Comradc Remelle then made
speech on the second point of the
agenda: The Struggle Against I'M
perialist War. He said that today
social democracy is leading the
theological preparations for war
against the Soviet Union. The con-
Predictions of capitalism was shown
in the increased production at the
same time that there is a decrease
in markets because one-siXth of the
world, namely Soviet Russia, is re-
moved from capitalist influence.
The only solution which capitalism |
can seek is war against the Soviet |
Union. The industrialization of the
Soviet Union is developing. The
Soviet Union is a power for peace,
while the capitalist countries are
powers for war.
Germany Prepares for War.
Germany has abandoned the Ra-
PABLO treaty and is participating in
war preparations, together with the
western powers. The Reichswehr is
special army against the Soviet
Union. consisting of seven infantry
and cavalry divisions, that is an
army for use in open field against
the Red Army. Industry is being
prepared for instant transformation
for war purposes. The bourgeoisie
are preparing laws against strikes
in the transport industries. The
photographed and economic situa-
ton, in Germany determines its role
in the coming war against the Sow
let Union as bridge for the inter-
vention of troops and carrier of
war materials.
For Workers Red Army.
The Red Army is the weapon of
fhe proletariat. Seventy-two per
Gent of its officers were workers
and peasants.
7 Lenin warned against the illusion
of thes slogan, answer war with
The general strike" The struggle
against war is difficult. The out
Break of war means the release of a
powerful wave Of chauvinism. At
the beginning of the war Commu-
nists viii have to work underground,
1.-THE overthrow of the bourgeoisie
agill come not at the beginning, but
ut the end of the war.

conciliator, declared that he ap-
proved the thesis against war, but
demanded the omission of the state
msent that ain the interests of the
imperialists the conciliators detract
attention from the war prepare
tions.p Nobody has the right to
doubt the loyalty of the conciliators
to the Party and the Soviet Union.

ences with the Party.
