lodge of E'ks at AlamQrio Park.
The arrival Of carload OF buck
ing horses. together with large
number of cowboys yesterday added
further assurance that the affair

ed crowd Of 10000 persons would
soon be Il reality.
Among the entrants in the rode0

up and catch up to the capitalist world pro-
vded that development is not interrupted by
the Intervention of the foreign imperialists. The
guarantees for this the advantages of the SOC
iast planned economy, which capitalism has not
and cannot have at it's disposal.
s. And finally the Preserve" which Comrade Trot-
zky displays in his utterances on the unanimty of
our Party on the question of war, is exceedingly
ambiguous land after the declaration of the 9Th of
August of the Opposition very Significantly. What
separates (that is the Opposition from the Party
the RedaehoR9 is incomparably smaller % than
that which unites u.s." What a statement! If in the
question of defending the Soviet Union the factors
dividing were greater than those uniting us, then
Conrade Trotzky would find himself outside OF our
Party. Everybody understand this without the
statements of Comrade Trotzky. But the fact that
Comrade Trotzky replies to the question of a non
Communist delegation with such extremely ambigu-
Gus phrases (while he knows at the same time that
the bourgeois and the social democratic press will
take advantage of his assertions against Party
this fact proves again that the Opposition,
in this most important question has not freed itself
from those errors, the impermissbility of which is
clear to every Communist.
We do not wish to deal here with the other
Irregularities" in Comrade Trotzkys "Interview"
for example with the doubts" which Comrade Trot-
zky expressed-owing to alleged lack of informa-
ton" (?)-regarding whether the Soviet Govern
ment in any way "goes hand in hand" with the So
called living church! 1t is remarkable that Com
rade Trotzky has forgotten the existence of
number of organs of the Soviet government which
are conducting anti-religious propaganda.
Finally, we express our establishment that ques-
tons put by the American delegation, which &C
cording to their very nature quite simple for
every class-eonscious worker and bolshevik, could,
according to the words of Comrade Trotzky, prove
so difficult" that he was not "sure of his ground
regarding them and could commit so many unpard-
enable errors.

Pravda Exposes Trotsky's Errors

speak of the socialist character of our State but
only of the "non-capitalist" CD tendency of our
government).
The replies of Comrade Trotzky can, in the last
resort, mislead the American delegation and also
others, both regards Soviet reality and the Views
of our Party regarding this reality.
3. We cannot avoid calling attention to the fact
that Comrade Trotzky while yelling the true demo-
cratic character of the proletarian dictatorship, at
the same time permits superfluous beautifying of
bourgeois democracy insofar he maintains, with
out the necessary reservations that the workers
in any democratic State have the right to their own
press, to hold meetings etc"
This assertion is contrary to the facts. Every
body knows that in the most democratic" countries
(for example in America, where just recently the
democratic" bourgeois court caused the workers
and Sacco and Vanzetti to be executed) the revolu
tonary workers systematically prosecuted Ear
rested, punished etc. for propagating their views
1t is impossible to understand how Comrade Trot-
zky could forget these political ATTRACTIONS" Of
bourgeois democracy and content himself with
ly pointing to the purely economic relations which
under capitalism prevent the workers from making
use of the liberty of the press which is alleged to
exist.
A. Moreover, in our opinion the answer of Com
rade Trotzy to the question: "Can the Soviet Union
catch up to the capitalist States which march
ing at the head?' is completely Incorrect The ques-
ton was formulated in such a manner as to render
absolutely necessary distinction there spheres
in which we have already long oyertaken the ca
pitalist States (the Soviet power as form of
proletarian dictatorship as the highest type of de-
mocracy; the successes of the socialist methods of
economy which subordinate national economy as a
whole to the interests of the proletariat and the
working masses). Comrade Trotzky did not say a
word regarding this. Even assuming that the ques-
lions of the American delegation referred only to
the technique of the Soviet industry Comrade Trot
zky's answer was likewise Incorrect, for he did not
openly say that in this field also we catching

Comrade Trotzky clothed this principle $50 long
class antagonisms exist-discontent is unavod-
abe, it is obviously therefore discontent" of the
caSses) it only applies to the capitalist countries,
in which revolutionary discomfort the class discon-
tent of the toing masses with the bourgeois regime
is actually driving force In the country in which
the power is in the hands of the proetariat class
discomfort with the existing power is expressed in
the first place by the bourgeoisie, which conceals
itself behind such conceptions 'the people, de
mocracy," Constituent Assembly" and which in
the fight against the dictatorship of the proletarat
frequently makes use of the immediate help of
foreign capital las we remember in the years of
intervention). From the standpoint of the prole-
tariat this Revolutionary discomfort by
no means be recognised as a driving force. But this
is what can be inferred from Comrade Trotzkys
words Precisely in the way, this "discontent"
with the Soviet regime forward driving
force in the period of acute struggle lin the years
of the civil wary in which various vacillating
tons of the working class under the influence
of the bourgeosie In the days Of the Kronstadt
revolt such vacillations direct menace
to the Soviet power. They threatened the country
with "retrogression'; they in way meant 'pro-
gress."
1t is very remarkable that Comrade Trotzky in
his utterances regarding the "ncomparably more
complete and more immediate possibility under the
Soviet regime of the working giving express
sion to their feelings and interests" considered it
necessary to link up this principle not with the
question of the advantages of proetarian COM
pared with bourgeois democracy, but rather with
the question of "discontent" under the Soviet
gime, whereby he passes in complete silence
the enormous social advance of the working and
peasant Masses their active and many-sided par
tcipation in socialist construction which is certain
ly not rooted in "dscontent' but in complete sup
port of the Soviet State the only socialist State

AMERICAN SCHOOLS
By DOROTHY GREEN.

Does the American education benefit the children
of the workers?
The public grammar schools and high schools
organized with the intention of giving all
children chance to get a free education But with
time this purpose became partially extinct. The
capitalist system which backs this free educational
system has been the cause for this.
Children often pay with their lives for this free
education. They have to learn in stuffy and
crowded rooms in the weather and in i'll
heated rooms in the cold weather Their minds are
doped with the poisonous propaganda Of the capital
list class They taught to break strikes. That
strikes illegal and Boshevistc and that it might
lead in breaking up this wonderful country. They
are taught to go against their parents who are
workers and Join the ranks of their enemies. The
children are not given the privilege of expressing
their own opinion. They must keep quiet for fear
of corrupting the minds of their fellow students
Comrades must fight against the doping of
children the children of the workers We must fight
against the doping of future workers.

Ii might strike you funny to hear that there is
child labor in the United States but that it does
exist is indsputable Only three years ago in 1924,
there were two million children under the age of
fourteen years, employed in the factories, mills,
mines and cotton plantations But now six million
children are SO employed.
"The Current Events" a capitalist newspaper in
the schools once had an article child labor and
it said that child labor is rapidly decreasing because
the bosses are afraid that when the children grow
up they might become union members and strikers.
Why shouldn't they become union members? The
bosses are afraid that the children might learn
of their oppression Not being able to get educa-
ton the young children have to sit in the dirty
factories and labor. 'The Young Pioneers are
doing their best to organize these children against
their oppressors. We need the cooperation OF air
the workers to help US carry on the work.

of America and help in the struggle.
