A Reuter telegram frm Moscow says that according- to a report issued by the official' Tass Agency, tbe big debate at the Pan-Russian Communist Conference ended, af--r a concluding speech by M.

The resolution added that whereas the atartlng-polnt of the Communist party was that everything necessary and adequate for Socialist construction existed in the Union of Soviet Republics. Trot skyism, on contrary, started from the point ot view that the really successful development ot Socialist economy would only be possible after the victory of! the proletariat tnthe principal countries ox Europe.
