Trotskyists Leave Trotsky

in the fascist bourgeois press, and
this wedge spread and deepened the
gap. Many people then saw Trot-
skyism in new light. And every
honest Opposition worker, if he does
not ask himself today the question
of his quitting the Opposition, will
certainly do so tomorrow. That is
inevitable.
We must dwell for moment on
the declarations of former members
of the Opposition, which have been
made recently. S. Baranov, former
member of the Bolshevist Party
since 1918, has become convinced
that
"the Opposition does not help the
working class with its activity nor
does the Opposition help the Party
to overcome the difficulties in the
way of the working class, but, on
the contrary, only disturbs and
Injuries through its destructive
work and shakes the foundations
of the proletarian dictatorship.
The Opposition will inevitably
land in the camp of the enemies
of the proletarian State and of the
Soviet Power"
Workers Disown Trotskyism.
A former worker of Factory No.
%, w. Rips, condemned Trotsky's
publications regarding the attitude
of the Lenin Federation, when the
latter set up its own lists for the
German parliamentary elections.
Eleven workers from Poltava de-
clared that they have completely
broken with the Opposition and
mention in their declaration the an
ti-Soviet work being carried on by
the Trotskyists.
In Dnjepropetrovsk a member of
the Trotskyists, M. Gottlieb, dis
closes in the "Swjezda" the activity
of the Trotskyist district head
quarters: agitation against signing
the industrialization loan, attempts
to undermine the collective con-
tracts, agitation for strikes, perse-
cution Of the G. P. u, discrediting
the Communists, punishment of
those who leave the Opposition. In
reply to his inquiry of the Moscow
Trotzkyists why they did not send
the letters of Radek, Preobrashensky
and Smilga, Gottlieb was informed

signed by people, who were not at
all in agreement with this document,

The confused attitude in regard
to the assertion that the Thermidor
in Soviet Russia had already been
reached, awoke in the Opposition
workers doubt as to whether the
talk of the Opposition about the
Thermidor was at all justified. The
uncertain attitude of Trotsky in re-
lation to the "leftward" tendencies
among the Trotskyists also disin-
tegrated the opposition. And when
Trotsky-after his various tackings
and after loose theorizings about
the tackings within the Party with
the secret voting and with talk to
the effect that the path of reform
was one of the temporary ways
as one might say, the preparatory
way-put the unambiguous question
whether other paths were possible,
when he called the Sovietistic devel-
opment an inverted Kerenskiade,"
the workers Immediately felt that
they were being led into abyss, that
the Trotskyists were leading them
on to fight against their own class.
Trotsky Unmasks Himself.
The expulsion of Trotsky made
the question critical. The Trotsky-
lists tried all means to work upon
the feelings of theft followers. They
distributed leaflets; in the declara-
tions and expositions of the OPPOSE
ton to the C. C. C. and other or
gans the strongest words were used.
But Trotsky was conspirator. And
he had to become conspirator when
everybody saw that "the king was
Naked"
The Opposition workers read with
disgust Trotsky's articles in the
"Daily Express" New York Times,
and other bourgeois journals. In
vain the Trotskyists sought to
bridge over the differences which
arose in their ranks. Trotsky him
self had driven a wedge into the
gap through his reactionary articles

Warning Is Issued
to Makers of Wine
From the Asheville Times.

From the Ashevtlle Times.
From the United States Circuit
Court at Richmond comes q construc..
ton Of the Volstead law which b OF
interest to those who wish to obey the
law as well as those who. make and
vend contraband liquors Of any kind.
The lower court had convicted the de-
PENDANT, who admitted making so gale
Ions of wine for his own use with q
potency OF per cent alcohol. The
Circuit Court reversed the decision on
the ground that homemade wine, not
for purposes Of sale, constitutes an ex-
ception to the rule Of not Ire than q
half Of per cent alcohol.
It was the contention Of the defend
ant that, while he had exceeded the
general allowance Of alcohol, his prod
uct was mot intoxicating In fact" The
court sustained him, holding that so Tar
as fruit juices are affected by the law
the defense was valid. Brewed or fer-
mented beverages Of other classlnca-
tions would apparently be outlawed.
Thus no doubt the Inhabitants OF tine
country sections ind themselves In o
matter important to many Of them more
fortunate than their city cousins. Tney
are closer to the raw material Tor VINE
and cider. But do not make the VINE
too strong; the court did not undertake
to say at what point Of vtgor fruit
beverages would become Intoxicating In
fact, and there must be q legal maxi
mum somewhere.

Energy Held Wasted
I'm Naval Propaganda

TO the Editor Of The Star:
Mr.. shearer. the propagandist, seems
to be a Rip Van Wrinkle Just awaken
ing from a period of mental slumber
and picturing the world in It's condi-
ton Of fifty years ago. Then pre-
paredness was vital question. and we
later suffered from the lack of it. To-
day 1t Is different. Mr.. Shearer speaks
OF the blind faith that would lay the
richest Nation in the world open to
attack" He should be reminded that
faith Is the vision of things unseen by
the physical eye and, therefore, not
pnno. But his remark suggests the
question, Open to attack from whom?
surely not: from any one Of those
peoples with whom we were allied in
the late war, unless our bellicose threats
OF naval armament shall exasperate
tnem 10 the point Of frenzy. At present
Gernany,s lack Of a navy places her
outside our danger zone, and in the
coming years the mass Of her people,
as distinguished from the military
clique, may under the new form Of
government be largely Influenced by our
dealings with them.
Yesterday cutthroat competition be-
tween nations was in vogue; today the
WatchWord Is national as well as per-
Sonal Cooperation, as evidenced by the
League Of Nations, the World Court, the
disarmament conference and the KEEL
!ogg peace pact. History reminds US
that thinking and talking in war terms
has been largely responsible for actual
warfare. while friendship begetS friend
ship. Despite all our national errors
OF the past, to our credit be it said that
we have begun to set the pace Of help
fitness to needy nations, as conspic-
uously illustrated by the marvellous rec
ord OF the Near East Relief and our
recent treatment of China. The pre-
eminent need Of the hour is tact in
dealing with peoples whose outlook
upon life and consequent method Of
reasoning, because of traditional ex-
own. Too much is said concerning
"entangling alliances" Nobody wants
these; but all alliances are not en-
tangling.
True patriotism is not forever reiter-
ating our countryS wealth and great
ness, but its opportunities for usefulness
and the recognition of place "in the
sun" for every people where, like any
true organism, each may be at once q
means and an end to all the rest.
In this connection may suggest that
younger Of whom made the supreme
sacrifice. Personally, am a fighter
when there$is something worth while
at stake. But, so long as the spiritual
hosts Of wickedness in places high and
low furnish so much material for
legitimate warfare as at present, it
seems a most deplorable waste Of
energy, not to mention money, to per-
sist in punching the political ribs Of
to us, and thus provoke q spirit Of
luminosity and antagonism which some
day, as q United Asia and Europe,
might ripen into the very war which
we are wishing to avoid.

Diagnostic Clinic is
Needed by u. S. Workers

To the Editor Of The Star:
have read with q great deal Of in
terest the articles and editorials that
have appeared recently IL the columns
of The Star relating to the establish
ment Of q diagnostic clinic in the
Capital City. have been engaged In
Government welfare work for many
years and have been confronted re-
peatedly by the very situation which
the proposed diagnoStic clinic aims to
remedy.
am in daily touch with many en-
ployes whose physical condition calls
for an immediate diagnosis, and many
Of them are wen aware Of this fact,
but the present high cost Of such medi-
cal service places 1t entirely out Of
their reach. The result Is that the
health of these employees continues to
remain impaired and usually grows
worse: consequently their efficiency de-
clines proportionately.
In my bureau a cafeteria and several
refreshment stands are maintained. and
the small profits derived therefrom are
used as a welfare fund. Upon this fund
employees can draw in emergency cases
involving the various charges incident
to illness. The loans, however, must
be repaid, and the service provided Is
only Of a temporary nature, In that It
provides financial relief for the time
being only, but does not eliminate the
high cost of a complete physical exami-
nation, which, II made at reasonably
frequent intervals, would often elimi-
nate many Of the calls for financial as-
sistance due to illness from unknown
causes.
A few years ago we considered estab-
fishing q diagnostic clinic In connection
with our welfare work, but the plan
didn't materalize.
AS pointed out in the articles that
have appeared on this subject, people OF
small salaries, and most Government
employees are In this class, are too proud
to become charity patients, and do not
possess sufficient means to meet the
high cost Of a diagnosis under the
present charges for such professional
service.
am strongly in favor Of the pro-
posed clinic, and feel sure that the
&c, 600 or 10000 Government employees
in Washington will welcome 1t as q
long-felt want. The group Of physi-
clans who are sponsoring this movement
will justly merit the heartfelt praise
and thanks Of thousands Of people in
this city If they are successful in es-
tablishing the diagnostic clinic.

THIS AND THAT

Your housewife, on the other hand,

It Is not an easy job, even for an

bending upon the exact amount of
pride a housewife has in her home,
the "lady of the house" must get busy

of this great land Of ours in which

Here we are. Mrs. Jones Just this
morning washed all the windows, both

The Rain Imp chuckled so loud that
it sounded like thunder to the mortals
below.
"ao, no, hol" he roared, shaking his
sides. "That will do. That will do.
Mrs. Jones. So you washed all the
windows on the north side, did you?
"You poked the drying rag into 472
corners and patiently dried 1853 sepa-
rate panes because you have colonial
windows, have you?
well, well, well, it Is too bad, much
too bad, my dear Mrs. Jones, but you
will have to do 1t all over again TO-

And the wind blew and the rain
descended and the Weather Bureau ex-
planned it as the result of 'highs" and

who did it.

A Great Conciliator.

To few Americans-to practically none
except those who followed wartime
events In the Near East-does the name
Of Gen. Sir Gilbert Clayton, who has
just passed away in Bagdad, mean
anything. Yet he was one Of Britain's
real empire builders and carved his
name indelibly in the history which was
made In Northern Africa and In Asia
Minor between 1914 and 1919.
Everybody in this country who reads
the public prints has heard Of Col. T.

most colorful and romantic figure Of the
World War. Yet it was Gilbert Clayton
who made possible the amazing Law

chief of the British Arab Bureau In
Cairo, and Lawrence's superior officer.
He possessed the imagination and the
understanding Of Arab aspirations,
which the "hrass hats" Of the British
general staff VIGOROUSLY lacked.

Mr.. Justice Brandeis, who has spent
the Summer at his home on Cape Cod,
comprises the vanguard Of the United
States Supreme Court, which Will soon
be returning to the bench for its FAN
term. From 1914 to 1915 Justice
Brandeis was chairman OF the pro.
visional committee for general Zionist
affairs. His active interest in Palestine
took the form few years ago OF per-
sonal visit to the Holy Land and an ex-
haustive study Of its economic possibih-
ties, especially water-power develop
nert and irrigation. BrandeiS has
given literally Of his private fortune for
the upbuilding Of the Jewish homeland.
The other half Of the Holmes dissenting
twin has been bombarded, since recent
events in Palestine, with requests for
inviolable rule Of not giving inter-
views, Justice Brandeis remains 1ncom-
municado.
Sadao Saburi, well remembered In
washington as counselor of the jap
anese embassy before and during the

Just received one Of the highest dlplo-
matte appointments within his govern

apostle Of that program.
