Here the dangers of such internal fighté as that of the Trotsky-Zinoviev opposition against the central commit- tee of their party are demonstrated by an undeniable example, Comrades Trotsky and Zinoviev, as the leaders of the struggle against the leading committee of the Bolshevik Party, were the force upon. which counter- revolution within and without Russia pinned its hope for a defeat of that party and consequently of the prole- tarian revolution. This was not the selection of Comrades Trotsky and Zinoviev, but it is the result of the ob jective situation. Comrades Trotsky and Zinoviev saw their error. They gave up their de- structive struggle. And on the very day when the long-expected and wel- comed news arrived of Trotsky’s and Zinoviev’s submission \to the revolu- tionary discipline of their party East- man explodes his stench bomb of “rev- elations.” Arm in arm with the New York Times and the United ~ Press, Eastman challenges the leaders ‘of Revolutionary Russia to give justice.

Let us hear what members of this opposition have to say about St. George Eastman. Eastman, the Monstrous. Krupskaya, writing about Eastman’s “defense” of Trotsky last year, says: “Eastman writes monstrous things.” “Eastman knows nothing.” “Eastman invents fiction.” ‘“Eastman’s writings insult Trotsky.” “Eastman perverts the truth.” And Trotsky declares of Eastman’s “defense” of him: “Eastman’s asser- tions are untrue.” “Eastman’s asser- tions are based on fantastic rumors.” “Eastman is wrong.” “Eastman sneers with vulgar aplomb.’ “Eastman com: mits calumnies on the leaders of our party.” lieve Eastman.” Let us go further into Eastman’s motives. He is activated, he says, bY his love for democracy. It is for this love that he appeals to the New York Times and the United Press.* It is*for this love that he pockets the fat fee which he received for his ‘mental ex crements on the Russian Communist Party. But the Russian Communist Party has ovérwhelmingly repudiated Trotsky and Zinoviev. In the exer- cise of their inner party democracy the workers organized {n the’ Russian party have declared in overwhelming numbers that they stand with thé ‘cen- tral committee of their party. This makes it clear that Eastman ‘is not appealing to democracy in the Russian party against the central committee. He is appealing to the capitalists of ER SENATOR REED “No sincere worker will be- | TOINVESTIGATE INDIANA SLUSH _K.K.K.

Perhaps thig angle of the in- | vestigation may be outside the range of Reed’s power but there are many | ways of killing a dog besides shooting {him with hot air. | Locally the chief interest in yester- day’s quiz was in the sweating pro- cess administered to leaders of the anti-saloon league, tough-looking birds they were, who would seem to be more at home, on the saw-dusted floor of a barroom than in the tabernacle of an evangelist.

Apparently, Eastman thot that the Russian workers were flocking in great throngs to Trotsky’s banner but the facts speak otherwise. On the very day that Trotsky capitulated to the. Centra] Committee of the Russian Communist Party, admitting that he was wrong, Max broke into the New York Wimes ‘with the “whole, sole and true account” of the struggle between Trotsky—whom he turns into a pink Horatio Alger—and the political canni- bal, Stalin, at the head of a murderous central committee, : see eae us hope Max got his fee in good time, else the New York Times might withhold it on the ground that Max was a false prophet. No doubt thevayerage” American reader would expeet-that-no party could withstand an attack from such a group of promi- nent leaders, as Trotsky and his fol’ lowers ‘represénted. But it appears that this Russian party of over a mil- lion does its own thinking and. will not follow a leader merely because he has* done. noble .service in the past.
