FROM c. z. C. OF ALL UNION COMMUNIST PARTY

lions only as a means Of masking
preparations for a new attack on the
Party.
Although the Fifteenth Party Con-
gress whose decisions have been APP
proved by the Executive Committee
Of the Communist International en-
phatically condemned the Opposition's
line as a social democratic deviation
as right deviation masked by left
phraseology, although the Opposition
was not backed by a single Party
nucleus, it persisted in defending its
anti-Bolshevist work and did not cease
its fractional work.
Recently a combination of special
difficulties in the Soviet Union and
the international situation and partial
defeats Of the Chinese revolution have
led the Opposition to concentrate its
attack against the Party's interna-
tional policy (China, Brittany.
I'm response to the growing danger
of a war against the Soviet Union, the
Opposition has made statements which
have directly undermined the Party's
work in the mobilization of the masses
for the struggle against the danger
Of war and. the strengthening Of the
Soviet Union.
"Such a statement as that made by
the Opposition, headed by Trotsky and
Zinoviev, namely "if the war actually
reaches us, every worker and every
agricultural laborer, even the poorest
peasant will raise the question: what
war is this, by what means will the
war be conducted ?"
"Such a statement as Trotskys at
the recent session Of the Executive
Committee of the Communist Interna-
tional: "The greatest of all dangers
is the Party regime" are direct actions
on the part of the opposition leaders
against the Party and the dictatorship
Of the Proletariat.
Menshevik Attacks.
"The left pseudo-radical phrases,
with which Trotzky vainly attempted
to mask at the plenary session Of the
executive committee of the Communist
international his menshevist attacks,
we're a device on Trotsky's part as the
executive committee pointed out in its
decision, a means to mask in the eyes
Of Communist workers his own deser-
ton"
"Trotsky's speech at session exec
utive comintern which the latter char
acterized as anti-party and a gross
fractional action, and Zinoviev's speech
at the ninth of May, 1927, at nonpar-
tisan meeting containing an appeal to
nonpartizans against Party broke all
traditions of Bolshevist Party and ele-
mentary party discipline.
Finally at the session of the Praes-
idium of the Central Controlling Com
mission Trotsky produced unpyece-
dented calumniatory charges Of Bona
partisan in the Party.
Although the question regarding the
disorganizational action Of Znoviev
was submitted by the Central Com
mittee of the Party for the consider
alton of the Central Controlling Com
mission, although the Executive Com
mittee Of the Comintern condemned
Trotzky's speech as openly fractional,
Trotsky and Zinoviev at the ninth Of
June, 1927, at the time of the worst
attacks Of British Imperialism against
the U. S. S. R. participated in a dem
onstration organized at station by OPP
position on the pretext of sending off
Smigla.
"At a moment when England was
openly preparing for war with the
rupture Of Anglo-Soviet relations and
Voikoff's murder as clear evidence
that imperialists were passing to ter
roristic methods in the struggle
against U. S. S. Ra, Trotsky made a
speech to demonstrators, in which, to-
gether with other members Of the OPP
position, called through fractional APP
paratus, the public which happened to
