THE VIII Plenum of the ECCI which met in May
this year, on the question of the action Of the
Opposition passed a resolution which ''categorcaly
prohibits comrades Trotsky and Vuyovtch from
tinung their fractional struggle" and which Sin
structs the Presidium of the ECCI in conjunction
with the international Control Commission formally
to expel Comrades Trotsky and Vuyovtch from the
ECCI if this struggle will not CEASES The facts
which have occurred since the Plenum held in May
have shown that the warnings given to Comrades
Trotsky and Vuyovitch were UNDECIDED and that the
opposition retaliated to the categorical prohibition
Of the fractional struggle by intensfying it to an
unparalleled degree, by broad attack upon the
CPSU and the Comintern, by fresh attempts to dis
rupt the unity of the feminist ranks, both in the
U. S. S. r. and throughout the world.
Called to account at the August Plenum of the
Central Committee and Central Control Committee
of the CPSU (b), the opposition once again, as in
it's declaration of the 18th of October 1895 soemnly
undertook to cease factional, underground work
against the Party. This undertaking was given under
the direct threat of the expulsion of the leaders Of
the opposition Comrades Trotsky and Znoviev from
the Central Committee of the CPSU (b). But, only
a very few days later the August undertaking met
with the same fate as the declaration Of the 10th
of October The opposition in the most contemptuous
manner violated the promise it gave to the whole
Party and the whole of the International, and by
this made the continuation of Trotsky and Zinoviev

Notwithstanding the undertaking it gave to the

to form its organizational centres, which in fact
represent nothing less than an attempt 10
form embryonic nuclei of Second Trotskyist Party
parallel with the feminist Party, parallel with the
CPSU (b). At the same time it continued to main
tain and strengthen it's connections with the various
renegade groups abroad with the Maslow-Fischer
group in Germany, with Souvarine in France, etc
The splitting work in the CPSU was supplemented
by splitting work in the Comintern The menace of
the formation of second party OUTSIDE OF AND

ten yards around his end and

of the Stanford line on the play
