FIRST M|KADO ENGINE
 SEWARD MAN WILL DRIVE

Ten f1atcars will be required to transport to Anchorage hte two Mika- do engines received Saturday on the freighter Panama.
 Once the engines are assembled and put into commission they will be capa- ble of hauling twenty full carloads over the Alaska Railroad in either di- rection.
 The first engine to be put into com mission will take the Seward-Anchor- age run with John Rosness, now pull ing the throttle on freight, as en- gineer.
 The addition of these two engines will make possible the economic haul age of coal from the Matanuska fields to Seward, in the opinion of railroad officials whose business it is to deal with such matters as traction.
 At the present time there is suffi- cient rolling stock on the railroad to handle any quantity of freight which might accrue from coal transporta- tion even up to 1000 tons per day. Should such a contract as is said to have been offered in San Francisco to Matanuska field miners actually be consummated, it would be necessary to add materially to the present equipment in the way of coal cars, say reports from headquarters which are now considering all questions in con- nection with handling large tonnage if coal export becomes reality, which appears certain.

ty? Where are it's social roots? The
social roots of the opposition lie hid
den in the ruin of the petty-bourgeois
in the town under the given circum-
stances of development, in the dis
satisfaction of these sections with the
regime of the proletariat, in their eff
forts to alter this regime and to Sim
prove" it in the spirit of the bour-
geois democracy. 1 have already
pointed out how the petty bourgeoisie,
and in particular the urban bour-
geoisie, is being ruined in consequence
of our progress, in consequence of the
growth of our industry and the
growth of the relative strength OF
the socialist economic forms. The op-
position is the reflection Of the dis
satisfaction and the grumbling OF
these sections with the regime of the
proletarian revolution.
The results of this experience
were represented some time ago by
Comrade Kamenev in a special pam
phlet issued under the title 1.-TWO Par
ties" I do not doubt but that this
pamphlet was of great assistance for
all those comrades who still had il
lusions about cooperation with Trot-
sky. And now want to ask, wouldn't
Comrade Kamenev write another pam
phlet today dealing with the results
Of his cooperation with Trotsky?
What is to happen with the oppo-
sition? 1t is said that the opposition
intends to lay q declaration before
the congress to the effect that it is
prepared to subordinate itself to all
the decisions of the Party and dis
solve it's fraction, but at the same
time it will continue to propagate its
opinions within the limits allowed by
the Party statutes. / am Of the opin-
ION that no good can come of this.
We have already had some expert
cnce in this matter with the two de-
clarations of the opposition of the
10Th of October 1926 and of the 9Th
of August 1927 respectively. What
has this experience taught US? The
results of this experience were very
negative. 1t led to double decep-
ton of the Party and to a weakening
of Party discipline. What right has
the opposition to demand that we be-
lieve it third time, after having had
such an experience? 1t is said that
the opposition will also demand the
readmission of those expelled from
the Party. am of the opinion that
this is impossible comrades. PRO

O1e possibility OF block and even an
alliance with the national bourgeoisle
in the colonial countries when they
carried on struggle against i'm
perialism and refrained from prevent
ing the Communists educating the
workers and poor peasants in the
spirit of Communism. The opposition
has broken definitely with this
opinion of Lenin and sunk to the level
of the Second International which
denies the desirability and necessity
Of supporting revolutionary wars OF
colonial peoples against imperialism.
This is the explanation for all the
wrong conclusions drawn by the OPP
position in the question of the Chi
nese revolution.
The sixth point is the question of
the united front tactic in the interna-
tional working class movement. The
opposition has broken with the Lenin-
ist tactic in the question of gradually
winning the millions of the workers
for Communism. The opposition flatly
denies this tactic of gradualness. For
time the opposition welcomed every
form of understanding as zone of the
most serious guarantees for peace"
but after it was disappointed in its
hopes of finishing off reformism like
this, it rejected the idea of the united
The seventh point is the question of
the feminist character, of the feminist
unity of the C. P. of the U. S. S. R.
and the Communist International. In
this respect the opposition has defin-
itely broken with the organizational
principles of Leninism and adopted
the policy of the organization of a
second party and a new international.
These are the seven points and they
all show that the opposition has slid
down the steep path of menshevism.
Can we regard these menshevist
opinions of the opposition as re-
concilable with the theology of our
party, with it's program, with it's tao
tics and the tactics of the Comintern
and with the organizational principles
of Leninism Decidedly no! Not for
one moment!

opposition to build itself in our Par

ARTICLE VII.
BY ROBERT MITCHELL

The vicious spy system which the
traction interests have established
will stop at nothing in order to ac-
complish its ends. Not content with
perjury, misrepresentation and the
open commission of petty crimes, it
finally resorts to the frame up"
During the course of the threatened
strike on the traction lines last sum-
mer, the PETERBOROUGH discharged a
motorman named William Stack who
was charged with being active in or
ganizing work Under the so-called
agreement with the mayor by which
the strike was sidetracked, the Inter-
borough on July Goth was forced to
put Stack among several other motor
men back to work. Naturally, this
was not altogether to the liking to
the hard boiled traction masters.
Therefore, certain attempts were
made to get" some of these men. The

ing of socialism in one country alone,
means in fact nothing but capitula-
ton in face of the capitalist elements
in our country.
The second point. Despite all this
however, the opposition raises in all
it's declarations the question of the
dictatorship of the proletariat. The
opposition declares that a thermi-
dorian degeneration is taking place in
the Soviet Union. That however
means nothing if not that there is
not proletarian dictatorship in our
country. This opinion is based upon
the thesis of Trotzky upon Clemen-
ceau. Here also the opposition has
landed with the mensheviki.
The third point. That is the ques-
ton of the block of the workers and
the middle-peasants. The opposition
has constantly concealed the fact that
it is opposed in principle to any such
block. The platform and the counter
theses of the opposition are not so
much remarkable for what they say
as for that which they conceal from
the working class.
Fourthly, there is the question of
the character of our revolution. If
the possibility of the successful build
ing up of socialism in our country is
denied, if the existence of the Dictator
ship of the proletariat is denied, if
the necessity of block between the
working class and the Pleasantly is
denied, then what remains of our
revolution and its socialist character?
Nothing. The proletariat has con-
quered power and carried the bour-
geois revolution to its end, the peas
antry doesn't know what to do with
the revolution any more because it
already has possession of the land, the
proletariat can therefore retire and
make room for other classes. That is
the logical consequence of the opinions
of the opposition.
Fatherland Unacceptable.
The fifth point is the question of
the feminist attitude to the leader
ship of the revolution in the colonial
and semi-colonial countries. Lenin
commenced with the assumption that
difference exists between imperialist
countries and it's policy in oppressed
and colonial countries. Commencing
from this assumption Lenin said even
during the war chat the idea of the
defence of the Fatherland was abso-
lutely unacceptable for communism in
the countries of imperialism and
counter-revolutionary, but in the OPP
pressed countries carrying on war
against imperialism the same idea was
absolutely acceptable and justified. In
certain phase Of development and
for a certain period. Lenin admitted

Stain Answers Opposition

THE whole party and together with
it the working class has ruthlessly
isolated the opposition, because It's
leaders have showed themselves to be
a group of petty bourgeois intellec-
tuals cut off from life and from revo-
luton, from the working class and its
party. The opposition thinks moth
ing of our successes. l can name z
chief questions in which the differ
ences exist between the party and the
opposition.
Denies Possibility.
The first question is the question
of the possibility of building up So
cialism in our country. The opposi-
ton denies the possibility of building
up socialism successfully in our coun-
try. By this denial of this possibility
the opposition sinks to the level of
the mensheviki. This was the attitude
Of Zinoviev and Kamenev in 1917
when they refused to take part in the
October revolution. This was also
the attitude of Trotzky when he took
part in the insurrection for he said
directly that unless the victorious
proletarian revolution in the west did
not sooner or later come to the as
sistance of the Russian revolution,
then it would be absurd to assume
that revolutionary Russia could main
tain itself in the face of conservative
Europe.
Kamenev and Zinoviev driven into
the insurrection, Lenin drove them
forward by threatening them with ex-
pulsion from the party. Trotzky took
part in the insurrection, but with that
small reservation which even then
brought him close to Kamenev and
Zinoviev. In June 1917 Trotzky con-
sidered it desirable to reissue his old
pamphlet in Leningrad, "The Program
of Peace" In this pamphlet he po-
LENSES with Lenin concerning the
question of the possibility of the vic
tory of socialism in one country alone
and declares Lenin's views to be false.
Trotsky took part in the insurrec-
ton with the little reservation which
brought him even then near Kamenev
and Zinoviev. This little reservation
was the declaration that the prole-
tartan power as such represented
nothing in particular unless assist
ance came in time from abroad. Lenin
on the other hand organized the in
surrection without reservation and
declared that the proletarian power in
our country would serve as a basis
to assist the proletarians of the other
countries to win their freedom from
the yoke of the bourgeoisie.
Means Capitulation.
The attitude of the opposition in
the question of the socialist consrruc-
tive work in our country, its denial
of the possibility of victorious build
