STALIN’S \m TIGHTENED ON SOVIET REGIME Personal Supremacy of Dictator Affirmed by Skids Under Premier. J. L Piled Press BERLIN, Dec. 23.—The personal iprcmacy of Josef V. Stalin over the Soviet Union's proletarian dictatorship was affirmed this week with the elimination of leaders of the "right opposition'’ from high offices in the Conimunist state. A few weeks' after Stalin had . ’marked that he could not be described as "a dictator," he completed t-hc long-awaited removal of Alexei Rykoff from the premiership and the powerful political bureau, and thus recorded a second apparently crushing victory over personalities (rather than policies; who challenged his rule. Stalin's victory gave every indication of being merely another conquest of Communist leaders who clashed with him as did the energetic Leon Trotski, now in exile. After the death of Nikolai Lenin, founder of the Soviets, the previously little known Stalin clashed with Trotski, already a power, for leadership. Trotski Is Banished Ruthless and wily and backed by a thorough knowledge oi the iemi-Oriental attitude of Rufcsia, Stalin defeated the Trotski “heresy” and later calmly adopted the greater part of the banished Red army leader's policies. These policies, which were more extreme than the Stalin group was; supposed to have advocated, included intensification of the collectivization campaign among the peasants and more rigorous war on the Kulaks, or rich peasants. The fact that Trotakist policies were adopted after the exile of the "Heretical" leaders, served "so bring home of the oppositionists back into Communist ranks upon permission cf the Stalin group and put "The Man cf Steel” firmly in power. It resulted, however, in the creation of ! anew oppositionist faction. Suppressed by Stalin RykofT, Michael Tomsky and Nicholai Bukharin (all of whom have recanted and been shorn of power) were identified with the new * right opposition.” They opposed the speed with which Stalin was pushing the collectivization campaign, advocating moderation in converting the peasantry into a cc mmunist people and even delay—if necessary to lessen Miffering—in completion of the fiveyear industrialization plan which

Lead Fight for Beer

These two national legislators from Connecticut are urging congress to legalize the manufacture of 4'j per cent beer. Senator Hiram Bingham, right, and Representative Edward W. Goss, left, have introduced bills, similar in content, in the senate and house, respectively.

Stalinites demanded be achieved in four years. The opposition to Stalin was placed in the unfavorable position of holding, back the fanatically devoted followers of Communists and again Stalin methodically suppressed them—there were nationwide demands for their elimination last summer just before the party congress—and finally removed them from power. But again the power of the Kremlin adopted the "heretical" policies of the opposition. Long before RykofT was shoved down the ladder, a declaration by Stalin moderated the speed of the collectivization campaign, imposed severe penalties for any Soviet official using force against the peasants and generally followed out Rykofi’s ideas. But the clash of personalities already had occurred. The "man of steel”—quiet, determined, sly but not .even an official of the Soviet government—still sits in the Kremlin and RykofT is gone.
