more plain. In the meantime, how
ever, there may arise before the work
ers the following questions:
Let US suppose that the Exec
utive Committee of the All-Russian

clded, after months of discussion anC
by a majority of over 80 per cent,
that preparations must be made for
strike, but that nothing must be
made public regarding the time fixed
for the strike, or anything else. Let
US assume further that two members,
under the dishonest pretext of having
a separate opinion after the de-
cision, not only write to local groups
regarding a reconsideration of the de-
cision, but also have their letters pub
lished in the press not belonging to
the Party. Let us assume, finally,
that they themselves attack the de-
cision in this press, although the de-,
cision has not been made public, and
run down the strike in face of the
capitalists"
THE question now arises, shall the
workers hesitate to eXpel such strike
breakers from their midst?"
WITH regard to the question of re-
=" volt at the present moment, on the
eve of the goth of October, l cannot
judge from distance to what extent
the cause has been injured by the
strike-breaking proclamation in the
press not belonging to the Party. 1t
is beyond all question that great
practical damage has been DONE In
order to rectify the matter one must
above all set up the unity of the
Bolshevik front by the expulsion of
the strike breakers.
The weakness of the theological
arguments against the revolt will be
all the more striking when we drag
them into the light. A few days ago
sent an article on this subject to the
"Rabotchy Putt" and if the editor
does not consider it possible to pub
lish it, then the Party members will
probably become acquainted with its
contents from the Manuscript*).
These theological" (pardon the
word) arguments proceed along two
lines: First, on the expectation" of
the Constituent Assembly. Let us
wait bit, perhaps we shall be able to
hang on till then. That is the whole
argument. Perhaps we shall be able
to drag on with the hunger, with the
disorganization, with the exhausted
patience of the soldiers, with the
measures of Rodsjanko to go over to
the Germans (perhaps with lockouts)
Perhaps, perhaps; that is, luck and
chance, that is the whole strength of
the argument

Dad. The "pessimists" shout them
selves hoarse regarding the military
aspect of the matter, while the
"optimists" keep silent, for it would
be hardly agreeable to anybody but
strike breaker to disclose something
in face of Rodsiansko and Kerensky.
