Piatak0v Asks Read1nission Into Party

This starting point in the estima
duct. With such an estimation the
differences in this or that question
engaging the attention of the Party
such differences in the village (Ku-
lak-middle peasant-village poor)
overstep the bounds of differences of
opinion between Party members.
That is the fist thing. Secondly:
Under the concrete conditions of the
fight of the dict atorship of the pro-
letariat for existence and develop
ment in the Soviet Union, the recog-
milton of the principle of the alliance
of the workers and peasants as the
fundamental law of development in
the present stage is at the same time
an indispensable condition for men,
bership of the Communist Party of
the Soviet Union. In this respect too
do not have any doubts. I was
afraid that the policy of the alliance
of the workers and peasants could be
converted into a policy Of ignoring
the class differences in the village
(Kulak - middle peasant - village
poor, which would have certainly
meant great danger to the dictator
ship. Now, however, it is clear that
was mistaken in this respect. That
is my present attitude.
RenOunces Opposition.
There clearly follows from all that
I have said above that I do not now
consider it right to defend the plat
form of the Opposition of September
3rd, 1927, which was set up by the
Opposition as chief weapon in the
fight against the Central Committee
of the Communist Party of the Sow
let Union. 1t is hardly necessary to
say that l reject the "directives"
which were published in the "Prav-
da" of January 18th. (This refers to
the letters of instructions of the
Trotskyist Opposition which were
printed in "Inprecorr" No. 8 of 10Th
of January, ED. I am completely
in agreement with the criticism Of
these .directives expressed by Zinc
view and Kamenev in their letter to
the "Pravda" of 9th of January,
1928.
For all these reasons I consider
it necessary and possible to request
the Central Control Commission to
admit me again to the Communist
Party of the Soviet Union, and 1 be-
lieve that the comrades who took
part with me in the fight of the OPP
position and now share my stand
point, can and must be also readmit-
ted to the Party.

Must Return to Communist Party.
1t is impossible to stick to inter
mediate solutions. Therefore | re-
ject both the way of a second party
and the way of any political organi-
cation outside the Communist Party
of the Soviet Union which does not
stand under the control and the lead
ership of the latter.
For Bolshevik, the second answer
is no answer at all. 1t is an evasion
of the answer and a refusal to take
part in the political fight of the
working class.
There remains therefore only one
correct answer: to return to the
ranks of the Communist Party of the
Soviet Union in order to take part
in the common fight and the common
work of the Party. That is just my
answer to the question submitted
above.
With this reply understand at the
same time the observation of three
indispensable conditions of member
ship of the Party; 1. l return to the
Party not in order to renew the frac-
ton fight, but to take part in the
common work and the common strug-
gle of the Party; 2. In regard to the
question of the binding character of
the decisions of the highest Party
bodies there exists for me no vacilla-
ton; 8. My political standpoint is
worthy of member of the Commun-
list Party of the Soviet Union.
AS regards the first two conditions,
I do not need to repeat myself. All
that have stated above clearly shows
that l have the intention to observe
these two conditions fully and with
out reservations.
In regard to the third condition, an
appropriate explanation is necessary
What is decisive in this respect is
how one estimates politically the
Comintern, the Communist Party of
the Soviet Union and the Soviet
Power. For me there exists no doubt
that the Comintern, it's sections and
in particular the Communist Party
of the Soviet Union is the sole and
only political organization of the
Communists which conducts a Lenin-
list policy; that the Soviet Power in
the Soviet Union is the organization
of the proletarian dictatorship, the
defense and consolidation of which
is one of the most important duties
of every Communist, both in the Sow
let Union and abroad, and that in the
Soviet Union the Soviet States and
the trade unions, under the leader
ship of the Communist Party of the
Soviet Union, are building up social
ism.

D. AR. Faces
Investigation
In the Senate

WASHINGTON, April 8 (FP). -
After officials at national headquar-
tiers of the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution lad refused to answer
press inquiries as to the conflict in
Boston over their blacklist" of
liberal, labor, pacifist, civil liberties,
and radical groups, Senator Brook
hart, of Iowa, announced that he
would bring the matter to the at
tention of the senate.
Brookhart had been in correspond
ence with Mrs. Bailie, who is leading
the fight within that organization
against it's inquisitional activities.
Brookhart's name appeared in one Of
the blacklists issued by the OAR. in
Massachusetts and it was after his
name was published in the press that
he decided to act.
The "Blue Menace" is trying to
suppress all speeches and publica-
lions, so far as possible, favorable to
small navy, trade unionism, civil
liberties guarantees, public owner
ship, social insurance and outlawry
of war.

based on the marked difference

EDITORS NOTE-The follow
ing declaration of Comrade Pia-
takOv, of which we have already
published telegraphic summary,
is of great political significance.
The declaration of COmrade Pia-
takOv is the commencement of the
decay of the Trotzkyist Opposition.
As is known, the Opposition
represented bloc of the Trotskyist
and the ZinOviev-Kamenev Group.
After the XIV. Party Congress of
the Communist Party of the Soviet
union the kernel of the last group
capitulated to the Party. The Trotz-
kyist Opposition, however, persisted
in its former standpoint. The fol-
lowers of Trotzky circulated abroad
inflated rumors regarding their
unity. Political upstairs of the
type of MaslOv had the impudence to
explain the detection of the Elmo
view group from the Trotzkyists by
the fact that the former were afraid
of the cold of Siberia"
The Declaration of PiatakOv shat
tiers these assertions. 1t is precisely
interesting owing to the fact that
it raises the question of capitulation
as a question of principle. "The
answer" he writes, depends upon
how one politically estimates the
Power existing in the Soviet Union,
the Communist International and
the Communist Party of the Soviet
Union The Declaration of Plata
kOv skaters the last shope of the
European" allies of the Trotzky-
lists upon the unity of the Trotzky-
list Opposition.
Piatakov Prominent Figure
Piatakov was for many years one
of the pillars of TrOtzkyism. Since
the trade union discussion of the
years 1920-21, when Piatakov took
the side of TrOtzky, he has remained
one of the most prominent figures
in the Trotzkyist Opposition. Plata
kOv was, in addition, one of the
firmest supporters of the principle
of TrOtzkyism, as even before the
trade union discussion he defended,
as Left Communist" views which
are closely allied to Trotzkyism.
Therefore PiatakOv's detection is
symptom of the fact that the
TrOtzkyist Opposition is beginning
TO disintegrate. Piatakov's decIara-
ton will, as he himself writes, urge
number of other Trotzkists on the
road to capitulation to the Party.
We recommend every honest prole-
number of other Trotzkyists on the
TrOtzNyist calumniators to think
carefully over Piatakov's letter.

many had there children on their
backs. From early in the morning
till late at night they were passing
coal. The regular crew had been sent
ashore while the women and children
coaled the ship for 25 to 80 cents a
day. This for women and this con-
dition allowed on a U. S. battle

tolerate such inhuman conditions to
be imposed on women. Who said
that?
This incident of the 1881 Class"
Henderson trip of 1922 is not an
isolated case of debauchery, hypo-
crisy and waste Of money in naval
circles, but is typical Of the rule and
standards set. The working class
youth of the navy have the same prob
lens to contend with as workers in
civilian life. There must be a joining
together of the workers in the mill
tary service with the workers In
civilian life.

I Text of the Declaration of PiatakOv.
To the Chairman of the Central
Control Commission of the Commu-
mist Party of the Soviet Union. Copy
to the Secretary of the Central Com
mittee of the Communist Party of the
Soviet Union.
New difficulties have arisen before
the Party. The Party is working in
defatigably to overcome them. An
obstinate and hard fight is approach
ing. This circumstance places before
every expelled member the question
of the necessity of returning to the
Party.
Together with the whole combined
Opposition | conducted the fight
against the majority under the as
sumption that this fight would help
the Party to find the correct path in
that complicated and confused situa-
ton in which it was compelled to
work. In this fight we followed the
path of fraction struggle. The frac-
tional organization and the fractional
struggle led US to such acts which
openly weakened the Party as the
bearer of the proletarian dictatorship.
Such fighting methods 1 can in no
wise recognize as being correct. AS
result of this struggle I was, along
with the whole Opposition, excluded
from the Party. Exclusion from the
Party was bound to confront every
member of the Opposition with the
question: "What further?" l, too,
was bound to put this question to my
self.
Only 3 Replies Possible.
To this question there can only be
three replies: 1. To remain outside
the Party and to continue the political
fight; 2. to remain outside the Party
and to cease the political fight; 8.
to return to the Party in order to
take part in the common political
fight and in the work of the Party.
The answer depends upon how one
politically estimates the power exist
ing in the Soviet Union, the Commu-
mist international and the Communist
Party of the Soviet Union.
If l were of the opinion that the
Comintern and the Communist Par
| ty Of the Soviet Union had ceased to
be the political organization of the
Communists and to carry out Lenin-
list policy, were / of the opinion that
the Central Committee of the Com
munist Party of the Soviet Union had
ceased to represent the will and the
interests of the working class, were
of the opinion that the present
Soviet State had ceased to be the or
ganization of the proletarian dictator
ship, in short, We're l Of the opinion
that there had come about that which
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-04-09

with US is designated in conditional
sense as "Thermidor," then my reply
to the above questions would have
been: To remain outside the Party, to
combat politically the Communist
Party of the Soviet Union and the
State led by it. In this case should
have said without hesitation, that a
new legal or illegal Party must be
set up.
What is essential here are not tao
tical considerations chow and when
one should proceed to this step), but
the principle of the question, whether
we do or do not permit separation
from the Communist Party of the
Soviet Union and whether it is neces-
sary to take up the fight against the
Communist Party of the Soviet
Union. On this point there must exist
perfect clarity. If "Thermidor" ex-
lists, then one must break with the
Communist Party of the d Soviet
Union, one must endeavor to split off
from it the best elements, one must
begin to build up new party which
must take up the fight against the
Communist Party of the Soviet Union
and the State led by it and for the
proletarian dictatorship and Commu-
niSm.
Rejects Second Party"
Just because there do not exist the
political prescriptions for such a solu-
ton of the question, l believe that it
is impossible, injurious and criminal
to adopt the course of a second par
ty. This path, the path of a second
party, have rejected and do reject.
By rejecting the path of SECOND
party 1 also reject every kind of in
termediate solution the elimination
of which would be that outside of the
Party, in this or that form, there
would be organized a political move
ment, not under the control and lead
ership of the Party, but contrary tt
its will and wishes. Such intermedi.
ate solutions must inevitably leac
either to the decision to create a sec
ond party or to the decision to liqui.
