Cheer Bukharin. As Bukharin, speaking on behalf of the Central Committee stepped to the platform, he was greeted by cries of “Long Live the Leninist Central Committee.” Characterizing the Opposition’s policy as “Neo-Menshevism,” Buk- | harin declared, “The Fifteenth Party | congress will put the question square- ly: either the Opposition must liqui- date their fraction and repudiate their ideas which are contrary to Bolshevism or the Party will push the Opposition aside and continue on its path toward Socialism. “The Party,” Bukharin continued, “has had enough of the Opposition and will no longer waste time with it. Urge Cultural Work. | In closing Bukharin urged the necessity of further developing cul- tural work, Lunacharsky proved Buk- harin’s statements and showed that the Soviet Union is the only country in the world where the schools have increased. The huge reduction in the number of illiterates is one of the best examples of the cultural achieve- ments of the Soviet Union. Mme. Krupskaya energetically con- demned whose policies, she declared, were inspired by personal motives and not the interests of the working class.

The fascists state offi- | cially that San Sebastiano has made « a full confession, declaring that his | acts were inspired by hatred of the | present tyranny. General Benciyenga, who was brought to the attention-of the fascist police by frequent mention of his name in San Sebastiano’s cor- respondence, is also reported to have confessed in full.

B) POWERS ASK THAT Want Strong Poland to Menace Soviet Union GENEVA, Nov. 22.—The govern- ments of Great Britain, France and Italy are reported to have made pressing requests that the Lithuanian government drop its recent appeal to the League of Nations concerning the mistreatment of Lithuanian nationals by the Poles. The three powers wish to support Poland as a buffer against the Soviet Union, at Lithuania’s ex- pense. The Lithuanian complaint grows out of the alleged arrests and depor- tations of Lithuanians and the clos- jing by the Poles of 48 Lithuanian schools, and a training school in Vil- na and Grodno. Polish countercharges that the Lithuanian white government has in- terned 28 Polish school teachers at Varnia, in Lithuania, is regarded as a pretext. Commenting on this “desperate ap- peal from the Varnia concentration camp to the Polish people,” the Polish educational organization at Kovno, Lithuania, states that it knows noth- ing about them. While there are un- questionably some Poles at Varnia, there seems to be no record of any school teachers among them. It is expected that Premier Walde- maras will “argue Lithuania’s case before the session of the League of/ Nations which opens here in Decem- ber and that the Polish foreign minis- ter Zaleski will also appear to state the Polish point of view.
