Mrs. Bowers and Floyd were tax

WELCOME. Texas Wholesale Fruit

Vegetable Dealers Association.
1t is meet and proper that you
hould meet in the Lower Rio
crande Valley.
Because it's the country tina,
produces much of that which you
sell during the winter and early
spring months.
Nearly $1,000 carloads OF such pro.
ducts were shipped out of the Val
ley during the season Of f926-1927
A large part of that tremendous
quantity of fruits and fresh veg.
etables was passed to the public
through your hands.
The Valley appreciates your ac-
ceptance of Brownsville's invitation
TO meet here this year
Fact of the matter is, the Valley
believes you should meet among US
each year.
In that way the Valley can come
to know your problems; and you
can come to know the Valley prob
lens.
The Valley is glad you are here.

the opposition? 1t consists of the
fact that by enacting extensive in
ternal democracy, the Party firmly
prohisits the existence of any kind of
factions. Here is what the decisions
of the Tenth Party Congress, written
by Lenin, and which calls forth such
on the part of the Trot-
skyist opposition about the regime,
says:
The Congress prescribes the i'm
mediate dissolution of all groups,
without exception, which have been
formed around various platforms,
and authorizes all organizations to
follow closely and see to it that
there should be no fractional ac-
tivity. The infringement of this
Congress decision entails the uncon-
ditiOnal and immediate expulsion
from the Party.
''In order to realize strict dis
cipline within the Party, and in all
Soviet activity, and to attain the

highest unity by liquidating all fac
tiOnalism, the Congress authorizes
the Central Committee to apply in
all cases of violation of discipline
or degeneration, or admission of
factionalism, all measures of party
punishment, even to the extent of
expulsion, and in respect to mem
bers of the Central Committee, re-
ducing them from membership to
candidacy, and as an extreme
measure, even EXPULSION FROM
FROM THE PARTY" pages 6.
and Z from the Unity Resolution, e
Russian Edition..
The Trotskyist faction wanted in
1928 the abolition precisely of this de-
cision of the Tenth Congress. 1t in
sisted on an amendment to the Draft
Resolution of the Political Bureau, to
permit factions and groups" within
the Party.
Why does the Party side with Lenin

admissibility of factions within the
Party which is guiding the Proletariar
Dictatorship in the Union of Socialist
Soviet Republics? An answer to this
question is given by the same Unity
Resolution of the Tenth Congress
written by Lenin, which says:
at is necessary that all conscious
workers should clearly realize the
harm and inadmissibility of any
kind of factionalism, which in
evitably leads to the weakening of
our joint work and to more vigor-
Gus repeated attempts ON THE
PART OF THOSE ENEMIES

ING PARTY UNDER FALSE
COLORS to deepen the division and
to utilize it for COUNTER-R EVO-
LUTIONARY PURPOSES.

T1ONARY DICTATORSHIP, thus

Factionalism in the ruling party en-
dangers the proletarian dictatorship.
Not so very long ago, Kamenev and
Zinoviev, the present followers of
Trotsky, understood this perfectly
well. Factions within the Communist
