market, l. e. due to temporary state
of equilibrium between industry and
agriculture, between East and West.
This period of prosperity was Of short
duration. 1t lasted only two years.
Then, since last year this period OF
prosperity came to halt and became
unstable-and in the spring of this
year there could be noticed sure
symptoms of an industrial crisis fol
lowing in the footsteps of most Sc
we're agrarian crisis which hit hard
the agricultural parts of the United
States. And, as 1t always happens in
such cases, this crisis gave new
impetus to American Imperialism as
a result Of which financial capital OF
the United States has sent its repre-
sentatives to Europe In order to finish
the business which was begun with
the imperialist war and was pursued
thru the peace treaty at Versailles,
i. e. the business of the economic
subjugation and enslavement Of Eu-
rope.
A Plan to Put Europe on Rations.
What does American capital seek,
what is it aiming at? 1t seeks, we
are told, to reestablish the European
markets for the Europeans to enable
Europe to pay her debts. But how,
by what means and to what extent?
American capital does not want to
create competitor for itself out Of
Europe. American capital will not al
low England, still less Germany or
France, especially Germany, to re-
gain their old world markets. 1t
needs the entire world for itself,
since American capital has reached
the stage Of self-export, i. 9. Ameri-
can capital is now exporting both
products and capital. American capt.
tai is seeking world domination and
wants to establish an American inn
perialist monarchy on our planet.
But what about Europe? We are
told that American capital wants to
pacify Europe. But how? Under it's
mean? 1t means that American CAPT
tai will allow Europe to recuperate
provided it does so within certain
prearranged limitations, i. e. Ameri-
can capital will allot Europe only GER
tain limited portions of the world
market. American capital is already
giving orders, debating to European
diplomats. 1t is preparing also to die
tate to European banks and trusts,
to the bourgeoisie of Europe as a
whole. 1t is moving in that direction.
American capital will alIot markets,
will regulate the activity of the Eu-
ropean financiers and industrialists.
If we should clearly and plainly
answer the question as to what Am
erican capital wants with Europe, we
shall have to say that it wants to
put capitalist Europe on rations. 1t
means to dictate to Europe the kind
of products and how many pounds,
litres and Kilograms of such products
she has right to buy and sell.
Already in the theses to the Third
Congress Of the Comintern we stated
that Europe was being Balkanized.
Now this comparison is even more ap-
parent. The governments of the Bal
kan peninsula have always had their
protectors: Tzarist Russia or Austria
Hungary. Their entire political life,
such as change of ruling parties and
even change in dynasty lin Serbia)
was centered around and was subject
to the will of their powerful protec-
tors. Now Balkanized Europe is be-
ing reduced to a similar position in
relation to the United States and
partly Great Britain.
In the measure in which the an
tagonisms among the European gov
ernments will become more acute,
they will be found knocking at the
doors of Washington and London.
The final say in such matters as a
