sltion with our special standpoint.
"The letter of Trotzky TO the
Russian Workers is a shameful
document. The most important
point about it is that it justifies
any further shamelessness. If in
February, 1929, Trotzky had the
right to tell the truth in the bour-
geois press, why shouldn't he have
the right to do the same in all
the months. of this year and in
all the following years? If it is a
virtue to issue Lenin's works with
the money of the bourgeois press,
why should this virtue remain an
episode?
"That is the contents of this
document. What conclusion must
we draw from it? The first con-
clusion is: We must face the truth
and that is that they have dis
rupted the opposition and that we
have nothing in common with
them. Those who accept these
theses form a new party with a
special program (See Trotzky's:

b. In the question of the char
acter of the Soviet Power they
give a formulation which would
apply completely to the govern
ment of Scheidemann-Noske in
Germany or to the government of
the Labour Party in Great Britain.
The Soviet Power, they say, is
bloc of the reactionary workers
and the rural petty bourgeoisie,
having, however, a proletarian
basis, and therefore our attitude
towards it is reformist. Kerenski
and Tsereteli, however, also rep
resented bloc of the reactionary
workers and the village bour-
geoisie and they also had, up to
a certain period, proletrian. basis.
And nevertheless the bolshevists
did not conceive of reforming this
bloc! The government of Scheide-
mann-Noske in Germany or the
Macdonald government in Great
Britain also had proletarian
basis, but only the left wing So
cial democrats in Germany and
the LIP. in Great Britain took
up a reformist attitude to them.
@ In answer to the question
upon what lever the opposition
should throw its weight, Trotzky
answers: secret voting in the
Party and in the trade unions.
The theses regard this question
as subordinate and do not even
sum UP enough courage to reject
this counter-revolutionary slogan,
they only water it down.
d. With regard to the most
important question, the question
of cooperation in the bourgeois
press, which is equivalent to the
question Of whether everything is
permissible in the struggle against
Stain and the Soviet Power, they
answer, yes, everything is per-
MISSILE. In addition they propose
to make the opposition an asylum
for homeless Bolshevist Leninists.

"Anyone who says to these peo

support of the Party, is rejected
by these people. What sort of tone
these, our allies use towards us,

reason that we must make the
breach before and then attack as
our Bolshevist god commands. The
situation, has, however, further
consequences. We considered that
the opposition was the defender

Trotzky exposed himself rather
quickly outside the Soviet Union. It
would be difficult to find in the his
tory of our Party such sudden and
complete fall. That is a catastrophe
for those who bound up their fate
with Trotzkyism. We think that
they have now all come to their
conclusions about the attitude of
Trotzky abroad. A part of them
carried out their conclusions to their
logical end, others fear to admit even
to themselves and still more to 9th
ers that it is difficult for them to
Justify Trotzky's attitude without
violating their own political con-
science. OF course, we know that
amongst tire Trotzkyists there are
people who can sink still lower than
/ Trotzky himself. We might count
/ M. |. Muralov as one of these per-
sons. The letter spread by the
Trotzkyists in his name and ad
dressed to "Dear Vassil" provokes
very sad thoughts. This letter is
directed mostly against Radek and
/ Smilga). Muralov attempts to prove
that Smilga and Radek were wrong
to appeal to the tradition of the
Bolsheviks and of the left-wing of
the Second international when criti
cising the article of Trotzky in the
bourgeois press and that Marx and
Engels were supporters of the par
ticipation of socialists in the bour-
geois press.
"They (Smilga and Radek) do
not understand" writes Mura-
low, chat the situation in which
the bolshevists haG to abandon
any cooperation in the bour-
geoise press, was such that CO.
operation at the time would have
been damaging to the develop
ment of the class-consciousness
of the workers"
According to the opinion of Mura-
Low and his supporters therefore
cooperation in the bourgeois press
is useful and necessary for the ode
velopment of the class consciousness
of the workers" at time when the
dictatorship of the proletariat and
the Soviet Power exist, at time
when a widespread communist and
socialist press, and the organisa-
tions of the Comintern exist. Such
defence of renegacy cannot be
tolerated even by those who have re-
manned in the ranks of the Trotzky-
lists. No longer are individuals
breaking away from the Trotzkyists,
but whole groups. Every new de-
cision of the Party, and particularly
the decisions of the 18th National
Conference of the Communist Party
of the Soviet Union, hammers new
wedge into the illegal Trotzkyism
and compels those who have wan
dered into it's blind alley, to seek a
way out. People who worked to-
gether with Trotzky for years, such
as Radek, can no longer stand it.

NEW FORD RIDES EASY

One of the things for which the
new Ford car has already become
famous is its exceptional easy riding
qualities over rough roads. Many fact
ors contribute to this, especially the low
ratio Of inspiring weight to sprung
weight, the flexible transverse springs,
Houdaille hydraulic shock absorbers
etc., but perhaps none more than the
so-called torque tube drive. This
principle of taking the thrust from the
rear axle was first introduced into
automotive practice by the Ford
Motor Company on the Model T car
and has later been adopted on many
of the finest European and American
cars including the Lincoln. 10
The torque tube is metal housing
surrounding the driving shaft. It takes
the driving thrust from the rear axle
and carries it to the universal joint
housing, a point well forward on the
chassis so that the car is really pulled
rather than pushed over the road. This
construction also relieves the rear
spring of any function except that Of
supporting tle load. This permits the
leaves of the spring to be made hex-
ible and shackled at both ends, result
ing in free and normal action and
an easy absorption of road shocks.
Radius rods join the torque tube
at the forged steel housing of the
universal joint adding strength and
rightly, keeping the rear wheels in
perfect alignment, and further result
ing in improved riding qualities.

WHY APPLES scALD

Prompt cooling and low tempera-
lures of apples after picking are Of
prime importance in combating scald
one of the most serious storage and
market diseases of the apple, and
one that may be entirely unknown
to the grower. During the winter
months apples may reach the con-
cumer's hands before the scald APP
pears, and develop rapidly upon ex-
posure to warm air in the. home. In
the spring it is more, liable to
develop in transit or on the market.
Scald differs from all other apple di-
seases in that it is more prevalent on
the green side of the apple. Poorly col
ored and early picked fruit is ex-
tremely susceptible to the disease,
and well-colored, well-matured fruit
is more resistant. Aeratioh helps to
prevent the development of scald, be-
ing especially important when apples
are delayed in reaching storage. Stor-
ing the apples in hampers, ventilated
barrels, or baskets decreases the
chance Of sEald. The use of oiled
paper wrappers. says SthesaU.slS. De-
partment Of Agriculture, Is most
effective and practicable way to con-
troll scald. Shredded oiled paper also
is effective, if well distributed through
the package. Sgs 7cs

SENIOR CLASS TO GIVE PLAY

The senior class of the Hanford
high school will present the play,
"The Cousin from Coon Ridge
February 10 in the nigh school audi
torium.
The play is a farce concerned with
sorority and fraternity life in a typi-
cal Eastern college. The characters
are members of the much dicussed
younger generation" and furnish a
great deal of amusement with their
novel remarks and ideas. The plot is
simple, being comedy of errors. The
college beau, Ted Hampton, who is
quite fastidious about his girl friends,
receives the embarrassing news that his
mother has invited his cousin, whom
he remembers as fat and freckled-
faced, to accompany him to the junior
prom. The cousin, in the meantime,
to avoid the engagement with her
cousin, of whom she lshas unpleasant
memories, has agreedfto change identi-
ties with a dashing movie actress.
Ted and Gene Campbell, the athletic
hero at the college, come upon the
two girls and intensive results follow.
Iene also HndS MS mother, whom
he had long believed dead.
The part of the cousin is taken by
Bernice Griner; Bunny Moffatt pro-
trays the movie actress; John Heather
ington is the distinguished dandy,
and James Brown plays the hero,
Gene Campbell. Two college boys
are Lee Foster and Donald Griner,
while their sweethearts are Louise
Paschen and Edith De Rigio. Visitor
Heatherington is the tramp who brings
matters to climax in the second act,
while Jesse Burch takes the part OF
the rnatron Of the sorority house.
