The local resolutions, says Pravda, not only refer to the last warning to the opposition, but in accordance with the entire line taken by the central committee and the central control- ling commission contain appeals to the rank and file of the workmen in the opposition who still continue to follow their leaders who have failed, to bethink themselves and return to the party’s position. The opposition led these partisans of its thru a blind alley to the very edge of the party. They were already directly threat- ened with the prospect of becoming a tool in the hands of hostile class powers alien to the proletariat, which are waylaying the opposition around the corner and calling it from the ranks of the party. Many workmen in the opposition, recognizing this danger, have already left it. Tries For Unity.
