of the All-Russian executive of the
Trotzkyists, the material of these
comrades was not published, be-
cause Radek-who has lately pub
lished book and a quantity of
other NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Trotzky
as a Menshevik, especially in re-
gard to the Chinese question;
Preobrashensky and Smilga sup
port Radek's statements concern
ing the Chinese question. For this
reason the All-Russian Trotzky
executive is not in position to
send this material, and it will not
be distributed, as it does not CORE
spond to the theology of the Len
inistic Opposition"
Oh, defenders of the purity of
Trotzkyism! How beautiful is your
democracy within the party!
Again, in Dnjpropetrovsk, the
workers G. Wlassov, S. Gaponov, G.
Mogilevich, Michel, declared that
they have broken with the Trotzky-
lists, because it is now clear to all of
them that the Trotzkyist Opposition
is counter-revolutionary.
In Charkov, the declarations of
the workers N. Illinski, W. Sachar-
enko and 0. Simanovich were pub
lished on March 18th, 1929, in the
"Charkovski Proletarij."
In Tiflis twelve comrades, mostly
workers, and some of them more
than Is years in industry, have
broken away from the Opposition.
In Saratov, letter signed by six
comrades, who have broken with
Trotzkyism, has been received by
the editorial department of the
"Povolskaja Pravda." They are all
workers of the street parks. In this
case, too, it is workers who are leav-
ing Trotzky.
Many Other Declarations.
Dozens of other declarations have
been received from individual Trot-
zkyists. We are convinced that the
movement will not cease at this ini-
tial stage. The more the "leaders"
of the Opposition confine themselves
to analysis and introspection, the
less chance they will have of doing
anything else as individual intellec-
tuals, which many of them are.
1t is comprehensive that we must
deal thoroughly with these declara-
tions of former Trotzkyists. We de-
mand definite and complete sever
ance from the Opposition, I'M
reserved fulfilment of the resolu-
tons of the XIV. Party Congress con-
corning the Opposition; we must
help the waverers and not drive them
away, especially if they are work
ers, if they are people who have been
valuable comrades in the past, and
if we are convinced that they really
wish to return to the Party in order
to make good their mistakes and
serve the Party.
At the same time, the fight
against Trotzkyism should not lose
its intensity. On the contrary, on
the grounds of the whole develop
ment made by Trotzky and those
who followed him, we must fight
still more determinedly against the
Trotzky atmosphere. In the
ideologic fight against the anti
Party tendencies, determination is
the best guarantee against an oppor-
tunistic conciliatory attitude towards
opponents, and that is the only
proper attitude in regard to devia-
tons towards the Right or towards
the Left. We must fight against the
Trotzkyist elements, who are build
ing up their organization, just as we
would fight against any other illegal
anti-Soviet group. But the Party
must not turn it's back on those who
break with the TrotEkyists and re-
turn to the Party. The resolution of
the XIV. Party Congress is still valid
and the Party need not depart from
this resolution t4p
