MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., Dec. 19.-By
4'A MaiD-In a speech lasting five
and a half hours, Comrade l. Stain,
secretary Of the Communist Party Of
Russia spoke in the name of the CEN
trail committee of the Russian Com
munist Party at its fourteenth con-
gress here at the Kremlin in part as
follows:
First of ALL the following upon the
international situation: The most
decisive factor in the international
situation of the Soviet Union is the
creation of a certain provisional bal
ance of power between our country,
the country of socialist reconstruc-
ton, and the capitalist countries.
"The capitalist world is no longer
strong enuf to suppress the Soviet
Union and this is the reason for the
period of, so to speak, the peaceful
existence of-the Soviet Union to-
gether with the bourgeois world.
This is caused by the internal weak
nesses Of world capitalism, by the
growth of the revolutionary working
class movement in general and by the
strengthening of the Soviet Republics
in particular.
TIME weakness of the capitalist
L world comes from five contradic-
tions which are insoluble for capital
ism: % From the contradiction
between the proletariat and the bour-
geoisie in the capitalist countries. az
From the contradiction between i'm
perialism and the movement for ma
tional freedom in the colonies and in
the dependent countries. 90 From the
contradiction between the victorious
and the defeated states. (4) From the
contradictions among the victorious
states themselves, and 81 From the
contradiction between our Soviet
land and the capitalist countries.
with regard to the first contradic-
ton, capitalism is in a state which
we characterize as a partial, a pro-
visional sterilization, that is to say,
in a state where the productive and
financial chaos is partly overcome
in comparison with the immediate
postwar period, and in a state where
the political strength of the bour-
geoisie is comparatively strengthen
ed"
CTALIN presented rich statistical
- material upon the state of produc-
ton in the capitalist countries which
have almost reached or which have al
ready reached the prewar level of pro-
duction. He said: Most countries
have in one way or the other succeed
ed in balancing their budgets, but at
the cost of the working population
which has suffered terrible increase
in the load of taxes which it must
bear.
After the period when the revolu-
tionary tide was at its food at the
time of the postwar crisis, there ex-
lists in Europe today an ebb. The
question Of the conquest of power is
not a topical question in Europe, at
present we are experiencing a period
in which the proletarian forces are
mobilizing. This is period of great
significance in relation to the creation
