perialism the war danger takes on a
concrete form. This was clearly fore
seen by the Communist international
when it called upon the workers of
the world to organize for the strug-
gle against the danger of war. AL
ready in the thesis of the Sixth
World Congress on the international
situation, it was pointed out that
the third period, in which the con-
tradiction between the growth of the
productive forces and the contraction
Of markets become particularly ac-
centuated, is inevitably giving rise
to a fresh series of imperialist wars
among the imperialist states, these
vars of the imperialist states against
the USSR, wars of national liberia
ton against imperialism and i'm
perialistic federation and to gigantic
class battles" Further, in the theses
Of the Sixth World Congress on the
War Danger it was stated that "the
antagonisms between the imperialist
powers in the struggle for markets
are more and more sharply ex-
pressed. But still more strongly
than the antagonisms between the
lmperialist powers is growing the
principal antagonists that is divid-
ing the world into two camps:
"These two fundamentally hostile
camps" as it is said in the pro-
gramme of the Communist Interna-
tional." E. the camp of the i'm
perialist states and the camp of the
dictatorship of the proletariat in the
USSR. The difference in class struc-
ture and in the class character of
the government in the two camps,
the fundamental differences in the

foreign, economic and cultural policy,

the victorious proletarian state.
Within the framework of a formerly
uniform world economy, two antago-

against each other: the system of
capitalism and the system of social

world is in itself a most striking ex-
preston of the profound crisis of
the world capitalist system and of
the expansion and intensification of

solve the main contradictions of the
third period-the contradiction be-
tween the increased productive ca
pacity and the restricted internal
markets.
2. AS the War Danger Thesis of
the Sixth World Congress states,
"events of recent years have shown
that the main front in the policy
of all imperialist powers is directed
more and more openly against the
Soviet Union" The growing an
tagonisms between the capitalist
powers do not prevent a common
imperialist attack against the U. S.
S. R., although this common attack
is actually bound to cause a deeper
development of the inter-imperialist
antagonisms. On the one hand the
imminent danger of war on the
Soviet Union is demonstrated by the
war provocation in Manchuria. On
the other hand the sharpening inter-
imperialist antagonisms, a clash be-
tween the imperialist groups of
powers in the struggle for world
supremacy may take place at any
moment.
8. The attack of the Chinese war
lords against the Soviet Union on
the question of the Chinese Eastern
Railway is not separate event, but
link in the chain of war prepara-
tons against the Soviet Union. For
long time the imperialists of the
world have been preparing for an
attack on the Soviet Union. The
military pacts between Poland, Rou-
mania, Lithuania, and Finland, or
ganized under the aegis of British
imperialism, the military agreements
between France and Poland, France
and Roumania, the financial support
given by American Imperialism to
Poland (the Wall Street financial
advisers recognizing Polish fl
nance), and financial support of the
fascist governments of Balkan and
Baltic states by American imperial
ism, the assassination of small bor-
