MOSCOW, o. S. S. R., Feb. 25-(By
4NA Mail) 1.-The ninth session of the
Enlarged Executive Committee of the
Communist International began today
IN the evening under the Craftsmanship
of Dimitrov with the speech of Bella
Kun.
Bella Kun: "The economic hege-
mony Of America has been generally
recognized. However, too little atten-
ton has been paid to the alteration
in the economy Of Europe brot about
by this hegemony altho the best way
to struggle against American domin-
ance is to struggle against these
phenomenon in Europe. After the war
the philosophers Of the bourgeoisie
in the defeated countries fell into
pessimism, however, the sterilization
has awakened their will to struggle
once again. Many of them are CO.
quoting with the ideal Of pan-Europe
which represents in idealistic cloth
ing an attempt to re-establish the de-
stroyed European market and the
struggle against America.
The slogan of pan-Europe is the be-
ginning of the demand for a struggle
against America. Our slogan, for the
United States of socialist Europe can
only be slogan for the completion
of the struggle, a propaganda slogan
which we must complete with agita-
tional slogans and slogans for action.
WTHAT does America want in Eu-
~ rope? An American capitalist
representative has declared that the
condition for loans is a government
firmly in the saddle, which does not
go in too much for ornaments and
which honors its international obliga-
tons. 1t is clear that the economic and
political sterilization must produce
the contradictions of capitalism on a
much wider scale than before the war.
For the present American capital
ism wants "a class peace and a peo-
pies peace in Europe" For this rea-
son European capitalism is undertake
ing to put its state finances in order
at the cost of the toilers, and to in
troduce the alterations in the Europ-
can economic and productive organ
izations known as "rationalizations."
Communist circles often times very
much underestimate this rationaliza-
ton In consequence of this rational
ization the Cali Syndicate has re-
duced its workers from $4,000 to
5000, and at the same time, however.
increased its production by so per
cent. In the interests of rationaliza-
tion, German undertakings to the
value of 6OO,O0O,OOO gold marks have
ben held up. In consequence of this
the workers have suffered from in
creased exploitation, increased unem-
Ployment, and the impossibility of a
social policy keeping pace with the
Americanization and the re-establish-
ment Of the economic dictatorship.
THE internal political effects of the
4 American hegemony and the stabil-
ization consist in a preference for
''legaT' methods as opposed to ter
rorist methods, that is to say a sys-
temization and legislation of the ter
Tor. The consequences of American
dominance in Europe are to be seen
in the so-called pacifsm in the form
Of the Locarno treaty, in the efforts
towards a guarantee pact for South
east Europe, in the disarmament cir.
Gus, etc, etc. Also in the efforts to
create a wider political economic
unit, as for instance in the creation
Of a Danube federation to embrace
economically , the states which have
resulted from the old Austro-Hungar-
ian monarchy.
We can and must fight against the
effects of the sterilization by a revo-
