Maslov evidently could only have
received this information from Trot-

acquainted with this evidence on the

though it was forbidden for the time
being to take copies, they evidently
tried to send it to Maslov.
But to give out such information
for publication means forewarnlng

a thing permissible for Communists ?

III. Lenin on Oppositions.


rOMRADE Zinoviev also tried to
" prove that Lenin was at all times
in favor of discussion and referred to
the discussion on programs prior to
and during the Tenth Congress. But
he forgot what Lenin said in the
same resolution about dissolving all
groupings, about not permitting any
opposition whatsoever in the future,
and that Lenin considered it imper-
missable to turn our Party into "de-
batting society"
Lenin furthermore stated that we
had allowed ourselves too much of a
luxury in the discussion at the Tenth
Congress, and that it had been a great
error. He also said that definite
end must be put to Oppositions.
". Anti-SOviet Elements.
NEXT we come to the question as to
~ why it was necessary for Comrade
Menzhinsky to make statement on the
white guards, with whom some of the
workers" in Trotsky's illegal anti
Party printing press are connected.
This is in the first place necessary
in order to refute the falsehoods
spread by the Opposition on this ques-
ton. They assure everyone that the
whole case is pure invention, in order
to besmirch the Opposition, but the
facts given by Comrade Menzhinsky
leave no doubt that section of the
collaborators 7on Trotsky's illegal
press was connected with counter
revolutionary elements.
The report was also necessary in
order to denounce the false state
ments in the Berlin organ of the rene
gade Maslow. This dirty rag ISLANDERS

vi. Leninism To Trotskyism.

| AS ACAtAiASuI ~ 11OSohy AoAte
TOMRADE Zinoviev talked about the
"errors" in Party policy during the
last two years and the CORRECTNESS"
of the Opposition policy. Now
would like to say few words to ex-
plain the reason of the bankruptcy of
the Opposition policy and the correct
ness of our Party's policy during the
last two years.
The main cause of the bankruptcy
of the Opposition is that it has al
ways tried to replace Leninism by
Trotskyism.
The Opposition cannot explain
away" its failures by mere personal
factors, such as the roughness of
Stain or stubbornness of Bukharin
and Rykov.
In 1904, 1917, and on many other
occasions Trotsky has suffered severe
defeat at the hands of Lenin's party,
including the incidents of 1918 on the
question of the Brest peace, and in
1921 on the trade union question,
when Trotsky made "grandiose" sal
| lies against Lenin and his Party.
They all ended in Trotsky's defeat.
But could this be put down to the
roughness of Stain? In fact, he was
not even secretary at the time.
1t is obvious that TrOtsky's fight
against the feminist party has much
deeper historical roots, that it is a
continuation of the struggle conduct
ed by the Party against Trotskyism
under Lenin's leadership ever since
1904.
Our Party has been born and bred
in stormy revolutionary events. 1t is
| just for this reason that it is free of
empty hero worship for leaders.
| Plekhanov was at one time the most
popular man in the Party. He was,
in fact, the founder of the Party, and
his popularity could not be compared
with that of Trotsky or Zinoviev, but
the Party nevertheless turned away
from him Immediately he forsook
Marxism and became an opportunist.
Is it surprising, then, that such
great" people as Trotsky and Zinc
view find themselves at the tail of the
Party once they have begun to for
sake Leninism?
But the clearest proof of the oppor-
tunist degeneration of the Opposition,
of its bankruptcy and decline is that
it voted against the Jubilee Manifesto
of the Central Executive Committee
of the Soviets. While the entire work
ing class of the Union of Socialist
Soviet Republics and the foremost
workers of all countries have met this
manifesto with exultation and ap-
| plauded the idea of the seven-hour
working day.
The Opposition votes against it in
common chorus with bourgeois and
Menshevik critics.

Xmas Spirit Hits Bow
cry in Subtle Guise
of Pauperism
By EDWARD ]. BRUEN.


The Christmas spirit has hit the
Bowery?
Maybe you can't see it when look
ing at the cosmos of the old street
from viewpoint of worker who
knows his proper place in the sunlight
of self-respect.
The fact is that the spirit has ar
rived through the channels of the
same old capitalism that pauperizes,
and then issues aims through alleged
religious sources.
Work Sucker Lists.
The mission officials, no matter
whether they call themselves super
intendents, secretaries, captains or
what, have been working their old
Sucker lists" to the limit, and to
help out they have been and are
throwing those who come to them for
salvation and food, bed here, a meal
there or a cast-off garment some
where else. And the poor suckers at
the receiving end are supposed to be
overcome with gratitude, or else be
decried as ungrateful.
It's the old game of getting the
workers weakened physically for want
of food, and then they are ready to
work for any price to get away from
the mean, fawning, hypocritical group
of grafters into which they have
fallen.
Afternoon Teas.
At this writing one of the missions
"along the stem" is specializing in
afternoon teas for the derelicts. Two
hours is consumed in this manner,
committees of sucker capitalist repre-
sentatives-male and female-sitting
on the platform and reminding each
other of chow lovely it is"
Another mission is broadcasting
the story of it's redeemed souls" every
week for the satisfaction of the peo-
pie UPTOWN who are paying their good
money to redeem EN-.
Still another mission is giving out
more generous share of meal tic
kets-10 cents a meal-and making
sure that the fact reaches sympa-
thetic newspaper every evening.
All this stuff helps b ing in the
dough" to the missioners, and as
long as their allies, the death dealing
drink shops remain on the job, all's
fair for capitalism along the old
Bowery. If you want further infor-
nation pay visit to any of the So
called labor agencies "on the STEM"
Young and. vigorous men are ship
ping out to call sort of railroad and
similar jobs at wages that should
shame their manhood, even if they
have had a substantial dose of Bowery
booze and salvation.
Cheap wages, poison booze, saliva
tion, charity, pauperism,-the Christ

deavoring to use it's fractional work
for their own ends.
This confirms the forecast of this
made by Lenin at the Tenth Congress.
V. How Opposition Prepares"
THEN Comrade Zinoviev and Trotsky
let off a lot of steam here about
our preparing for the Congress by
means of repressions.
They seem to have completely
missed the fact that more than a
month prior to the Congress the
Plenum of the Central Committee de-
cided on an open discussion and that
an uninterrupted discussion has been
continuing in all Party organizations
for already three or four months.
Furthermore, the verbatim reports
and decisions of all Plenums during
the last six months on all questions
of internal and foreign policy have
been thoroughly discussed.
Whose fault if the Party organiza-
tons have not supported the OPPOSE
ton in these discussions?
Meanwhile, the Opposition prepares
for the Congress with illegal printing
presses and meetings, by giving false
information about the Party to the
imperialists of all countries, by disor-
ganizing and splitting our Party! And
when the Party takes decisive steps
against the disorganizers and split
tiers, even to the extent of expelling
them, the Opposition yaps about ere
preston"
Why, in 1922 Lenin wanted to expel
from the Central Committee Comrade
Shliapnikov, not for organizing anti
Party printing presses or an alliance
with bourgeois intellectuals, but
merely because Shliapnikov criticized
decision of the Supreme Economic
Council at a Party meeting.
We have only to compare Lenin's
attitude with what the Party is now
doing to the Opposition and you will
realize what leniency we have shown
to the disorganizers and, splitters.
posed expelling Kameneff and Elmo
view from the Party merely for criti-
cizing an unpublished Party decision
in semi-bourgeois paper. Yet how
many secret decisions of the Central
Committee is the Opposition now
publishing in MaslOv's cOunter-revo-
lutionary anti-SOviet paper in Berlin?
We have shown endless patience,
comrades, but this cannot go on for
ever AS to the talk about arrests and
explosions from the Party, we will 90
on arresting disorganizers who con-
duct anti-Soviet work.
At the last Plenum I was accused
of too soft an attitude towards Trot-
sky and Zinoviev. But after all we
have witnessed these last three
months, and after the Opposition has
broken it's special" promise made last
August to liquidate its fraction, there
is no room left for softness.
