MOSCOW, Aug. 23.-The press
continues to publish resolutions
adopted by many party organizations
in regard to the decisions Of the uni
ted plenum Of the central committee
of the All Union Communist Party in
regard to the inner party opposition.
All these resolutions approve the
decisions of the plenum and emphasize
the reprimand addressed to Trotzky
and Zinoviev. They declare it to be
the last warning to the opposition,
and the last attempt to help it re-
turn to feminist channel.
Workers Write.
Simultaneously there appear in the
different newspapers a whole series
of letters from different Communist
worknen, announcing their leaving
the opposition, and denouncing it's
disorganizational activity.
The Kharkov papers published for
example a letter from Fedor Yak
harov, a workman in the Kharkov
locomotive works, and until recently
member Of the opposition. The let
ter states among other things, that
the main factor which compelled him
to resign from the opposition is the
resolution of the last plenum of the
central committee and central con-
trolling commission, in which, instead
of expelling Zinoviev and Trotzky,
the plenum left them in the central
committee, combining itself to a re-
primand and appealing to all mem
bers of the opposition to renounce
their erroneous line.
Dislikes Fractionism.
Zakharov declares in his letter that
he was particularly indignant over
the action of certain Kharkov mem
bers who, declaring that they salute
the plenum's decision, still the next
day held fractionary meeting with
thirteen comrades present with whom
two men, expelled from the party also
met. Zakharov says: "This meeting
proved to me that the opposition is
against party unity"
Pravda emphasizes that nearly a
fortnight's discussion by the lower
party nuclei show as result the ex-
ceptional unity and firmness where
with the party, as one man, supports
the resolutions of the plenum.
Led to Ruin.
The local resolutions, says Pravda,
not only refer TO the last warning to
the opposition, but in accordance with
the entire line taken by the central
committee and the central control
ling commission contain appeals to
the rank and file Of the workmen in
the opposition who still continue to
follow their leaders who have failed,
TO bethink themselves and return to
the party's position.
The opposition led these partisans
of its thru blind alley to the very
edge Of the party.
They were already directly threat
ened with the prospect of becoming
tool in the hands of hostile class
powers alien to the proletariat, which
are waylaying the opposition around
the corner and calling it from the
ranks of the party.
Many workmcn in the opposition,
recognizing this danger, have already
left it.
Tries For Unity.
The party, has done everything pos
sible to turn the leaders of the OPP
position the party's way, and war
rant them a painless return to the
party. Now their future fate and
political life depend on the leaders
themselves.
The party will also do everything
to convince the last honest real work
man who is q member Of the party
following the opposition, that he
should stand as formerly shoulder to
shoulder, brotherly, in the Bolshevist
party Of Lenin. This is q most diff,
ficult moment and tremendous prob
lens are confronting the party, de-
handing united and unanimous work
undo. ths leadership Of tho central
eeniiaittoa. Theirs should DO 30 place
in the ranks OF tho party for rae
tioaal dissension and tho work Of the
opposition.
