! Council ended than new conference
of imperialist powers began in the
same city of Geneva, the so-called dis
armament conference, the true mean
ing of which is the preparation for
the coming bloody struggle between
Great Britain and the United States
for the supremacy on the sea in gen
eral and the control Of the Pacific in
particular.
WHILE this going on in Geneva, a
" good deal of the unfinished
business, of the League Council, that
is the question of peace" and stabili-
cation" in Europe and implicitly also
the question of the planned imperial
ist attack upon the Soviet Union, are
in a somewhat different form trans
ferred to the city of New York, to the
rooms of the Federal Reserve Build
ings, where the heads of the central
banks of Great Britain, France and
/ Germany are confering with the head
| of the Federal Reserve Bank of New
/ York and some officials of the U. S.
Federal Reserve Board as to the
pressing financial difficulties and
urgent monetary problems of the
main European powers.
All of them are, to be sure, tied to
the strings of the American treasury
and the ensuing negotiations and
sQuabbles, coupled with corresponding
financial manipulations, aim at grab
bing the biggest portion Of the gold
accumulation for the capitalist needs
of each of these contesting countries.
JUST at this moment France has
succeeded in out-maneuvering the
other two countries, particularly
Great Britain, by drawing to herself
goodly portion of the English gold
reserve. But the settlement of this
question is closely bound up with the
future of the Dawes plan, that is with
the fight as to whom should get the
biggest portion of the tribute squeezed
from the German proletariat by the
workings of the renowned Dawes
plan.
Any change in the provisions of the

France and would once more arouse
the question of the Rhineland occupa-
ton as one of the ways to insure the
payment of the tribute. This in its
turn brings in Great Britain's part in
the game, in trying to negotiate an
agreement granting some comfort to-
Germany in exchange for Germany's
concessions.
OUT the price" of these conces-
sions is well known: it is Ger
many's consent to the financial and
diplomatic isolation of the Soviet
Union as prelude to a coming
armed attack upon the Soviet terri
tory.
AS the requisite of such attack, the
main difficulties between the
powers must-temporarily-be either
'solved" or set aside. And this lends
particular importance to the present
negotiations of the above mentioned
financial leaders.
THUS this time the question of the
attack upon the Soviet Union is
being directly put to the men respon-
sible for the financial and conse-
quently also the diplomatic course of
the United States. The government
of the United States will jointly with
the American financiers be deciding
now the question of a definite line
up for an anti-Soviet coalition and
will no less than others be responsible
for feeding all the counter-revolu-
tionary plots and a military expedi-
ton against the Soviet Union.
THE Government of the United
States will have to play now
openly its cards in the anti-Soviet
game; then, despite the utmost Sc
crecy of these conversations and
negotiations, their meaning and the
role of the United States in the whole
affair will rather sooner than later
become altogether clear.
Not that the United States has not
by various indirect acts and tokens
shown already it's actual position in
the anti-Soviet plot. We shall try
shortly to expose this hidden double
faced game that is absolutely reminis-
cent and worthy of the glorious. ex-
ploits of Wilson with HIS military ex-
petitions to Siberia and Archangel
on the one hand and the Friendly"
Bullitt mission on the other.
eide by side with the bouts of the
militarists in Geneva and the
chickering's Of the financiers in New
York there are flaring up at single
points flames Of sharp antagonism,
which at this moment of particular
tenseness in the world situation are
very omnoUs. While Britain's con-
slant work against the Soviet Union
is shown recently in the reported hos
tile Vaccinations of Chang Tso-lin
with regard to the Chinese Eastern
Railway, in renewed pressure in At
ghanistan to neutralize the influence
Of the Soviet Union in the countries
of the Near East, in sending the
