The Trotsky question is not Rus-
SIGN question, but one that affects

important to knoa0 the platform of

The Opposition and Naturalization.

worsens the conditions of the work.
ing class, in so far as it is not ac-
companied by an expansion of indus
try, transport, ETC., that can absorb
the discharged workers. - Extract
from the Oppositicn's platform.)
The Party's Policy on Rationaliza-
ton.
1.-THE Socialist naturalization of
production, the improvement of the
technique and organization of pro-
duction' carried out by the prole-
tartan State, differs radically from
capitalist naturalization. The CAPT
talists place the whole burden of ra-
tionalization upon the shoulders of
the working class; with them it
leads to the frightening of the work
ing day, to an increase in unemploy-
ment, lowering of the standard of
living of the working class, and to
the impoverishment of large masses
of the toilers.
unlike capitalist naturalization,
Socialist naturalization aims at in
creasing the working class numeri-
cally, at raising its material and
cultural level, to satisfy the grow
ing requirements of the broad mass
es of the toilers, to strengthen the
link between the proletariat and the
peasantry and to lay down a materi-
al foundation for the further de-
velopment Of the Socialist elements
in our economic life.
"In those enterprises where or
ganizational and technical improve
ments in production have been
brought about, it is necessary to re-
wise piece-rates in accordance with
the results obtained by the improve
ments; but this revision should not
reduce the daily earnings of the
workers as compared with earnings
prior to the introduction of the inl-
provements; on the contrary, they
should render possible, with the III :
creased intensivity of labor, fur
Their increase in the workers wages"

SUBMARINE ID
 BE AT CAPITOL
Mighty Drama Of the Sel Offered on Yitlphone for Entire Week

Submarine" the De Luxe special, which is coming to the Capitol the- ater on Sunday for the entire week, is a composite of the most thrilling incidents in all the great submarine disasters of the past. It graphically pictures the conditions under which the rescuers work. the steps being taken by the government to safe guard the lives of the men in sub marine service. the conditions of the sailors entombed in & wrecked un- derwater craft and the efforts to get oxygen down to the vessel.
 The interior scenes were recon structed from actual descriptions by survivors. They are tense, dra- matic and pathetic. The captain trying to keep up the spirits of his men when he realizes that there is practically no hope Of rescue; the efforts of Graves, as an officer to entertain the men with card tricks and by telling fortunes; the pathetic scene of youth, who had

 Every newspaper reader recalls the horror of submarine disasters, the interest with which the public read descriptions and breathless- ness with which it awaited news of the rescue. Submarine" gives the summary of each of these in a most dramatic manner. It is real, convincing and illustrates just what occurs under water.

Barney, N. D., March 1-(AP)-
Today was big one for Barney's
big suds and razor man. The Whisk-
ers club which got under way two
months ago and which asked As a
requisite for membership that its
applicants retain their boards until
today, was going into the discard.
Ray Puetz, the towns sole bar
ber, was reaping the harvest of the
membership. At p. m. he had re-
stored 20 members to social good
graces and said that about 80 more
of the "boys" were left.
"I'll have to work far into the
night to catch up with them," he
said. And SO, far into the night the
Whiskers club will celebrate its
passing.
Puetz wasn't sure of the nature Of
the affair which will climax the
clubs existence. It won't be q dancc.

blowout" he said. /.

These are some Of the outstanding
points In the monthly survey Of busi-

February.
Most Of the roads except the main
highways have been blocked by snow
during the past two months, particu-
larly In the eastern part of the state,
resulting In slower business in the
smaller towns. In many counties
gasoline expenditures during Fcbru-
ary were virtually nothing. Small
town hotels report very few travelling
men running automobiles. but the
hotel business in the larger centers
has been fairly good.
With open roads during the next
month, more than normal increase
in business will undoubtedly result.
Spring grain sales, too, should add
impetus to retail business.

conferees in the dispute offered to
accept . $1,000. 900 increase in place
Of the $4,000. 900 previously voted.
The house has proposed m increase

Another conference was called for

there on the proposition.
After Senator Harris had won his
fight for $4,000. 900 in the senate, the
first deficiency bill In which 1t was
incorporated was abandoned. Pres

increase Of $2.724,O00. The house ac-
