Howeyer, he is a talented historian and revolutionary and we will not lose hope that his path will join ours. “Regarding the Czechcslovakian Opposition, it is necessary to be quite clear_on the matter soon. To'the best cf our knowledge, the Belgian Central Committee’s position is indefinitely baffer-like. Would it not be possible to have the Belgian Central Commit- tee publish our materials for the yarty’s knowledge? It is necessary to devote special ettention to Belgian, however, not relying’ upon the buffer of the Central Committee, but en- deayoring to create reliable support vmong the rank and file.

Ty conclusion we again take up the wuestign of one or two parties. We | ure against a second party and #gainst the Fourth International. From the viewpoint of the interna- | tional working ciass as a whoie, the Opposition would place itself in the hopeless position of a sect if it al- lowed itself to shift to a position of aévocating a Fourth International. The question is of that of winning cyer the Communist International. Nifferences are deep enough to justify the existence of a left fraction, but this fraction in s given period is a rgeans of influence on the Commun- ist Party.” The course of the second letter ad- dressed to a certain Peter said: “The fundamental task of the Opposition within the Communist International jons are to win over the Commun- ist Parties from within. It is not right to consider that Thermidor has taken the place of USSR. this would mean to facilitate it actually. Repudiate Thermidor. “The class forces have not yet spoken their decisive word, The pol- ivy of the International Opposition should be so directed so as to work together with the Oppcsition Com- } munist Party of the U. S. S. R. to prevent the further development of | the Thermidor and to reconquer the positions lost by the proletariat. “The petty bourgeois elements of the Communist Party of the U. S. S. K. are directing the Party and the State, but they are compelled to seek the support of the working class and te oppose world imperialism. How- ever the energetic onslaught of the hourgeoisie may cause a decisive left- wards shift within the Party. The Soviet Union, even under the given direction, plays a revolutionary part | of international scope. | “The existence of the U. S. S. R. ihroughout has been the source feed- ing the Chinese Revolution. The leadership of the Communist Party of the U. S. S. R. has doomed the Chinese Revolution to defeat. We must struggle against the leadership of the Communist Party of the U. S. §. R. without putting curselves in opposition to the U. S. S. R Admit J. 8. S. R. Production. “This refers to the Communist Harty of the U. S. S. R. and the Com- wunist International. If the Opposi- tion merely charges that the U. S. S. kh. is a bourgeois state and that the Communist Party of the U. S. S. R. and the Communist International are petty bourgeois parties, it will be- come a sect. “Communists of capitalist coun- tries must always. emphasize three moments: even under opportunist leadership, the Soviet States gives workers and peasants infinitely more than bourgeois states would give on the same level of productive forces; the main cause of the greatest inter- nal diffieulties of the U. S. S. R. is insufficient activity of the European proletariat and inadequate fighting capacity of the European Communist Parties; the European Sociai Democ- racy while malignantly rejoicing about the data on the internal difficulties of the U. S. S. R. bears the chief part of the responsibility for these diffi- culties. “With reference to the Red Inter- rational of Labcr Union Congress which opens March 15th we must do everything in order that the Opposi- tion delegates should attend the con- gress, pmepare special theses and practical provositions.

Lator Party Admits | Its Relief Act Bad SYDNEY, Australia (By Mail). — Mr. J. P. Lang, formerly premier of the New South Wales Labor govern- ment and other leaders of the Labor Party in that country now admit that the child endowment act the govern- ment placed on the statute book is not worth the paper it is written on and should be scrapped. When the endowment act was made law several prominent union officials and labor economists pointed out that by leaving the wage stationary and reducing the standard of living from a four-unit family basis to a 2-unit family basis, with separate endow- ment for children whose parents did not get above the ordinary minimum ; wage, the workers were being involved in an actual wage reduction, inas- | much as the endowment was only | payable to about 10 per cent of the workers.

The Com- mission which is to investigate the government of India for the purpose of recommending reforms contains no Indians. “When the boycott movement was at its height the Labor Party never backed it,” MacDonald stated, “it is not the way to get things done.

The Indian Statutory Commission which is to sail from Marseilles early this year, is headed by Sir John Simon, who won notoriety for his ef- forts to break the British General Strike last May. Resolutions calling for a huge gen- eral strike and boycott of the Com- mission, have been passed by the All- India Congress during its sessions at Madras. SERRB-ITALIAN PACT ENDS. ROME, Jan. 15.—The Italian peace pact with Jugo-Slavia has now ex- vired, it is officially reported. The announcement is a denial of the con- trary Vienna report. even now to begin preparations for the Communist-International Con- gress, prepare theses on all questions of the agenda so that these theses will be discussed on the platform. “The international Communist left Opposition will raise a large cam- paign regarding the members of the Opposition exeluded from the Party and regarding those deported from the U.

Following the publication of these |documents the Pravda published an | article headed “Sapping the Work of the Trotskyists.” The article says: “These letters expose before all Bolsheviks the conduct of the* Trot- skyists after the Fifteenth Congress. “The very first evident conclusion is that illegal work is being con- dueted along all lines contrary to all eaths and assurances giyen by the Opposition. Not a single day since the congress have the Trotskyists ceased their dirty anti-Party anti- Comintern work.

The Trot- |skyists brand Kamenev and Zinoviev os traitors because they submitted to |the Bolsnevik Congress. Naturally such characteristics onee more con- firm that the Bolsheviks are right in considering that the Trotskyists are themselves traitors to the working elass. There is actually no proletarian basis under Trotskyists, either in the U.S. S. R. or outside. “On the other hand their only re- liable support is proved to be and are ultra-right ‘anti-proletarian ele- ments in the camp of the renegades of the Communist International.

The state- ment by the authors of the letters that the energetic onslaught of the bourgeoisie may create a de¢isive leftwards shift, means in other words that if the hourgeoisie increases pressure, then the Opposition will {score some success. Such a way of "putting the question emanated from the theory in the ‘Clemenceau thesis.’ The Trotskyist.leaders fear most of all to remain foreyer a hopeless sect, This makes them careful about cer- tain questions, Thus they bashfully ayoid calling themselves a second | party although they, of gourse, are | such, | “From this viewpoint they hesitate to proclaim the slogan of the Fourth International, fearing the indignation of the western European proletariat. Trotskyists make reservation regard- ing Thermidor and are even willing to admit that the Soviet State gives more to the workers and peasants than would any bourgeois states. On the other hand nowhere do they say that the U. S. S. R. is not a bourgeois ate. Not a single word about so- list elements and growth of the | national economy of the U. S. S.
