of new forms of the proletarian move
ment thru the existence and the
growth of a mass movement under
the banner of the struggle for trade
union unity. This struggle has deep
revolutionary significance not the
least Of which is the establishment Of
a firm connection between the work
ing class movement Of the west and
the working class movement of the
Soviet Union, as seen in the left move
of the English working class move
ment, the decay of Amsterdam, etc.
1--WE are experiencing an accumula-
ton Of the proletarian forces which
has a gigantic significance for the fu-
ture revolutionary actions. We are
experiencing a period in which the
slogan of the Communist movement is
for the conquest of the proletarian
mass organizations, such as the trade
unions.
STALIN stressed the fact that finan-
~ cial power in. the capitalist world
has moved its centers from Europe to
America, and that the latter is now
the only country with any significant
export of capital to show. He said:
1.-THE provisional sterilization of
European capitalism has chiefly been
achieved with the aid of American
capital at the cost of a financial sub
ordination of Europe to America.
Europe is seeking salvation by in
creasing the burden Of taxation and in
worsening the situation Of the work
ing class. In connection with ap-
preaching payment of debts and in
terest upon debts, the load of taxation
in most countries will increase, the
material situation of the European
working class deteriorate and the lat
ter become revolutionary.
1.-THE symptoms of this are already
to be seen in England and in other
European countries. Even should the
economic level of Europe reach that of
the prewar period, and this is not i'm
possible, nevertheless, capitalism will
never achieve the prewar stability, for
Europe has purchased its provisional
sterilization by financial subordina-
ton to America and with an increase
of the load of taxation in the countries
of Europe.
"The number of the most important
exploiting countries has been reduced
to minimum, it is limited to the
