R0TE FAHNE HITS
u, S. COMMISSION
Exposes Purposes of
Reparations Trio

In connection with the reparations
conference which is taking place be-
tween the American delegates, j. F.
Morgan, Owen Young and Thomas
Lamont, the virtual dictators, and
the Allied and German delegates,
the Rote Fahne, German Communist
daily, publishes the following COM
ment:
"The German Mine Gazette
which, few weeks ago, during the
first phase of the Paris reparations
conference, revealed the background
Of these negotiations and with Gym
ical openness stated the German i'm
perialism's foreign political aims,
now, when the conference has entered
a decisive stage and the question
of the price of Germany's adhesion
to the Entente bloc has assumed a
concrete form, repeats its war cry
against the Soviet Union.
"a firm and honorable alliance be-
tween Germany, France and Eng
land that much was understoou.
An alliance of a "militarily equal"
Germany with the Entente powers
that is the aim of the German
Mine Gazette" and of German trust
capital the aim which Vogler and
Schacht represent in Paris.
against whom would such an al
lance be directed? The German
Mine Gazette" does not make any
/ secret about it. 1t states: around
this Peace Blcc' Germany, France
and England, Ed the rest of Eu-
rope would naturally group itself,
with the possible exception of Russia
as long O. as it remains Bolshevist! !!
And in conclusion it states even
more clearly:
''Of course a close collaboration
and cooperation with Russia, an
eastern crientation, is perfectly
! possible, but not with the present
Russia. The present Russia can
and will collaborate and cooperate
4 only with a BOlshevist Germany.
I This form of government would be
1 for Germany, as it has been for
1 Russia, an economic, cultural,
moral and political destruction.
That form of government (the
capitaiisD is possible, but not pos
sible to the powers that be in the
Soviet Union. They will have to
withdraw"
"But as they will not withdraw
that is the tacit, but compelling
conclusion of the German Mine
Gazette"-it is necessary to take
care of their downfall by military
intervention which will restore the
rule of capitalism in the Soviet
| Union.
In order to pile up documentary
proof of the necessity for war of
intervention, the German Mine
Gazette" calls attention to the Com
munist press, in particular to the
Rote Fahne. The aim of Bolshevist
Russia, writes the organ of the West
German trusts, is world revolution.
1t is not true that Moscow has al
tered this policy, that it is coming
closer to the policies of bourgeois
democracy and people who declare
that Soviet Russia is on the road
to moderation, that it means to build
up the Nep in a capitalist sense,
have absolutely incorrect informa-
ton about Russia"
People who think like that must
have read very few Communist
papers {. ;" the gazette opines anc
appeals, on the basis of this alarm
of world revolution, to Pilsudski and
Poincare for secret crusade against
Moscow whose "emissaries" "rage
with redoubled zeal" in Poland ant
Germany, France and England ste
achieve the Communist Revolution.
"This offensive against tn
great creditor power across the sea
is, at this juncture of the repara,
tions conference in which America
is playing a decisive role, of the
greatest significance. 1t shows that
German imperialism has not only
determined to effect it's western
orientation by going over openly tc
the camp of the Entente but has
already taken. decisive steps along
this path.
"The provocative language Of the
German Mine Gazette is the echo
Of the war danger which is growing
stronger from day to day.
