specializing on small group of old
members now in the opposition, even
in this question as in all others, OPP
crates with data deliberately untrue.
The Society of Old Bolsheyiks con-
siders absolutely normal and natural
that different viewpoints on shades Of
opinion on separate political or eco
nomic organization questions are ex-
pressed. provided they don't collide
with the fundamental principles and
standards of the Party.
An Emphatic Protest.
1t is therefore impossible to abb
stain from making most emphatic
protest against such declarations and
actions particularly in the Society Of
Old Bolsheviks. Therefore the bureau
of the Society of Old Bolsheviks
bearing in mind that summer time
vacations render it impossible to
convene a general meeting suffi-
GENTLY complete, has found it neces-
sary to appeal Immediately to all
members of the society inviting them
to resist most decidedly the disorgan-
izing activities of the opposition
which have gone beyond all limits.
Therefore the bureau of the old Boil
sheyiks considers absolutely inadmfs-
Sible and hitherto unheard of that
members of the party and particu-
larly responsible members of a party
leading an enormous country, the
first socialist republic in history, now
under furious bombardment by the
united reaction of the whole world,
that such members should permit
themselves to stamp in the mud the
prestige of our central organs by de-
claring that the party is dsgenerat-
ing and that it's central organs are
conducting a treachery policy and
that in case of war the workers
should ask reasons, etc.
Party Foes Rejoice.
What results can flow from this
kind of opposition? Firstly, all
vacillating and unstable elements in
the party, also all open and secret
toes of our party up to sworn coun-
/ ter rey0lutionarles will form support
to the opposition and sustain 1T, such
being the logic of the situation. All
such elements will rush into breach
created by the party opposition, pro-
noting their AIMS and annihilating
the dictatorship of the proletariat.
/ Secondly, undoubtedly from whole
tone and character Of the opposition
! declarations, the question OF substi-
tuting for our leading comrades mem
bers of the opposition, because if our
central organs, the comintern, central
/ committee Of the Party, and the cen
trail control commission, conduct a
treacherous policy, if the Party is
degenerating, the conclusion follows
that our leading comrades must cede
their places to the opposition not
withstanding the full confidence en-
I joyed by our leading organs in the
Party. For this reason we consider
it imperative that all members or otr
society now as in former years, when

rades or groups should strongly re-
sist the attempts Of the opposition to
wage struggle against the true I'M
falsified Lenin line.
No Mass Support.
In view of the dangerous position
in which the Party may be placed by
comparatively insignificant group
uniting diverse and most contradic-
tory tendencies and having no sup
port among party or working masses,
but supported only by unstable ele-
ments, their social composition not
reflecting proletarian nature of our
1 Party, we consider it timely to make
an end of this outrageous conduct
from the viewpoint of the interests
of the Party and world revolution &C.
