tent peace policy in the future, to
strengthen every means of fraternal
connections of the Soviet workers ano
workers of western Europe and the
toiling masses of oppressed countries
to develop Systematically economic
connections with capitalist countries
simultaneously assuring the growth
of economic independence of the U
S. S. R., to constantly strengthen the
defensive capacity of the country by
accommodating the necessary economic
reserves.
"The congress records the successes
achieved by the Party and working

production by means of production, OF
developing the production of raw ma

"The congress authorizes the Cen
trail Committee to take practical mea-
sures for the development Of agricul-
ture. The congress regards the ra-
tional distribution of land one of the
main measures for the still more ener-
getic elimination of the private capt.
talist elements in town and country.
"The congress records a quantita-
tive and qualitative Party growth
since the 18th Congress and fully ap-
proves the Central Committee policy

Disregard Warming.
Congress records that, despite the
warning of the 18th Congress which
noticed the petty bourgeois tendency
of the Trotsky group, despite the
warning of the 18th Conference con-
corning the social democratic tenden-
cy united under Trotsky's leadership,
the Opposition continued deepening
month to month it's revisionist errors
by carrying on struggle against the
Party and Leninism, building a sepa-
rate Party, taking up the struggle
outside the Party, appealing to non
proletarian elements against the re-
gime of the proletarian dictatorship.
"The theology of the Opposition
which openly allies itself with rene
gades of international Communism at
the present time, took the form of
Menshevism peculiar of the Trotsky
brand. The denial of the socialist
character of the Soviet enterprises,
the denial of the possibility of the VIC
rorious socialist construction of the U.
5. S. R., the denial of the policy of
working class alliance with the main
masses of the peasantry, the denial of
organizational Bolshevik principles,
logically brought the Trotsky Menshe-
visit Opposition to SANDER the U. S.
s. r. as degenerated Thermidolian
state, to a denial of the proletarian
dictatorship in the U. S. S. R. and to
counter-revolutionary struggle against
1t. Hence, the Opposition theological
~ broke with Leninlsm, degenerated
into Menshevist group and took the
path OF capitulation to the forces of
international and internal bourgeoisie,
becoming effectively an instrument of
third force against the regime of the
proletarian dictatorship.
Defeat By Masses.
Precisely because of this, the
opposition received such a crushing
ieleat on the part of the masses OF
i'arty membership and the working
class. All of the resolutions OF the
central Committee and Central Con-
troll Commission directed against the
disruptive work of the Trotskyists
the congress considers absolutely cor
rect and necessary.
1T authorizes the Central Commit
tee to secure unity in Lenins farty
by all means in the future. Consld-
cring that the differences between
the Party and Opposition developed
from tactical to programmatic al.
that the Trotskyist Opposition objec.
lively. became factor in the anti
Soviet struggle, the congress declares
affiliation with the Trotskyist oppo-
sition and propagation Of it's views
incompatible with membership in the
Bolshevik Party. The Congress ex.
presses firm proletarian conviction
in the victory of Socialism in our
country despite difficulties.
