STAIN FORCES
CRUSH RIGHT WING
Fate of Political Foes
Amounts to AnnihiIation-4
Leaders Confess Mistakes.

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, July All regular forces
within the Communist party yesterday
were active in crushing out the last
vestige of Right wing opposition.
Joseph Stain and his central COM
mlttee again have emerged triumphant
and with enormously enhanced political
prestige. The fate of Stains political
foes today amounted to political an
Inhalation.
Rykof, identified with Communism
for a decade and the holder of many
offices; Tomski, executive council men,
Der and agitator extraordinary; Ug-
lanov, commissar of labor and strong
man by his own right; even Bucharin,
! one-time editor of PraVda and Left
! Wing Central committeeman, all these
have gone down in the dust at Stains
| rect. This quartet, who, next to Leon
! IrotSKy, fought most vigorously against
the Central Committees policies and
| Stains leadership, have surrendered
| completely to majority rule within the
party.
Confessions Rejected.
Unity and organization apparently
never was stronger than ii is today.
Although Rykoff, Tomski and Uglanov
made the most abject recantations of
Congress rejected their confessions as
insincere, hypocritical and unSatisfac-
tory.
You are lying. Don't try to conceal
your mistakes" shouted one enraged
delegate, as Rykoff pleaded he always
had favored the maximum tempos Of in
naturalization.
In your speech at the Ural Com
muniSt Congress-" baWled another
Stain supporter, you declared that no
correct policy of the Central Committee
Party could guarantee us from a reStor-
alton of capitalism"
Rykof replied, 81 consider that state
ment absolutely correct. It corresponds
with the decision Of the Fourteenth
Party Congress"
Throughout their speeches Of retrac-
ton the three-Rykoff, Tomski, and
Uglanov-who resembled humble de-
PENDANTS on the witness stand, fire.
quently were interrupted with derisive
and sarcastic remarks, which clearly
showed they had not much chance OF
acquittal before such hostile audience.
Some of the speeches here" said
Rykoff, pathetically, seem to indicate
that you nistrust us and believe We con-
tinue our struggle against the Central
Committee secretly. Is it possible to
fight secretly against party Of 2,000,.
600 members?"
Cites Anti-Party Bloc.
But even this failed to gain the Soviet
prime minister the favor of the huge
gathering because another delegate
shouted, do you recollect a converse
ton between Bucharin and Kameneff,
and your attempts to create an anti
party bloc?"
Il never identified myself with
Bucharin'S act" humbly replied Rykoff.
But you knew about it. It was one
of your maneuvers," persisted the heck
ling delegate.
Leon Kameneff was acting premier
and third vice president of the party
and President of the Moscow Soviet in
1924 and had been powerful since the
revolution. His power had expanded
as had that of Bucharin.
1t remained for Comrade Kiroff, sec.
rotary of the Leringrad branch Of the
party, to express openly on the floor Of
the convention the attitude Of the party
as whole or the repentance of the
right wing leaders. ----.-,,--- -..-
Now that the central committees
program has been fully indicated by
events it is not difficult to admit ones
mistakes. Even Lloyd George regards
the f1ve-year plan as not only bold but
wise, and Henry Ford has issued state
ments to the effect that he regards the
