"3. The enlarged Political Com
rlittee declares that Trotskyism is
menshevism, parading under left
phrases. Trotskyism misunderstands
the role Of the peasants in the rev.
olution; it springs over steps in the
revolutionary movement, and thus
leads to the setback or defeat of the
revolutionary movement. Trotsky-
ism, with its false theory of the
permanent revolution" and the i'm
possibility of building up socialism
in one country, dooms the Russian
Revolution and naturally leads to
the workers of the Soviet Union and
of the world giving up the task Of
defending the Soviet Union against
the attacks of the world imperial
lists. This is counter-revolutionary
and must be condemned by the
Party membership.
"a. Trotskyism is defeatism in
that it fails to recognize the partial
sterilization of capitalism and the
consequent temporary ebbing of the
revolutionary movement. 1t leads
to pessimism, and thus undermines
the Communist Party.
IS. By undermining the Party
and instilling a spirit of defeatism,
Trotskyism plays into the hands Of
the counter-revolutionary move
ment. 1t threatens the unity of the
Party and Ehe Comintern, and thus
aids the imperialists in their plans
against the Soviet Union and the
revolutionary workers.

one of the most delightful fan
" tastes ever presented in the
United States has been revived by
Eva lie Gallienne and is now part
of the regular repertoire of the
Civic Repertory Theatre. 1t is
Barrie's "Peter Pam" or "The Boy
Who Wouldn't Grow Up"
"Peter Pan" is a brilliGnt pro-
duction, generously sprinkled with
those little technical devices and
novel stage-shiftings that delight
the theatregoer. which in this case
is the child. Written for the chill
dren of an intimate of Barrie and
originally produced with these chill
dren in the roles of the homeless
and motherless waits, the play is
moralistic to great degree; but
somehow this is lost in the sheer
delight of the presentation. The
play includes Indians 1.-THE feathered
and blanketed kind) and pirates
and wolves and fairies, all of which
are part of the experience of the
three children of a bourgeois fam
lily who are led to the forest haunts
by Peter Pan, a homeless and moth
erless child who crows like rooster
at dawn and shouts in his freedom,
"I'm youth, Pm joy! I'm a little
bird that has broken out of its
egg"
In addition to the whimsical quail
ity inherent in the play, a strong
satire is present, revealed through
out in little incidents. 1t is the
presence of these satirical thrusts
1 believe, that has led the mature
person to see it and pack the thea
tres whenever it is produced. When
the pirates are about to make the
children walk the plank, they burst
into "The Star Spangled Banner;
when the mother is allowed by the
pirate captain to give the children
her last message, it is ALWAYS to
remember you are gentlemen"
The play is shot through with
bourgeois concepts of morality and
of it's very nature, since it is writ
ten by a member of the British no
bility, forces upon the conscious
ness of the audience a sort of cod
ding belief in this die-hard and
barren morality. But children, /
am sure, would never notice any
thing except the incident itself, and
delight in the play without the
slightest regard for the meaning.
All of which raises again con-
troversy which, with the. Soviet
Union, recently passed its eleventh
anniversary.
The U. S. S. R. looks upon the
education of the children as one of
it's most important problems. The
literature and theatre of the first
workers and peasants republic
strive as far as possible to instill
in the children of the land new
theology, in keeping with the new
government. So much energy has
been spent on children's entertain
ment and education in Russia that
the output of children's books in
1929 exceeded that of any other
country in the world. But in con-
nection with the building up of a
Communist theology in the child,
many arguments have arisen, with
foremost leaders of the Soviet state
championing each side. This is
whether books or plays which re-
tain the slightest trace of what is
known, in this controversy, as
literature of illusion"-i. e., deal
ing with fairies, COLLINS, ETC., or

Communist Party of the Soviet
Union did not hesitate to link up
with elements expelled from the
communist Parties, who carried on
q vicious struggle against the Com,
munist International and the Soviet
government. 1t employed the most
shameful! methods not different
from those Of the lowest counter
revolutionaries. The opposition in
the Communist Party of the Soviet
Union organized party within the
Bolshevik Party, thus threatening
the unity of the Russian Party, the
Comintern and the revolutionary
movement of the world.
81. Five years later, when the
world stands close to another in
ternational war, when the tasks de-
volving on the Communist Parties
have become even more serious, the
Trotsky group in the American
Party challenges the integrity of
the Party and hurls the most shame
full ISLANDERS against the Party, the
Communist Party of the Soviet
Union and the Communist Interna-
tional. This group Of misplaced
petty bourgeois intellectuals attacks
the proletarian Communist Party of
the Soviet Union and demands the
reinstatement of Trotsky and other
renegades who have kept the Com
intern in turmoil. In turn, the Rus
sian opposition demands the rein
statement of the renegades in the
other countries, thus demonstrating
their unprincipled position.

said Mrs. c. F. Raricks, 1402 N. Gale
ST., this city, to the Konjola Man,
just the other day. while talking TO
him at Hooks drug store, Illinois
and Washington SITS, where he is
daily meeting the public and ex-
planning the merits if this new Kon-
Jola:
II had been told that my blood
pressure was so far above normal,
my condition was becoming serious"
continued Mrs. Raricks. II did not
know what to Go and was terribly
worried. All during the day I was
subject to terrific headaches. They
felt as if some one we're driving a
knife in my head and sometimes
they were so intense that 1 thought
I would go mad. These miseries
made me so nervous that I had to
take special medicine to make me
sleep at night. Sometimes my nerves
were so bad that the least noise
made me scream. Finally my ston-
ach was effected and 1 could not eat
anything without suffering awful
miseries after each meal. I would
have gas bloating spells that made
it impossible for me to get my
breath and many times 1 would have
to fight with all my strength to
keep from Strangling. I was getting
very discouraged and soon lost all
interest in life.
Il decided to take Konjola. after I
learned how this medicine had
helped my friends and the good it
was doing throughout the city and
this vicinity. AS I continued with
the treatment I knew that this was
the only medicine that really helped
me. 1t regulated my entire system,
drove all the poisons from my body
and helped my health in every way.
My blood pressure has gone down
and I don't worry about it any
more. Since my troubles have got
ten better my nerves grew more
quiet, and now I can sleep without
lying awake for hours at time.
My stomach is normal and the food
never bothers me. I am now a
happy woman and I owe all my new
health to Konjola.
ut did not seem possible to, me
that Konjola could relieve me as it
has done. 1t is wonderful to have a
medicine like Konjola in the drug
stores of indianapolis and I will
recommend this compound every
chance I get"
The Konjola Man is at Hooks
drug store, Illinois and Washington
SITS, where he is daily meeting the
public and introducing and explain
ing the merits of this remedy. Kon-
jola is being sold in large quantities
at all Hook stores and by all the

PARIS THRILLS

PARIS, Feb. 24.-Although near
" all of the American Legionaires
who attended the convention here
last September have managed to
get back home, two of their most
picturesque members are still here.
And they still are making a big hit.
These two are the Hamm broth
ers, Bill and Emil, the Cowboy
Musicians" from jacksonville, Cal.
Wearing their big sonlbreros and
dressed in their vivid cowboy
clothes, with riding boots and spurs,
they have become familiar figures
around the streets, but they always
attract attention.
Paris is blase about strange
visitors, for men come here from
many lands and often wear weird
garments, but the touch of western
atmosphere about. the Hanrn broth
ers remains a novelty.
Billie plays an elongated cornet
and Emil works musical wonders
with a large white accordion which
he straps over his shoulders. The
pair was a knockout in the legion
parade and now they are much in
demand here as entertainers. They
are called to all sorts of functions.

harmless "gat" that Billie wears in
the approved cowboy fashion at his
hip.
