In iii. Coal Dis tricts

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, (FP) Dec. 2.
Coal miners of other states are
urged to stay away from Illinois in
statement issued by Harry Fishwick,
president District II, United Mine
Workers of America, because of great
unemployment of miners in the state.
Miners coming here from other
states in search of work are only
making matters worse" said Fish
wick. "Mines here are overcrowded
and unemployment among our own
men is prevalent. We are now de
vising means of relief for our own
people" He declared that miners in
other states are being misinformed
as to the number of mines working
and the number of days worked in
Illinois.

m the Soviet Union, the workers
rule. They use their power as the
ruling class to destroy step by step
The remains of capitalism and to
3uild up socialism.
Within the Soviet Union, the work
srs are greatly outnumbered by the
peasants. Outside the Soviet Union,
Is ring of hostile capitalist states,
armed to the teeth and plotting the
destruction of the workers govern
ment
The workers of the Soviet Union
have made their revolution with the
aid of the peasants. They cannot
resist attack without the support Of
the peasants. They could not main
tain their rule if that support were
changed to hostility. The problem Of
maintaining working class rule and
building socialism in the Soviet
Union is in the first place the prob
lem of maintaining the alliance be-
tween peasants eand workers.
Alliance a Vital Necessity.
Any policy which threatens to
break that alliance is dangerous.
Whoever does not understand the
Importance of that alliance for the
maintaining Of the proletarian die
tatorship is not fit to be a leader Of
the Russian workers. Re his inten-
tions what they may, be his past
services however important, one who
proposes measures which will break
the alliance between workers and
peasants is proposing measures which
lead to the overthrow Of the Soviet
Union, to the destruction of the work
ers' rule. Such man cannot lead
the Party which leads the workers.
0pposition's Fatal Mistake.
One of the fundamental errors Of
the Opposition consists in just this
They do not understand the relation
OF class forces in the Soviet Union.
They do not understand the role of
the peasantry. They do not under
stand the Importance of maintaining
the alliance of worker and peasant
and the role that this alliance can
play in the building of socialism
They make concrete proposals which
if adopted, would destroy this ALI
ance, hence their proposals are dan
gerous for the working class of the
Soviet Union.

They Go Marching On.

lHSy UO MdFCHlHS OH.
Millions are wondering about the
death of Sacco and Vanzetti. Many
of them are wondering for the first
time whether they are really living
in republic where democracy and
equality exist after what happened at
Charlestown, Mass. Once upon time
at Charleston--this time in Virgins,
man was likewise done to death.
F'iXty-eight years ago John Brown
kissed little Negro baby, and then
he was hanged by the neck until he
was dead. 1t was a legal execution.
He had attempted to arouse the
slaves to fight for their freedom. 1t
was a madman's dream and it was
ended at the end of hempen rope.
But John Browns soul goes march
ing on: just like the souls or rather
spirits of Sacco and Vanzetti.

"Allies" Order Austria to

PARIS, Dec. 2.-As Austria has
compiled with allied demands for dis
armament, the Council of Ambassa-

on Jan. 81. In the meantime Austria
must enact a law restricting the
manufacture and expectation of war

the working class in various other
countries and by the actual and inn
mediate aid of the working class gov
ernments in other countries.
Menshevik Views.
In the period before 1905, Trotsky's
views were even worse. He tended
to agree with the Mensheviks who
did not believe that the peasants
should play any role in the revolution
at all.
The Mensheviks, in the period pre-
ceding 1905, were opposed to Lenin's
policy of stirring up the peasantry.
They were opposed to Lenin's theory
hat the working class should assume
state power Immediately upon the
overthrow of the Gear.
Therefore, on the eve of 1905, the
Mensheviks said:
This revolution that is now be-
ginning is not and cannot be a
working class revolution. 1t must
be bourgeois (capitalist) revolu-
ton to establish capitalist democ-
racy in Russia. The working class
must help the capitalists in this
fight but must not fight as an in
dependent force to establish work
ing class rule. The peasants can
help the capitalists but cannot help
the working class.
This was a counter-revolutionar
proposal which would have meant
neither capitalist democracy nor
working-cla role and would have
made the working class nothing but
tool of the capitalist class that was
really afraid to fight the Car to a
finish.

shevik attitude on the peasantrv anc

This slogan of Trotsky's was: "Nc

Meaning No Revolution.
This sounds very revolutionary, but
Lenin pointed out that the slogan
mo Gar but labor government
was really slogan which meant the

antry was impossible-hence the
slogan, "No Gar but labor govern
ment," for all it's fine revolutionary
sound, meant in practice-no revolu-
ton at all.
Kamenev, who now follows Trot-
sky, at that time declared of the
Trotsky slogan:
"The original theory of Trotsky
takes from the Bolsheviks the appeal
for decisive revolutionary struggle
of the proletariat and for conquest
of political power by the proletariat;
from the Mensheviks the negation of

Trotsky Against Leninism

same dangerous role of furnishing
understanding ultra-left revolution
airy phrases to conceal and cloak the
most counter-revolutionary content,
the most dangerous proposals, which
would lead to the betrayal or liquida-
ton of the revolutionary movement.
Lenin had to attack Trotsky again
and again for his empty hollow
phrases" and for his lack of sound
standpoint on fundamental questions
"Never", says Lenin, sin single
serious question Of Marxism, has
Trotsky had a firm opinion. He al
WAYS squeezes himself into a division
between this and that difference of
opinion and always runs from one
side to the other"
At another time Lenin said of him;
"He (Trotsky) was in the year.
1903 Menshevik, he left this Party
in 1904, returned to the Mensheviks
in 1905 and paraded around with
ultra-revolutionary phrases. In 1906
he again abandoned this Party. At
the end of 1906 he again defended the
election alliance with the Cadets
Trotsky borrows some ideas,
today from one faction and tomorrow
from the other, and, therefore, con-
siders himself as man standing
above both factions"
Fundamental Difference.
To sum up:
We have noted above that Lenin
regards the alliance between the
workers and the peasants as the basis
of the dictatorship of the proletariat,
whereas Trotsky believes that the die
tatorship of the proletariat is form
of rule in which the working class
attacks the peasantry, makes of them
bitter enemy and causes "hostile
encounters" between the working
class government and 'the broad
masses of the peasantry."
Peasants Friends or Enemies?
Lenin speaks of the working class
as the leader of all the toiling and
exploited masses, including especially
the peasantry.
But Trotsky regards the working
class as the enemy of the peasantry
and speaks of the contradiction of
workers government in a backward
country with an overwhelmingly peas
ant population"
For Trotsky, the dictatorship of
the proletariat is carried on against
the peasantry and cannot endure I'M
less the proletariat is aided by sue
cessful revolution and state aid from
other countries.
For Lenin, the dictatorship of the
proletariat is a form of state power
based upon the alliance of the pro-
letariat and the masses of the peas
antry, an alliance which is to last
until capitalism is completely over
thrown, the socialist system COM
pletely set up and classes abolished.
Key TO Dispute.
It is important that these funda-
mental differences between the the
cries of Trotsky and the theories of
Lenin be understood because we will
see that these differences give the
key to all important differences in
practical proposals and all funda-
mental conflicts in the Communist
Party of the Soviet Union.
The next article will take up the
basis of Trotsly's lack of faith in
the possibility of building up social
ism in the Soviet Union while it is
surrounded by capitalist world.
