The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-12-06

of the Fifteenth Congress of the
Communist Party of the Soviet
Union now being held here.
The discussion was opened by Ug-
lanov, secretary of the Moscow organ
ization who declared that during the
last two years antagonisms have
grown graver between the U. S. 5. Il.
and the capitalist countries OF the
world" This bellies the allegation, he
said, that the world bourgeoisle con-
siders that the Soviet Union is de-
generating and adapting the inter-
ests of the November Revolution to
the interests IF the capitalist coun-
tries.
Solidarity Develops.
"The Opposition accuses US,
said Uglanov, "of bringing spirit
of limited nationalism into .Lenin s 5
theory regarding the possibility OIL
building socialism in only one coun-
try. However, the Opposition appar-
emily forgets about the development
of tn. spirit of international class
solidarity"
Referring to the struggle in other
countries, the speaker said: "ls not
the support we rendered to the Brit
ish miners and the Chinese Revolu-
ton an example of international SOL
idarity? The doubts expressed by
the Opposition at the Fourteenth
Congress regarding the building OF
socialism denies even the validity of
the proletarian dictatorship.
Parting of Ways.
Uglanov declared that the only
paths left to the Opposition is either
to capitulate entirely or to pursue its
activities directed against the Com
munist Party of the Soviet Union in
full cooperation with the social-demo-
Gratis.
"Leaders of the Opposition" he
said "stated they were against the ere
alton of another party and against
any split whatever. That these dec
larations of the Opposition are in
sincere is shown by its Bulletin n in
December in which the Opposition
still persisted in its hostile attitude
toward the Communist Party.
"The Opposition" Uglanov con-
cluded, "can remain in the Commun-
ist Party only on condition that they
completely and sincerely capitulate." :"
Improver Technique.
Prior to the address by Uglanov
the congress heard the report of
Kursky regarding the work of the
Auditing Commission especially re-
garding its work on the improvement
and simplification methods and the
work and apparatus of the Central
Committee.
Kaganovitch, of the Ukraine, de-
clared that the Central Committee of
the Communist Party is in a position
to record enormous successes in all
fields of work. "Since the Four
teenth Party Congress" he said "the
Party has succeeded in profiting by
the contradictions between capitalist
countries, defer the outbreak of
new war, and at the same time en-
hance its prestige with the broad
masses of the workers in the capit-
alist countries"
Kaganovitch said that never before
have the Communist Parties of the
world been so united and so cohesive.
Turning to the danger Of war
against the Soviet Union, the speaker
said that the defensive capacity of
the country was one of the most i'm
portant questions before the workers.
"The workers." he said, "must be 80
educated as to be at any moment
ready to repel an attack against the
Soviet Union. The Opposition's as
sertion that an economic crisis in the
Soviet Union is inevitable has been
completely refuted. Industry, and
particularly the heavy industries, are
rapidly developing"
10000 Want to Join.
The best proof of the correctness
Of the political line of the Central
Committee is, he said, the fact that
10000 applications for affiliation in
the Communist Party of the Soviet
Union has been received from work
ers as q result of the October call.
This fact" said Kaganovitch, "is
the best refutation against the cal
umnics of the Opposition against the
Communist Party leadership. The
0pprs';i0n's declarations regarding
the cessation of activities against the
Party certainly will be insincere.
Such declarations would be but a
manoevre Of the Opposition in order
to further remain within the Party
and he IN a position to carly on their
disruptive work within the organiza-
tion.
Workers Judge Opposition.
Comrade Jadnov, delegate from
Nijny Novgorod, said that the best
proof of the correctness of the Cen
tral Committee policy is the growing
activity among the proletarian
