Russian envoy to Poland.
world The Mediterranean Sea and
the Balkan countries are the seats
Of constant intrigues and jealousies
between the robbers who are scram-
bling for the world. But these an
tagonistic interests are being pushed
into the background The Italo-
Yugoslavian incident showed that
Great Britain has succeeded for the
time being in smoothing over these
squabbles between tn e capitalist
States and uniting these States
against the common enemy, against
the working class and its proletarian
State.
Comrades!
The imperialist States do not think
of concealing their war preparations
any longer The League of Nations
no longer succeeds in deceiving the
peoples. 1t has kept silent whenever
big imperialist bandit throttled a
small nation. Corfu, Morocco, Syria,
China, Nicaragua, Abyssinia and AL
bania are clear proofs of its lying
policy, and its imperialist barbarity.
THE Disarmament Conferences of
Geneva and Washington did not
succeed in concealing the ever greater
acceleration of ornaments. French
Imperialism has just passed a new
military law which means the COM
plete militarization Of the whole peo-
pie. The factories are working al
most exclusively on army orders. The
Stahlhelm demonstration in Berlin
clearly showed that Germany is re-
organizing its military power
But Imperialism cannot prepare for
war without taking up the fight
against the working class and its or
CARNATIONS. The war on the Soviet
Union is class war, war against
the proletariat The great imperialist
States know that the world probe
tariat is watching the Russian Revo-
luton, that it will fight against war,
that it will not defend the native
countries of its exploiters, but the
native country of the working class
and of the whole world Imperialism
knows that it can again rely on the
support of social democracy, just
as in the year 1914 But today there
exists in every country a Communist
Party which will expose the treachery
of the Second International and will
from the very first day lead the
workers. peasants and soldiers into
the fight against war and against the
capitalist regime which engenders
war-a Communist Party which will
endeavor with all means to convert
the imperialist war into a war against
Imperialism and the social revolution.
For this reason the war preparations
are accompanied by a general Of
fensive against the working class and
against its class organizations.
THE imperialist vultures wish to
bend the working class of all
countries beneath the yoke of in
tensified exploitation; they wish to
destroy the workers organizations in
order to throttle their fight against
war. The employers attack on
wages and the eight-hour day, and
the naturalization Of production are
accompanied by an offensive of the
police and the government against the
workers organizations and the adj
yance-guard Of the proletariat The
bill against the trade unions in Great
Britain, the great police conspiracy
and the arrest Of Communist func-
tionaries in France, the review Of the
fascist forces in Germany, the mass
deportations and the fascist trade
union monopoly in Italy, the intensi-
fled terror and the mass executions
of revolutionaries in Poland. Rou-
mania. Bulgaria and Lithuania are
all part Of the war preparations of
the imperialists.
/ At the moment when world Inn
perialsm is drawing together It's for
ces against the working class, when
it is increasing the exploitation Of the
peasant masses and of the natives
in the colonies and openly preparing
for a new war, the leaders Of the So
cial democracy are again, as on 4th
of August 1914, betraying the inter-
ests Of the working class and placing
! themselves in the service Of imperial
ism and Of armed reaction. In Great
Britain, instead Of summoning the
masses TO the fight in defence Of the
trade unions, they content themselves
with futile Parliamentary skirmishes,
which is tantatount to surrender
without fight In France, the So
cialist Paul Boncour, has drawn up,
