COMMUNIST INTERNATIONAL STATES REASONS FOR
TROTSKY-vUYOvITCH EXPULSION FROM EXECUTIVE

lions of the Party fight in defense
of it's unity, who guard the element
ary principles of its discipline with
out which the Party and Comintern
as military organizations of the
working class exist, such an attitude
towards Party discipline is of course
connected with a definite attitude
towards the Party and the Commun-
ist international. Neither the Com
munist Party Of the U. S. S. r. nor
the Comintern as such figured in
Comrade Trotsky's speech as the SUI
preme organ of the revolutionary
proletariat.
Comintern Reviled.
"The world organization of the
revolutionary proletariat, namely the
Communist International and its
leading section, the Communist Par
ty of the U. S. S. R., is described
in unison with the whole yellow bour-
geois press as a crowd senselessly
and dumbly following various leaders.
At the present time said Com
rade Trotsky in his speech, mot
SINCE organization discusses or de-
cides. They merely carry out instruc-
tions. Even the presidium Of the
Comintern is no exception The OPP
position declaration made at the
August plenum against the Opposi-
ton abandoned its theory of the So
called 'Thermidor.'
"This, however, did not prevent
Comrade Trotsky from once again ut
tering venomous phrases such as
'Thermidor course, and 'Bonapartist
forgeries.' Moreover, leading bodies
of the Comintern and the Commun-
list Party of the U. S. S. R. were
directly charged with being 'usurp-
ers.'
Advocate Party Disruption.
The authority of the Presidium
of the Executive Committee Of the
Comintern,' said Comrade Trotsky,
lasts only one year. The arbitrary
prolongation of this authority is
usurpation. Above all questions
stands the question of the organiza-
tional self-preservation of the Stain
Bukharin group In this way is es-
timated the present acting leading
organs of the Communist movement;
in this way trying to explain their
open refusal to submit to Party dis
cipline. Comrades Trotsky and Vuyo-
witch have warned beforehand that
they will not regard the Fifteenth
Party Congress and the Sixth Con-
gress of the Comintern as in any
degree authoritative to them.
The apparatus declared Com
rade Trotsky, is now preparing a
congress of their own preliminary
appointed workers who must authors
ize upper stratum apparently to con-
duct this work in the future
"The Presidium of the Executive
Committee of the Comintern does not
regard it as necessary to deal again
in detail with the renegade political
arguments repeatedly condemned by
the Communist Party of the U. S. S.
R. and the Comintern as social-dem-
ocratic deviations which Comrades
Trotsky and Vuyovitch tried to devel-
op. But the Presidium of the Exec
utive Committee of the Comintern
cannot ignore the contemptuous ref
erences to the organizations Of the
Communist proletariat as voting
crowd, it cannot ignore the fact that
disrupting Party discipline is pro-
claimed as the highest virtue. 1t
cannot ignore the open justification
and the promise of further continu-
ance of the practice of organizing
secret anti-Party printing offices.
Further Membership Impossible.
"The Presidium of the Executive
Committee Of the Communist Inter-
national considers impossible the
further membership of Comrades
Trotsky and Vuyovitch on the Exec
utive which they proclaimed as usurp-
ers and against whom they conduct
rabid fights with the aid of renegade
papers abroad and secret printing Of
fees, the organization of illegal cen
tiers of malicious Islander in the U.
S. S. R."
