lion at that precise instant dropped dead

One Of the remarkable features OF
Bruce's lion hunting is the fact that hs

upon 4 revolver and German auto

craftsmanship, as is evidenced by the
fact that he seldom carries = pistol

Self.preservation is his only object IN
carrying an empty pistol. Often the
hammer is struck by some overhanging
branch and he fears that he might shoot
himself if the weapon were loaded.
Bruce does not have the idea Of ex-

Rather, he wants to keep them down to
some reasonable proportion with refer

at least three additional men, trained in
lion lore, to exterminate them, he says.
The average length Of California

Bruce figures he has walked an average

Resolution on the Opposition in the Communist Party Of
The Soviet Union and the Communist International

such as Korsch, Fisher, Maslow,
Souvarire, etc. Thus the opposition
has been menacing the unity of the
Communist Party of the Soviet Union
and effectively leading towards an
attempt to form another Party At
the same time, it has been leading to-
wards the formation of a Fourth In
ternational."
The time has come to take more
energetic measures against an oppo-
sition which has so completely dis
credited itself, so cynically violated
all its pledges and the most elemen-
tary precepts of party discipline, and
which has undertaken to revise or
displace Leninism in the programs of
the Communist Party of the Soviet
Union and the Communist Interna-
tional.
1t is time to put a halt once and
for all to the activities of the oppo-
sition, particularly because of the
critical international situation and
the open preparations Of the interna-
tional bourgeoisie for a new war
against the Soviet Union. In this
difficult period, the opposition, by
trying to throw doubt on the Socialist
character of the Soviet Union, tends
to weaken the defense of the Soviet
Union by the workers of the entire
world in the forthcoming war. It's in
correct proposals on rural economy
tend to weaken the worker-peasant
bloc. Its attempt to propagate the
legends about the degeneration of the
Communist Party of the Soviet Union
and the lessening socialist character
of the Soviet Union tends to weaken
the leadership and the will of the
working class of the Soviet Union. II
serves also as a weapon to be used
by imperialism and by the Second In
ternational in their campaign, in
which such renegades from Commu-
nism as Korsch, Maslow, Fischer and
! Souvarine take part, to justify war
against the Soviet Union and to
lessen the readiness Of the workers
of the world to rally to the defense
of the Workers State. 80
The Central Executive Committee
of the Workers (Communist) Party
not only endorses the action of the
Executive Committee Of the Commu-
mist International in removing Trots-
ky and Vuyovitch but feels that the
forthcoming Congress of the Commu-
mist Party of the Soviet Union should
take all steps necessary to terminate
once and for all, all fractional activ-
tiles of the opposition tending tc
weaken the discipline or authority OF
the Communist Party of the Soviet
Union and the Comintern or to isolate
the Soviet Union and weaken the will
of the masses of workers and op.

fend with all their might the Soviet

The Central Executive Committee
of the Workers (Communist) Party
condemned the opposition in the Com
munist Party of the Soviet Union at
the beginning of the year 1924, by a
resolution adopted with only one neg
ative vote, that of Ludwig Lore,
avowed supporter of Trotsky who has
since been expelled from our Party
for opportunism.
The Party has followed the contro-
versy in the Russian Party closely
and at all stages since the expulsion
of Lore, our Central Executive Com
mittee has unanimously supported the
Central Committee of the Communist
Party of the Soviet Union and the
Comintern.
We have carried on an active cam
paign thru publications, reports and
discussion to make clear to the men,
bership of the Party the issues. in
volved in the opposition's attack on
Leninism and on the unity of the
Communist Party of the Soviet Union
and the Comintern. At all function
aries, and membership meetings where
resolutions were introduced, the vote
has been unanimous or with a maxi
mum of one or two negative votes or
abstentations. We have also endeav-
ored to eliminate tendencies, related
or analogous to Trotskyism, such as
Loreism.
The Central Executive Committee
of the Workers (Communist) Party
approves wholeheartedly the recent
action of the Executive Committee of
the Communist International in re-
moving Comrade Trotsky and Vuyo-
witch from the Executive Committee
of the Comintern. The Comintern and
the Communist Party Of the Soviet
Union have shown great patience in
dealing with the opposition and given
it every opportunity to correct its
deviations and cease its activities
against the unity of the Party and
the Comintern. The opposition has
merely utilized these opportunities
for continued violation of their
pledges and secret and open intensi-
fication of their activities, so many
times condemned, and their reopening
of questions so many times settled by
the competent committees and by the
vote of the entire membership of the
Communist Party of the Soviet Union
and the entire executive of the Com
intern.
The opposition, in spite of new OPP
portunities given them to discuss le-
gally in the columns of the Commu-
mist press, it's differences with the
Communist Party of the Soviet Union
and despite it's solemn pledge to cease
all fractional activities, has continued
to attempt to build up fractional or
ganization parallel with the organi-
cation of the Communist Party of the
Soviet Union, an underground press
and a system Of international connec
tions with elements fighting agains

Planted i'm Early May.

"On April ~ the ground was broken
from six to eight inches. The land
was narrowed and ross-harrOwed i'm

inches apart. The crop was planted
May 10 and at the same time 100 pounds
of nitrate of soda and 500 pounds of
1922 commercial fertilizer, per acre,
were distributed On May 2S the crop
was cultivated the first time with a
six inch sweep and the crop then was
hoed.
after the second plOwing, the cot
ton was thinned to two or three stalks
per hill, the hills from six to eight

$225.60 to produce 2,450 pounds Of
lint cotton and 4,204 pounds Of seed
On three acres. Based on prices of
December 10, 1926 the value of the
lint and seed was $39796, leaving a

of the short staple was so low and the
