moscow, U. S. S. r., Dec. 25.-(By
A'A Mail. THE closing speech of
Comrade Molotov, organizing secre-
tary of the Russian Communist Party,
in the discussion at the Fourteenth
Congress on the organizational report
Of the central committee, dealt first
Of all with the general questions I'M
der discussion at the party. congress.
He declared that the opposition had
represented no united and particular
ly no political line. 1t had also made
no attempt to put forward corrections
as a whloe of the mistakes of the par
ty line.
The speaker made a polemic in
particular against the attempt to in
hate individual petty mistakes of
young comrades for the purpose of
compromising the whole political line
Of the central committee, as this had
been done by the opposition in order
to cover its own degressions from the
standpoint of Lenin. Comrade Zinc
view himself had said nothing con
crete upon the present tasks of our
policy and upon the new relations of
class forces when characterizing the
present, epoch as "an epoch of great
CONSERVATION.
KAMENEV at least attempted to
systematic his opinions. but in
this he betrayed clearly his degrees
sions from the correct party line for
which he himself is in favor. Sokol-
nikoy developed his oppositional opin-
ions still further until he openly left
the basis of Leninism, or is perhaps
the opinion which demands the aboli-
ton in the village by municipal shops,
merce, or the replacement of co-opera-
ton in the village bymunicipal shops.
not rather too free Interpretation
of the feminist opinions upon the
present policy. Krupskaya certainly
does not share these opinions. From
this it can be seen how heterogeneous
the composition of the opposition is.
THE speaker then dealt especially
L with the question of our policy in
the village. The October plenum of
the central committee announced the
necessity of the struggle against two
digressions, on the one side against
the underestimation of the N. b. p.
for the development of the Soviet
state am on the other side against
the unSerestimation of the negative
side of the N. e. P. Stain declared
that Of the two digressions, the digres-
sion. Understanding the Kulak dan
ger and the depression underestimate
ing the role of the middle peasantrv.
the second depression demanded chief
attention.
Naturally with this the party in no
way underestimate the dangers of the
N. Il. p. Nevertheless the comrades
Of the opposition make no new pro-
posals, also not for the struggle
against these dangers, that is. if one
does not count the proposal Of sokol-
nikov to abolish the monopoly of
foreign commerce.
The chief question of the party
policy in the village at the present
time Is without doubt the organiza-
ton and unifcation Of the village
poor and the middle peasantry around
the party. Up to the present we have
fulfilled these tasks only very weakly.
But when Zinoviey says that Of recent
years we have alienated the village
poor he is incorrect.
The decisions Of the 18th party con-
ference have brought a betterment Of
the political situation in the village.
We can. however, up to the present.
not regard the village poor as organ
lied around our party.
The October plenum OF the central
committee recognized this fact and
decided to develop this work still
further under new conditions. We
accomplished rather much in the or
Of the land workers. and in
his the trade union of the land and
'orest workers, supported by the par.
y, played a prominent part. Because.
however, we wish to begin the worki
