The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-01-04

On the basis of the following statement by
Mike Zalisko a young factory worker, the
District Committee of District No s readmit-
ted him into the Party:
In considering the present economic and
political situation in this country and interna-
tionally, the question arises in my mind as
to what the Trotzky opposition has to offer the
proletarian masses of the world in the solu-
ton of their problems and to fight COM
mon enemy-the capitalist class, successfully.
have come to the conclusion that it has
nothing to offer. First: because it bases its
entire future perspective on what will take
place in the U.SSR., Communist Party and
the Comintern" and thereby preferring to sit
in an easy chair with folded arms and await
the so-caled ''reshifting of the Gil. leadership"
whereby "Trotzky might become the leader of
the C.P.S.U. and the Communist International
Second: Because it is a narrow, isolated
sectarian movement infatuated with the
heories of the Proetarian Party las in Chi
cago) whose purpose is that of barking at the
door of the CT. instead of shouldering the
Bolshevik tasks in numerous struggles of the
workers along with the Communist Parties.
At present, the effects that are felt of the
naturalization drive of American capitalism
on the masses of workers, the sharpening i'm
perialist aggression of the American ruling
class philippines, Haiti, Nicaragua The ac-
tive participation of the masses in the struggle
of the mining, textile, and street-car railway
men New Orleans), and the widespread fer
ment and prospects for struggle in the autonio-
bile, shoe, oil, meat packing, rubber, and other
industries.
This, in my opinion is a sign for energetic
united Communist struggle and not for lot
of speculation and easy chairs.
The building of Socialism in the U.S.S.R.,
the great strides the Soviet economy and agri-
culture are making as exemplified by the sue
cessful carrying thru of the Five-Year Plan
will demonstrate that the Communist Party
of the Soviet Union and its leadership and the
Comintern are really the revolutionary leaders
of the world proletariat.
The success of the Socialist construction in
the Soviet Union will greatly intensity the
imperialist antagonism against Soviet Russia,
whereby an attack on the workers state will
be unavoidable. The American and British
imperialism are already threatening to crush
the only workers republic. The defense of
the Soviet Union is great task before the
Comintern and the Communist Parties as the
vanguard of all exploited masses.
Comrades: In view of these approaching
tasks of the CT. and the C.P.U.S.A., l find it
my duty as a revolutionary worker to sever
all connections with the Trotzky opposition and
to put my shoulder to the wheel along with
the Communist Party.
Therefore, / ask to be reinstated into the
ranks of the C.PsU.S.A. and / pledge myself
to abide by and carry out all decisions of the
Communist Party and Communist Internation-
al I also anneal To all those workers who
have been mslead by the illusions and all sorts
of hocus-pocus of Trotzkyism to disassociate
themselves from it, re-enter the Party, and
enter the struggle with even greater energy.
MIKE ZALISKO.
