Party unity is the gift which the
Party presents to the Congress.
Opposition Defeated.
"The Opposition's speculations
about imminent difficulties have fail
cd dismally, The Menshevist nature
of Trotskyism has been exposed more
clearly than ever before. The politi-
cal paralytics are deserting the prole-
tartan camp while tens of thousands
of new workers are joining the Party"
The results of the pre-Congress dis
cussions of the question of the Oppo-
sition published in the Pravda show
that out of a total of 730,862 who
participated in the discussion, 724,066

USSR Peace Plan Shows
Up Hypocrisy

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Presi-
dent Coolidge does not believe it
would be for "the welfare of the
world" to abandon navies entirely, as
proposed by the Soviet delegation to
the League of Nations Preparatory
Disarmament Conference, it was
stated at the White House today.
Although Coolidge has not exam
ined the details of the Soviet propos-
ais, he says he believes that it would
be in no case applicable to the United
States, who military forces are re-
garded by him as limited to "police
requirements" and the security of
American mortgages abroad. 1t was
also revealed that he contemplates
some program in the Forthcoming ses-
sion of congress for the construction
of additional cruisers.
Eight cruisers have been laid down
under this administration. The presi-
dent says that many of the existing
warcraft are "old and replacements
are necessary"
Waste Time.
GENEVA, Dec. 2.-The disarm-
ament conference will end tonight or
tomorrow night with no apparent re-
suits. The Soviet Union, however, has
conclusively proved that the capital
ist powers do not want to disarm and
that they will fight any genuine dis
armament proposal.
After the straightforward concrete
disarmament proposal put forward by
Maxim Litvinoff, head of the Soviet
Unions delegation, the question OF
disarmament was not even discussed.
The work of the conference revolved
about the meetings of the security
commission which accomplished prac-
tically nothing.
Britain Won't Disarm.
The attitude of the capitalist pow
ers toward disarmament was clearly
expressed this afternoon by Lord
Cushendcn, who in statement to the
press today declared that Britain
cannot disarm any more"
The Soviet Union offered it's pro-
posal with little expectation that the
capitalist powers would accept it. Sew
eral days before the opening Of the
conference the Pravda in an editorial
declared, "The Soviet delegation will
go to Geneva not because the Soviet
government has changed its position
on the Geneva talking club. but be-
cause it wishes again to stress its
peace-loving policy. The Soviet Union
will be in position n Geneva to
prove by indisputable facts those who
really wish to disarm and those who
are irreconcilably opposed to it."
The Soviet delegation of sixteen
members will leave for Moscow to-
morrow, it was learned.
