pect to the problems which I have
touched upon here. And this although
1 questioned Comrade Trotzky most
urgently, in my speech, to deal with
the most important questions con-
corning the preparations being made
for war.
During the imperialist war Com
rade Trotzky was opposed to the de-
feat slogans he conscious, or is he
not conscious, of the error committed
by him in the years between 1914 and
1917? Is he conscious of having been
in error in rejecting the defeat slog-
an of "the conversion of imperialist
war into civil war;" Is he conscious
of this, or does he acknowledge being
in the wrong in advancing the peace
slogan as our central slogan?
In asking these questions l am not
referring to past times. We are con-
cerned with burning questions of the
moment. 1t is an open secret that
we are moving rapidly towards an
epoch which will put an end to our
"pause for BREATH" and are entering
on a period involving wars and at
tacks upon the Soviet Union. We do
not know when the storm will break
over our heads, but we know that it
is approaching, dark and threaten
ing. And now consider carefully! If
we take this estimate of our situation
seriously, then we must be ideologi-
cally prepared for it; fully prepared
for it, prepared one hundred per cent.
Is it possible to take it less serious
ly? 1t is only right to speak of one
hundred per cent. We are not deal
ing with a mere bagatelle; we have
to adopt either one definite stand
point, or another; we have to adopt
one central slogan, or another. Our
decision is of immediate practical i'm
portance, and not merely of practical
Importance for some secondary mat
ter, but for q question of principle,
laying down the actual line of orien-
tation for our Communist Parties.
Have such problems as that of "de-
featism," of the peace slogan, of civil
war, etc, lost anything of their
acuteness? Can we simply pass them
by?
Does not the most elementary poll
tical conscientiousness demand that
Comrade Trotzky either acknowledge
that he has been in error in these
cardinal questions, or that he is in
open opposition to Lenin? Is it so
difficult to understand that an at
tempt to avoid this question at the
present time would show utter lack
of principle? ,

that the two institutions exchange material to the
