the central committee to create still
closer contact between the leadership
of the questions of politics and the
questions of economics.
Comrade Zinoviev presented a very
depressing picture of the situation in
respect to the incorrect estimation of
state capitalism and the disbelief in
the working class, etc. But the CO.
speech of Zinoviev brot still greater
proofs of pessimistic digressions.
The Leningrad organization suffers
from too good an opinion of itself
The central committee must create a
firmer leadership than previously,
then such errors will no longer be
made, then there will no longer be
any room for such plans like those
of Sokolnikov according to which our
industry should develop upon the ba-
sis of foreign industry. Our way is
that pointed out by Stain, we must
develop our economy upon the basis
of our own industry in order to secure
the firm proletarian foundation for
the Soviet power.

l. grad) defended himself against the
incorrect Interpretation of his demand
that the proletarization of the party

every extension of the N. E. P. means
the strengthening not only of the So
cialist elements, but also of the CAPT
talist elements in town and country.
Kamenev denied that the decisions Of
the fourteenth party conference upon
the facilitation of leasehold and agri-
cultural wage labor, would bring any
advantages for the broad masses Of
the middle and poor peasantry. He
considers these decisions, the correct
ness of which he does not deny, ex-
clusively as concessions to the Ku-
laks.
TN the dispute upon state capitalism
there appeared also an attempt to
idealize the N. E. P. We do not deny
the logical socialistic character of the
state industry, but this socialist char
acter consists in the specialization of
the means Of production, while the
labor conditions in these shops are
not yet socialistic. There are people
in the party who contend that our
state industry is completed socialism

back to Washington in time to prove
how much he thinks of the so-called
inalienable right of free speech by
voting to shut off further debate on
the world court and jam the thing
down the Threats of the opposing
senators.
While in Illinois the senator let it
be known that he was not averse to
debating the issue of the court, so
Smith, the Tribune candidate, took up
the challenge and wired Mckinley
that he was ready to debate. 1t seems
that the senator changed his mind and
retorted that Smith might debate with
himself and accused Smith of desert
ing the republican party's platform
declaration in favor of entering the
world court.
Smith, as state chairman of the re-
publican party in Illinois, will have
difficult time explaining how he hap
pened to support Coolidge in the last
presidential election when he knew
that the republican party stood for the
world court. But being a politician,
he does not permit a question of con-
sistency to interfere with his game.
Both Smith and Mckinley are ag-
ents OF the capitalists. Their roguery
is identical tho it may take different
forms. Their attitude toward labor is
that of open antagonism. Both Of
them are advocates of the "open"
(scab) shop. and either of them would
strive to crush the aspirations of
labor. Both of them also protested
to be Mortified at the recent political
scandals In Illinois, but both OF them
are anxious to get the support of the
identical Thompson-C rowe-Small hood
lie gang that left in its wake a trail Of
corruption such as would evoke the
envy of AL. Smith and Tammany Hall
in New York. (The difference being
that Tammany is less crude these
days and avoids being caught with
the goods).
Never has there been greater need
for party that will serve the inter-
ests OF the industrial workers and
farmers Such party in existence
at this time would sweep a number
OF the middle west states and send to
the senate representatives who would

betrayed similarly a tendency to IDEAL

nize the class struggle under the N.

There is no danger of doing away
with the N. E. p, but there is an

speaker made a polemic against the
opinion of Sokolnikov that our econ
omy contained no socialist elements
and that Bucharin had fallen into chill
dren's sickness. Lenin has already
pointed out that the transition of in
dustry from the hands of the capitalist
class into the hands Of the working
class brings with it all the conditions
for the building up of socialism. 1t was
not the "children's sickness" of Buch-
arin which was responsible for the
collapse of the fine economic and f.
nancial plans Of Sokolnikov. Sokolni-
kov wanted by means of our state
bank to regulate the financial market
Of the whole of Europe. Now that
economic hindrances have appeared,
and we have made mistakes in con
nection with the campaign for the
provision of cereals, Sokolnikov
blames it all onto Bucharin's chill
dren's sickness"
Why did Kamenev also protest
against the introduction Of Stain and

council for labor and defense. This

Mckinley PATCHES HIS POLITICAL FENCES

with the Coolidge administration, the
traction baron went direct to the
voters and tried to connect the agri-
cultural crisis with the propaganda
for the world court:
"There is a crying need at this
time for a foreign market for our
corn, or wheat and our hog prod,
ucts. Europe needs all the food we
can sell her. One hundred million
people in italy, Germany, England,
Austria and Hungary are living on
half rations. Why? Because work
ing conditions have never become
settled since the war. What will
settle them? An assurance of con-
tinued peace"
How utterly vile are these unscrup-
ulous old party politicians who take
advantage of the misery, the desola-
ton and poverty that capitalism has
brot to the agricultural regions of this
country!
While advocating entrance into the
world court so that the sons OF the
farmers as well as the workers may
be herded like beasts into military
camps to fight in order to defend and
extend the interests of the House of
Morgan, Mckinley, like his cohorts in
the senate, tell their deluded constitu-
ents that the court is an instrument OF
peace. He would further have the
farmers believe that the world court
will remedy conditions so that the
workers of Germany, England, Aus
tria and Hungary will not be impover-
ished, when the very condition OF the
existence of the court and the league
of nations depends upon the impover-
ishment Of ever larger numbers OF in
habitants OF the whole globe.
Mckinley and his outfit would have
the farmers. wait for settlement OF
their grievances until working condi-
tions In Europe have been improved
thru the establishment OF peace. Cor
sidering the lrreconcilable contradic-
lions existing in Europe and the i'm
possibility OF ever establishing peace
the farmers will have to wait forever,
according to McKinley's view OF the
situation. He, of course, cannot be
expected to perceive that the devasta-
ton In Europe cannot be overcome
within the confines of the capitalist
system.

membership should take place up to
80 per cent. One may not simply
permit the proportion of workers in
the party to be reduced by peasants
and employees.
Stain is incorrect when he consid-
ers the depression which underesti-
mates the significance of the middle
peasantry far more dangerous than
the digresison which underestimate
the danger of the Kulaks.
THEN spoke Larin. He pointed out
4 that the opinions of the opposi-
ton upon state capitalism have impor-
tant practical results. Sokolnikov
said that we must turn purely state
undertakings into private economic
undertakings and draw in foreign cap
ital. Lenin spoke of transformation
Of the private large and small bour-
geois undertakings into the form of
state capitalism. Lenin called us to
go forward, Sokolnikov, however,
backwards.
If one speaks therefore of purely
academic Interpretation of the N. E.
P. rearguard, this has the practical
conclusion that one must also speak
of an abolition Of the monopoly of
foreign trade.
To many also the question of the
possibility of "stoicism" in a coun-
try, seem purely theoretical. But
when Kamenev and Zinoviev stake
everything upon the international rev.
olution on account of the technical
backwardness of our industry and our
economic backwardness, that is to say
the petty bourgeois character Of our
country, is not that much worse than
the opinions Of the opposition in
1923? 1t is a question essentially Of
basic differences of opinion between
the minority and the majority, for in
stance in the question of the exist
ence of the Soviet power, upon the
task Of the N. E. p, and upon the
abolition of the monopoly of foreign
trade. We shall say that to the Len
ingrad workers, we shall propose to
them not to discuss upon the AGA
demic Foundations of the differences
of opinion, but upon their practical
results.
r OMBOV then received the floor.
~ He declared that the questions in
dispute would find their solution in
the practical work. The speaker
made a polemic against Sokolnikov
who had spoken for the development
of Kulak economy and against the de-
velopment of industry. The new cen
trail committee must receive instruc-
tions from the party congress that
everyone who makes mistakes must
be theoretically fought.
The next speaker Kirov spoke
against Sarkis and Sokolnikov and de-
manded that the Leningrad delegation
adopt the standpoint of the major
ity.
THE next speaker Shdanov defended
Bucharin as one of the best theo-
reticians of the party. The speaker
accused Zinoviev of regarding the n

the expression of a disbelief in the
forces of the working class, it was a

But Thompson has interests that
bind him to the campfef republican in

and knew that this was the long
night Of which he had spoken, and
that the people would not yet per
ish for there were yet two more
things to come to pass. And, after
a time, the sun appeared again and
all was as before. Thus the first
prophecy of Long Hair had come
true.
The Wolves
MANY SHOWS after this long night
the Crows were all encamped in Sc
veraI villages on the Big Horn,
Bitter Grass and Tongue rivers.
The winter vas severe. Presently
the Crows discovered that the
wolves were gathering around them
in such large numbers that they
marVelled and were afraid, for new
er before had our people seen so
many of these animals at one time.
They covered the country all around
the camps and began to attack the
horses and to devOur them. And,
when the Crows went out of their
lodges in the morning they found
the wolves swarming around their
doors and as tame as dogs. They
were compelled to keep their horses
tied near at hand, and then stand
by with clubs to beat off the wolves
but in spite of all that they could
do, the wolves were so numerous
thai they devOured nearly all the
horses in each of Our villages. But
few horses were left and we knew
that Long Hairs second prophecy
had come true"
The Third and Last Sign
The Spirit Voice then paused for
a few moments as if for reflection,
and then proceeded: "And then, my
Son, after many moons, the Crows
one day discovered an immense wa
gOn train, accompanied by nUmer-
Gus white people, men, women and
children crossing through their
country along the eastern slope Of
the mountains. Soon afterward an
other train was seen coming from
the southeast of the mountains. Then
1T was, too, boy, that the %'firebOats'
|thrOnged up the Missouri loaded
with white people. Presently gold
was discovered in Montana, and our
people found the country north and
west of them swarming with these
people of a new race.
Long Hairs final prophecy was
surely coming true.
1T was not possible, my Son, for
me to sit idly by with the grim pros
pect that my people would be forced
to starvation without a home, with
out food and driven from the land
we loved.
A Battle of Life and Death
Although our people hunted the
buffalo and other animals Of the
plains and mountains, and although
these supplied us with almost every
2 article of food, clothing and shelter
that we needed, the Crows never
, killed more than they needed. The

Sioux, and when 1 return, I shall

1.-THE youth then made a war
party and left the village. Good for
tune attended him, and shortly after,
upon the banks of the North Plate,
he surprised several lodges of the
Sioux and killed all that these con-
tanned with the exception of one boy
and a girl A little later he made a
second fOray into the enemy's ter
ritory and brought home another
captive lad. This success was at
tended by great wonder among the
Crows. And, presently, while the
people were busy singing his praises
the sign appeared which the boy had
said that the Great Spirit had prom
ised to him.
The Sign of the Great Spirit
up to this time, his hair had been
very short, so short that he could
scarcely be said to have any hair al
all. This was one of the things
which helped to make him a subject
Of ridicule. Now, suddenly, his hail
started to grow, and ere long i
reached his shoulders.
This he said, is the sign o.
which I told you, but it has only be
gun to grow
"The Crows wondered at this anC
began to have faith in the youth
medicine. In a short time his hal
reached his waist; then it hung t
his feet. Till then he had been called
by his people such names as Nah-ah

to join him, and with a numerous
party, he surprised the Piegan camp
near Three Buttes, and besides rOut-
ing them completely and taking many
of their scouts, ne secured the girl
he had sought to aid his mother.
This was the beginning Of Long
Hairs career as a war leader, and he
never failed to triumph over his enc
mics.
A Famous Medicine Man
Long Hair was equally famous
as a medicine man. Although he
would never tell his people of what
his charm consisted, he was, never
theless successful in accomplishing
whatever he attempted. One time
when a party of unknown enemies
drove off some Crow horses, Long
Hair gathered some of the earth
from a mole hill and with it formed
a circle on the ground in which he
piled a quantity of dry buffalo chips.
These he set afire. Placing his pipe
in his mouth, he swept the bowl in
a circular motion and then lighting
it at the magic pile took several
puffs and said, Now go in that di-
rection and you will find your enc
mics sitting down for I have charmed
them and they car go no farther un-
til our horses are secured The
Crows followed his directions and
located a band of Piegans sitting just
as. he had said. All of the horses
were secured and two of the enemy
killed.
"Long Hair once made a lodge
that was larger than any the Crows
had ever seen. The upper half was
painted red and the lower half al
ternate red ard white stripes two
feet wide and running to the ground
The two poles that held the smoke
wings were painted red except thai
part which touched the wings. A
the bottom of each of these poles was
placed a large bundle of sweet grass
and the whole lodge was scented Will
beaver bait. With this lodge he il
said to have performed many acti
of magic at which his people mar
yelled.
The Prophecy
"Now, MY Son, when Long Hail
had grown old and was about to g
to the Sand Hills, he made a pro
phecy to his people. He said:
There r three things that viii
come to pass. First there will com
a night longer than vas eve know
