Let us take the question of capital investments
in indusry, which, as you all realize, is of ire
mendous Importance in the carrying out of the
policy of characterization. In their counter
thesis to the thesis of our c. c. on the Five
Year Plan. the TrotzkySts wrote the following:
DO they Cthe thesis furnish an independent
plan for the solution of the main question in
regard to capital investments in industry? No
And they thereby help TO bring about that, in
practice, the anti-proletarian tendencies tri-
umph more and more in the main question of
the relations between the socialist and CAPT
talist elements in our economy"
1t followed from the Trotzkyist platform that
the thesis Of the Party on the Ffve-Year Plan
led to the triumph Of the anti-proletarian ten
dencies"l Does it not sound ridiculous when one
reads this nov, four years afterwards?
What was said by the Rights regarding the
tempo Of capital investments in industry? They
said. true in somewhat confused form, but
nevertheless with a clearly outSpoken political
tendency, something to the following effect:
"One must not view the matter as if invest
nents in industry would increase the whole
time In geometrical progression until the COM
ing OF Communist society. descent in the
curve Of investments is also conceivable"
In a word, the Rights slipped down curve.

LIST us now take that which relates TO the
viIlsge. What did the counter-thesis of the Trot-
zkyist opposition say on the policy of the Party
in the village7 1t said the following:
'The thesis Of the C. G. quite wrongly lump
together capitalism in the town and capitalism
in the village when they maintain that agra
rian capital develops only absolutely In actual
fact capitalism in the village is growing rela-
lively as well as absolutely; it is growing with
great rapidlty and increases every day the de-
pendence OF the Soviet State and its industry
upon the sources of raw material and exports
in the hands Of the well-to-do kuaks in the
village"
1t further stated
There Is taking place rapid growth of the
capitalist elements in agriculture on the basis
OF sn1all-commodity production. Hence, there is
an increase in the dependence of the state
economy ON the kulak- capitalist elements in
the sphere OF raw materials, export and stocks
OF food" Emphasis in the Originally

with thorough analysis Of these Trotzkyst
declarations. Ask our kulaks now after three
years Of the Five-Year Plan, whether we are
greatly dependent upon them, or whether they
are more dependent upon the Soviet power

On the other flank, the Rights, it was re-
peated day after day that ''the most important
source OF grain will sill for a very long time yet
be the individual farms OF the peasants and
that therefore one must be more cautious in
proceeding to the attack on the kulaks. AS is

At the same time, from the other, from the
Right flank, we could hear whining voices say
ing the trouble is that everything we build all
these factories and works, may soon fall into the
hands of the whites" Perhaps some sillySwhites
hoped something Of this sort, but the greater
their hopes the greater has been their disillu-
sonment. According to its nature this was
repetition of the Trotzkyist Thermidor only in
another form. AS is known the Rights did not
even shrink from accusing the Party of %feudal-
military exploitation of the peasantry', there
by repeating the ISLANDERS of Ndiljukovs followers
against the feminist Party.
The above-quoted extracts from documents
and speeches of Trotzkyists and Rights indicate
the most characteristic elements Of their po-
litical platforms. The fiasco of these platforms
is so obvious that we now answer the declara-
tions they made then simply with smile, but
at that time the Party had to conduct the most
stubborn fight against the opportunsts of the
Left and Right variety.

and a Catholic missionary who spent four years
in Hupeh Province where tthe Chinese Red
Army is now drawing an ever Tightening net
around the important industrial and strategic
Central China city Of Hankow
Ranaghsn not only admits that Communism
is sweeping China, but he Is forced to admit
that the leftWsrd trend of the Chinese masses
Is based on their actual experience that where
the Communist movement has triumphed in
China 1t has freed the Chinese masses from the
terrible oppression and starvation which had
been their Lot under the rule of tbs imperalists
and their Kuomintang tools. He says:
Communism, because 1t is giving the Chin
csc masses better living conditions than any
of their governments, isspreading like wild
fire In China"
He speaks Of the constant wars between The
Chinese militarists "over the division Of the
spoils" and the disgust OF the masses with the
militarists whom, he, OF course, neglects to ex-
plain are tools, like himself of the foreign i'm
periahsts. He then reviews the growth of Com

place and therefore it is not necessary for me
to say more on this point.
But the chief matter finally consists in what
the Left, and the Right opposition said re-
garding the perspectves of the proletarian revo-

was elaborated the cowardly petty idea of the

we have outlined for the second
