-
grad youth to order.
MTHEN the resolution upon peasant
w policy was worked out before the
14th party conference, no one said
that it contained concessions to the
Kulaks. The dispute in the central
committee concerned the question as
to whether socialism could be built
up in a country.

party and for lengthening the candI-
dature period. Tomsky regretted tha5
Kamenev and Zinoviev had mentioned
nothing about the role and the situa-
ton of the Communist Party in the
present historic circumstances, name
ly with the capitalist encirclement.
Tomsky pointed to the absurdity OF
the talk as tho someone wished to
push Zinoviev and Kamenev on one
side. The party leadership is not so
rich in forces that anyone could have
such insane ideas, the attempts of
Kamenev to represent the situation as
tho Stain was fighting for absolute
power, and that the majority of the
politbureau supported him in this,
were just as absurd.
Tomsky declared that real collective
leadership existed in the politbureau,
a system of absolute absolutism will
never be permitted there, this sys-
tenn can and will not exist. (Stormy
applause.)
Tomsky demanded that the critics
of the central committee should re-
main disciplined and work as COM
rades and he pointed out that Zinc
view and Kamenev had never put the
questions of the party leadership in
side the central committee which they
now put to the party congress. zino-
viav and Kamanav had navar roado
any concrete proposals for altera-
tions to the important proposals of the
central committee. The party can see
the difficulties, but the critics of the
central committee should not create
fresh difficulties thru their at
titude. They should recognize their
mistakes in time and respect the will
of the party. (Protracted and stormy
applause.)

labor, but he applied it to our epoch.
Under the existing circumstances,
desires for equality exist for instance
amongst the Kulaks who wish for an
equalization of their political right
with those of the workingclass, fur
Their amongst the working class itself
where the less qualified workers wish
for an equalization of wages with the
highly qualified workers.
1t is at least uncomradly to fling
such slogan before the public with
out having previously submitted it to
thoro consideration together with
the other members of the central com
mittee. &
The same refers to the question
flung up in the same manner by
Kamenev Of the participation of the
workers in the profits of their shops.
Quite apart from the fact that this
slogan even theoretically could only
come into operation for those shops
which have profits to show, and there
fore could only represent the wishes
of a section of the working class and
not of the whole, this slogan even as
a slogan for discussion, is false. KAN
enev today limits himself to the ex-
PLANTATION that he only touched in a
general way upon this slogan. He
fails to recognize, however, that each
such explanation has it's practical con-
sequences and he still believes that
he is at liberty to attack Bucharin
on account Of the error of the latter
which has been many times recog-
nized and many times withdrawn
C'Bnrich yourselves.") Tomsky point
ed out that Molotov's resolution on
the peasantry in the October plenum
was unanimously adopted and that
Kamenev and zinoviev had proposed
no alterations whatever. Tomsky then
asked who it was that underestimate
the significance of the Kulak and the
class struggle in the village, as the
critics of the central committee con-
tended.
TOMSKY pointed out that the other

ficulties in the present situation just
as well as the Leningrad comrades.
The Leningrad comrades are in error
when they believe that the party could
easier overcome the difficulties by ad-
hitting new great masses of the work.

Tomsky regretted that Krupskaya,
who was well aware OF Lenin's opin.
ions, had not mentioned his opinions
in this connection upon the compost
ton and the increase OF the member
ship of the party, at the party con-
gress. Tomsky quoted two letters OF
Lenin. The first written by Lenin to
Molotov in connection with a motion

committee in March, 1922 In this let
ter Lenin proposes to make the can
didate test period for entrance into

This company union was for whites

workers were left out. 1t started IN
1919 and died in 1921. There was the
customary house, consisting of the
workers, and a senate and cabinet
with executives. The cabinet, made
up of the president, vice-president and
directors of the firm, had full veto
power. In 1921 the management asked
for big wage reduction. The house
and senate agreed to 25 per cent.
And here the company union fell. The
management ordered a AZ per cent

ors, affiliated with the United Textile
Workers Union. In 1921, the union
says, only small reductions were made
by northern mills and the latter were
still paying twice what the Durham
firm paid before the cut. Finally the
Durham workers saw the need OF a
labor union, not another company
union, and last summer the Marvin
Carr plant Of Durham hosiery, its
biggest plant where full fashioned
hosiery Is made, was shut down by a
strike for union recognition. The
workers had been averaging only $40
week and they were amazed at
strike relief of $40 a week each. The
strike was won but the company
violated its agreement and another
strike is in effect.
