Copy of a reply handed to Tria on January 12, 1915

Dear Citizen, Tria has passed on to me your letter of December 28, 1914.

You are obviously mistaken. We take the stand of international
revolutionary Social-Democracy, and you of the national bourgeoisie. We are
working to bring together the workers of various (and particularly
the warring ) countries, while you evidently are moving nearer to
the bourgeoisie and the government of “your” nation. We are on different
roads.
