of American Imperialism without any
rights Of its own.
~
THUS, American l. perialism, which
i since the war has generally
shown tendency to conquer new
colonies, is now receiving new I'm
pulse to increase its activity. The ag-
gressiveness of American Imperialism
in Africa and Asia will necessarily
grow. This circumstances will newt
ably lead, and is already leading, to
conflicts with other imperiaiist rob
bers who have divided up the colonies
of the whole world amongst them.
selves. In the Far East, tho efforts a.
expansion of American imperialism
clash with the interest of Japan, n
the Near East they encounter IN tbs
first place frances interests GnA
finally, in Liberia; those OF England.
The increasing bellicosity Of Amar-
lean Imperialism which intenaifiea the
world conflicts, involves the danger
of new wars. For this reason thu
working masses Of the Soviet Union
and of the whole world must carefully
follow the activities of the imperial
lists and of their fights among them
selves. In this connection Il should
not be forgotten that the conflict OF
interests between the imperiaIiat
powers is a powerful ally Of the So
Wet Union. Looked at from this stand
point the increase Of the activity IN the
colonial policy OF American imperial
ism. which intensifies the contradic-
lions, implies that the creation OF an
imperialist united front against the
Soviet Union and against the nation
al revolutionary movement in the col
onies and semi-colonial countries VIII
become more difficult.

good long time For the time being
they have postponed the question of
exercising military pressure against
us. Now they see that we have COM
pleted our economics tasks, that our
economic position improves from year
to year, that our forces are constantly
increasing and that, if they do not
succeed in putting stumbling block
in our way, we shall be, in a few
years, if not the richest, at any rate
one Of the richest, the most united,
energetic and self-confdent countries
Of the whole world.
To Strange Soviet Union.
"This prospect must alarm those
states whose power is based on the
oppression of colonial peoples. 1t is
not difficult to see that the idea of
a war which would disturb our further
development is based on the view
that the Soviet Union must be strang-
led before it finally gets on its feet
and collects its forces We must not
regard our enemies as fools, they are
extremely clever when it is question
of defending their class interests, and
they see that every month lost may
prove fatal to them.
why do the capitalist countries
not try to attack us at once?
Mainly because they cannot agree
amongst themselves. Locarno is the
first attempt TO come to an under
standing which is to open the way
thru Germany to the frontiers of So

Fire of Mysterious
Origin Destroys Two
Story House, Bath

Especial to Kennebec JournaI)
Bath, Dec. SIN the small hours
of Wednesday morning the Bath fire
department was called to the south
end of the city to battle a blaze that
was well underway in a vacant two
story wooden dwelling in the Winne-
gance community.
The fire had made startling head
way, and 1t was doubtful at one
time If the dwelling could be saved.
The flames which were shooting
from the upper story were confined
to that section, and after two hours
battle the fire was under control, but
the entire upper story of the building
was destroyed.
The origin of the fire is as deep a
mystery as has stirred this vicinity
for many days. There are no inn
mediate neighbors, and it is several
hundred yards removed from other
houses. When discovered the fire
was well underway, and the local fire
chief is at loss as to an explanation
of the cause.
The house Is owned by r. A. Ham,
ilton Of this city and was vacated
about a month ago.
