EDlIOh - NOIEs IN LnlS lubLdA-
ment of his speech before the four
teenth congress of the Communist
Party of Russia, l. Stain, secretary
of the Russian Party, declares en-
pnatically that anyone who accuses
the Communist parties Of the world
of individual terror must be either
ignorant or bribed. Stain also re-
views the tasks Of the Russian Com
munist Party as follows:
international Press Correspondence
MOSCOW, U. S. s. R., Dec. 1S-(By
A'A Mail) fTwo questions in our for
eign policy are particularly acute: a.
The question Of propaganda and, (2)
the question of the Communist Inter
national. The English conservatives
accuse the Russian Communists OF
wanting to destroy the British empire.
We need no special propaganda in
the west and in the east. The work
ers' delegations are reporting upon
our life and work in all the countries
of the west. That is the strongest
means of propaganda.
The peoples of the east know that
our order of society is built up upon
the brotherly harmony of all nations
Every Chinese, Egyptian and Indian
knows that we are the only country
which is prepared to assist his op
pressed country.
We need no further agitation and
propaganda in the east. Only one
force can and will destroy the Brit
ish empire. That is the English con
servatives and their policy of force
in Egypt, India and in China. The
English lords are incapable of any
other policy. That will be their doom
A FEW words upon the Comintern
4 Stain declared that any one who
accused the Communist parties of in
dividual terror must be either igno
rant or bribed. The theory and the
practice of the Comintern consists il
the organization Of the revolutionary
mass movement against capitalism
1t has rejected the individual terror
and it will always reject it.
Referring to the question of the
far east, Stain said: The forces o.
the revolutionary movement in China
are tremendous. China is faced will
the task of uniting itself in a nationa
state, just as at one time, Nortf
America, Italy and Germany were. We
stand for the freedom of China from
the imperialists. Japan also mus
reckon with the growing power of the
national movement in China.
GTALIN then proceeded to discus
~ sion of the questions of our party
| in connection with the world situa
ton. The tasks of the party are di
Yided into two categories: I'd The
field of the international revolutionary
movement. (2) The field of foreign
policy of the Soviet Union.
Upon the first field, we must worl
for the consolidation of the Commun
list Party in the west and for the con
quest of the majority of the working
masses. The strengthening of the
struggle of the proletariat of the ives
for trade union unity lies in the same
direction.
A firm connection must then b.
established between the proletariat O
the Soviet Union and the movement
for freedom in the oppressed coun
tries. The building up and consolida
ton Of the socialist elements in tn,
Soviet state are worthy of particula,
attention because our work of recon
struction has an international signifi
canoe. Our country is the basis O
the world revolution.
The tasks Of the party upon tn,
field of the foreign policy of the So
Wet Union are: the struggle agains
new wars, the struggle for the main
tenance of peace and the insuring o.
so-called normal relations with the
capitalist countries.
The basic axle of our politics is tn,
idea Of peace. For this reason W,
shall not enter into the league of ma
lions. Further, 1t is our task t,
widen our commercial relations upoi
the basis of a strengthening of tn,
monopoly Of foreign trade. Thirdly
we must seek for a closer contac
with all those countries whicl
emerged from the world war as tn,
vanquished. Fourthly, we mus
strengthen our contact with the col
onial and dependent countries. Thes,
are the tasks facing the party In con
nection with the question of our inter
national relations and the information
