Opportunists, and Renegades Fall by
the Wayside

at one time was the center of a bit
ter controversy in our Party. After
the Infamous Palmer Red Raids in
1920, we were driven underground.
Not having enough experience and
not being strong enough at the time
we failed to fight our way bacz into
legal existence. We developed the
idealology that it was impossible to
function legally. This idealology
continued despite the fact that the
conditions have changed and that
the legal existence of the Party was
obviously possible. Some of the
comrades, leaders of the Party at
that time, like Lindgren, Ketterfeld
and others, failed to understand the
correctness of the Comintern de-
cision on this question; they were
unable to see the changed condi-
tons. They raised the cry of the
degeneration of the Comintern, pre-
dicted short life and all sorts of
calamities for our Party and
clamored that we were turning
back from Communism to social
democracy. These comrades quit the
Party and the labor movement.
They fell by the wayside and are
forgotten, while the Party has
since travelled long way on the
road to Bolshevisation.
The Labor Party was another big
issue in our Party. In our cam

three years in Jail for his strike ac-

however, was able to detect this

who today is followed, tomorrow
may be without a following. He

volutions is full of examples of
rapid change, the failure of certain
persons to keep pace with that
change, and the rapidity and re-
morselessness with which history
sweeps them aside"
These words written by none
other than Bert Wolfe, when he
was still in our Party and IN the
Comitern, in his pamphlet, "The
Trotsky Opposition" are true to-
day, as they were at the time the
pamphlet was written and pub
lished.
History is full of such examples,
and our Party is not an exception.
During the ten years of it's ex-
istence, our Party has gone through
many changes, moving from social
democracy to Bolshevism. Many of
these changes, had to be made
rapidly. Some persons, many of the
leaders, some of whom have even
served Jail sentences for their ac-
tivities in the movement, have failed
to keep pace and were swept aside
and are by this time completely
forgotten. Some Of these leaders
are openly fighting the Party and
the Comintern at the resent time,

its agents in the labor movement.

The reorganization of the Party
on the shop nucleus basis and other
important steps taken by the Com
intern toward the bolshevisation of
our Party could not be understood
by the social democratic elements in
the Party. Some elemetns, like
Lore, Askeli and others could not
keep pace with the changed condi-
tions. They raised the cry of the
degeneration of the Comintern and
of our Party, of the ruin of the COM

sorts of ruinous results for the
Party. They soon found themselves

gether with the rest of the social

However, while the Party was

be slow in grasping the real sig

decisions of the Congress, we were

 "Sec. 4. That it shall be un- lawful to fish for, take, or kill any salmon of any species or by any means except by hand rod, smear, or gaff in any of the creeks, streams, or rivers of Alaska; or within five hundred yards of the mouth of any such creek, stream, or river over which the United States has jurisdiction, excepting the Kar- luk and Ugas11ik Rivers; Pro- vided.

 Here is the true history of the case, the facts of which I have confirmed by much correspond cnce with residents of Yakutat.
 Tn the fall of 1927 two white men, Jens Hansen and Walter Thayer, who reside with their families at Yakutat, took from AnkoW Inlet Gan area closed to commercial flShing) 62 salmon for domestic use which they salted for winter. They did this as they believed, in strict com- pliance with the law, but were afterwards appre h n d ed by Warden Pryde.

United States Board of Tax Appeals,
and as a result will have to pay delin-
quent income taxes upon only about
100000 instead of 1924, 327.30.
The case involved failure of Heifetz
to list for taxation during the years of
1919 to 1924 the sum Of $124,237.30
paid to his father and $4,000 paid to
his mother for their services to him.
The board held that the payments were
more in the nature of gifts, but ruled
that his fathers service was worth
$4,000 during the fiye-year period, and
his mothers $62 900, thus relieving him
of payment upon $134,000 assessed by
