argument underwent certain (
towards the Union of Soviet
immutable.
And yet, observed Chicherin, the or
iginal line Of argument as to the i'm
possibility of economic relations with
the Soviet Republics, in view of the
latter allegedly presenting but an eco
nomic vacuum" has been entirely
broken by the development of Soviet
exports-grain, in particular, as well
as cotton imports from America. AS
for the state secretary's assertion re-
garding a would-be lack of personal
safety in Soviet territories, this has
been refuted by the Americans them
selves, as, for instance, by ARA" rep
resentatives and a number of United
States senators.
Arguments olaring Makeshlft.
Any reference to the activities of
the Comintern Third (Communist) In
ternationaD, the responsibility for
which is being laid by Hughes on
the Soviet government is, but a glar-
ing makeshift. Indeed, does the state
secretary or, for that matter, anyone
else hold Macdonald responsible for
any actions Of the Second information
al? And yet, previous to the war
when the latter organization was en-
gagged in revolutionary and particular
ly in anti-militaristic work, while its
leaders were often members of gov
ernments in various states-no one
ever dreamt Of proffering such charg-
es against those governments.
AS matter Of fact, the Communists
in the Union of Soviet Socialist Re
publics who are on the STATS of gov
eminent organs are busy with state
affairs, while party organizations car
ry on party affairs, very much in the
same way as the republican party of
the United States is engaged in party
work outside Of their government bust
ness. None but political ignoramuses
can find anything to say against this
manner of mutual relations between
the party and the state, long since es
tablished in all civilized countries
between the Communist Party and the
government in regard to the Comm
tern, which is an international body,
of which the Russian Communist Par
ty is but one of the many constituent
parts. Under such conditions any at
tempt at ascribing to the Soviet gov
eminent or its representatives abroad
the role Of organs of the Comintern
is but fragrant and wanton misin
formation of public opinion.
Hughes Is Servant of Capitalists.
The difference between the Soviet
government, which serves the inter
ests of the toilers, and Hughes admin
istration, which is the servant of
the magnates of capital, does not
mean that some compromise between
them is not feasible.
Just the reverse is true, declares
the peoples commissar of foreign af
fairs. The Anglo-Soviet treaty indeed
evidences that mutually profitable
deals are possible in the question of
debts, the cancellation of which
Hughes processes to consider as an
unsurmountable obstacle to the re-
sumption of relations with the Union.
The real obstacle, however, lies in
the state secretary's unwillingness tc
admit that equality of rights is pos
sib1e between two opposite economic
regimes and in his desire to destroy
the Soviet regime.
Personlfies World Reaction.
Then, proceeding to communicate
numerous and detailed data, with ref
erence to authentic sources, on Hughes
many years activity as a lawyer in
the interests of Morgan, the Standard
Oil Co., and other trusts, to the detri-
ment of public interests - Chicherin
points out to the fact that it is from
Hughes past that his present govern.
mental activities have been inherited
under which members of the American
government are involved in the oil scan
DIAL, while Morgan's interests are plac.
ed higher than anything else. Indeed
further states Chicherin, Hughes is a
personifcation of world reaction and
NNof aggressive American Imperialism
which is now rapidly returning into
the sphere OF world politics.
The temporary solution by the Lon
don conference OF the main difference
es Of European politics has enabled
the imperialistic powers to act jointly
against the colonial peoples, which are
emancipating themselves, and also
directly or indirectly against the I'm.
Ion OF Soviet Socialist Republics.
