6. The preparation for war on the
Soviet Union signifies nothing more
nor less than the reproduction of the
class struggle between the imperial
ist bourgeoisie and the victorious
proletariat, merely on broader basis.
Precisely the same will be the class
import of this war. Those who, like
the opposition in our Party, doubt
that this war bears this character, or
who fail to see that the root of the
attack on the Soviet Union lies in
the growth Of constructive socialism
in the Soviet Union and in its rev.
dictionary influence, and fancy it to
lie in the national reformism of the
proletarian party, display a social
democratic deviation, one doubly
harmful in the present International
situation, and giving objective aid to
the enemies of the proletariat.
7. The system of diplomatic and
military alliances against the Soviet
Union, aiming at the so-called enclr-
clement of the Soviet Union (agree-
ments between Poland and Roumania,
between Italy and Roumania, ETC.;
Great Britan's activities in the Baltic
States, in Poland, in the Far East, in
Persia; the pressure" on Germany,
especially since Locarno, up to the
last attempts at the formation Of an
anti-Soviet bloc at Geneva; the raid
on the ARGOS, the rupture of diplo-
matte relations with the Soviet Union;
the increased pressure on France, in
order to induce it to break with the
Soviet Union; the like pressure on
Italy, Greece, etc; the ever-increasing
pressure now being put on Germany
is the most characteristic fact of the
present moment.
The British Conservative govern
ment, in preparing for war on the
Soviet Union and on the working
class of it's own country, is doing this
by carrying on d diplomatic struggle
everywhere against the Soviet Union,
organizing q credit and economic
blockade of the Soviet Union, arrang
ing conspiracres and terrorist actions
on the territory OF the Soviet Union,
supporting the counter revolutionary
groups in the Caucasus, especially in
Georgia, the Ukraine, etc, and the
like. At the same time number of
bourgeois states are preparing the
ground by other measures. (Musso-
lini's laws against the workers and
the terror against the Communists in
Italy; the anti-trade union law and
the plan of reform" of the Upper
House in Great Britain; the military
/. laws Of the Socialist" Paul Boncour
and the arrests of Communists in
France, etc, and the like.)
The theological preparation for the
war on the Soviet Union is being par
ticipated in not only by the bourgeoisie
but by the so-called international So
cial democrats in combination with
the ultra Left" renegades from Com
munism general discrediting of the
Soviet Union as a state; ISLANDERS as
to degeneration, Kulak policy (Levi)
and Bonapartism; outcries over RED
imperialism" on the alleged role of
inciter played by the Soviet Union,
which is "to blame" for the violation
of that peace so carefully safe
guarded" by the League Of Nations.
Compare, for instance, Bauer's
standpoint, the Marseilles resolutions
of the Second International, the "shell
campaign" the last appeal of the So
cial democratic government Of Fin
land to the League of Nations, etc.
All this has to serve as a cloak and
justification of the class struggle of
the lmperialist boargeoisie against the
proletarian state, and to divert the
workers Of Europe from fulfilling
their proletarian duty of defending
the Soviet Union with all means. I'm
der such conditions the sermons of
the opposition of the c. P. S. U. bear
on extremely embarrassed and Grim
inal~seharacter.
8. While the inner antagonisms be-
tween the separate imperialist States
bear within them the germs Of ire
mendous conflicts between these states
themselves (between Great Britain
and the United States, Italy and
France, Poland and Germany, Japan
and the United States, in the Balkans,
in Central Europe, etc., the posi-
bility is not excluded of temporary
bloc among these states against the
Soviet Union, that is, direct military
or financial aid to the forces engaged
in direct operations against the state
of the working class. The furious
propaganda being carried on in
France for the breaking off of diplo-
matte relations with the Soviet Union;
the adoption of a hostile tone to-
wards the Soviet Union by consider
able section of the German press;
Japan's policy in the Far East, etc,
signalize the real possibility of this
danger.
