The Moscow correspondent of the Daily News reports a remarkable
speech by M. Stalin, President of the Political Bureau of the Communist International. As the correspondent , says, M. Stalin has brought his fight against the Right into the open. The most .powerful man in Russia, the man who was mainly responsible for the banishment of Trotsky, evidently feels strong enough to . make -admissions. He . admitted- that the battle within the Communist party had been raging since February when requisitions of grain were made for the first time since- the great famine years. He denied, however, .that the Right had partisans in the Political Bureau itself. He next pointed out that the Right tendencies were not the result of personal intrigue but were a " direct consequence of present conditions." " We can remove these people," he said, " but that will not get rid of the danger."
