Maintenance of Unity To the Editor of the "Nortu-Curwa Dany News"
Sm.—Mr. Braixovsky in your issue of March 2, calls.the attention of the public to the fact that the present purge in Soviet Russia has gone to the extent of "prosecuting the dead," Menjinsi he asserts, are charged, and the uncomplimentary tirade against the "pro-securing tyrants"—follows, with rather hastily made argument!
The fallacious comment of the author of the letter is obvious, He simply did not read his morning paper in full or probably he was ioo excited when he saw the heading "New Purges in U.SS.R."
There are no charges against the deceased, Mr. BRAIKOVSKY, on the contrary ihe charges are made against the men, and apparent oppositionists, who have caused the premature death of the three: Menjinsky, Kuibysheff and Maxin Gorki, Who all happened to be real trusted men of the masses, have always been above a shade of suspicion as regards their party merit, and their achievements the Revolutionary days have always been an example for the party masses.
Now about the purge proper: when a body sustains a cut and the cut swells itself into an ulcer the latter is usually removed. Much to the ignominy of Mr. Brarkovsky it happens to be now in Russia, Since the party maintains one and only one line—the barriers standing in its way are hastily removed.
The congregation of notables including Bukharin, Yagoda, Bakovsky, etc, goes for a trial for betraying the concord, bringing dissent into the unity of the party, its ideals dictated" by Lenin and correctly followed by Joseph Stalin, who has brought into the areas of international recognition, industrialization and military might—the sixth part of the world. "Dictato: ship of Stalin is a popular team expressed to-day abroad, but the fascist countries alone should have the distinction of retaining the same crown, for in the country where the government belongs to labour and peas-entry combined and the subdivision into "classes" is a thing of the past—the "dictatorship" term "does not Git.
Government of the proletarian headed by its reorganized leader Stalin, is the right definition.
And no matter what the comments of the various gifted columnists abroad may and will be, regarding the purges—one fact remains: if a tendency of certain individuals arises against the free-flowing current of ihe masses, these individuals are io be severely dealt with for the maintenance of unity,. which is a watchword in U.S.S.R. of to-day.
