dor to the Soviet Union, Patek. The
motives which prompted the two
governments to lend their signatures
to the protocol were very different.
After apparently overcoming al
hindrances, Patek signed the proto.
col in the name of his government
but anyone who is acquainted with
the past of Pilsudski and with his
present aims, and with the whole
policy of independent" Poland
knows very well that the Polish
bourgeoisie and its fascist govern
ment will never cease preparing an
armed intervention against the Sow
let Union.
If we take look at the events OF
the last few months, we will easily
be able to convince ourselves that
the whole internal and foreign policy
of fascist Poland is based upon the
assumption of war and above all of
war against the Soviet Union.
Military and Diplomatic Intrigues
of Pilsudski.
The alleged "sick-leave" of Pill
sudski which he spent in Rumania,
represented nothing but a journey
with view to strengthening the
anti-Soviet military alliance between
Poland and Rumania, and to work
out with the Rumanian general staff
under the direction of France, a
plan of military operations against
the Soviet Union. The negotiations
which were conducted whilst Pilsud-
ski was in Rumania resulted in
agreement upon the following points
between the French, Polish and Ru-
manian representatives:
1. In case of war with the Sow
let Union, Poland and Rumania
undertake to provide mutual sup
port against the Soviet Union;
2. In case of war between Ru-
mania and the Soviet Union. Po-
land undertakes to place three d.
visions at the disposal of the Ru-
manian army, the divisions to be
under the supreme command of
the Rumanian general staff;
8. In case of war between Poland
and the Soviet Union, Rumania
undertakes to place eight infantry
divisions and cavalry division at
the disposal of the Polish general
staff and these divisions together
with an equal number of Polish
divisions shall form unified
army;
4. This Polish lithuanian army
shall be placed under the supreme
command of French officers;
5. France undertakes to support
the operations of such an army by
sending five warships to the Baltic
Ocean;
6. For the defense of the Ru-
manian Black Sea coast a double
track railway shall be built be-
tween Tchernovitz and Marasechti
on the Black Sea coast; and
Z. Generals NORM and Leron
shall be entrusted with the carry
ing out of the plan. The firms of
Schneider Creuzot and Skeda will
supply uniform equipment (arms
and munitions) to the French, Po-
lish and Rumanian armies under
the direction of the French general
staff. Munition factories will be
erected in Rumania and Yugo-
slavia and the Greek harbor of
Salonika will be extended in order
to supply Poland and Rumania
with war material.
In order to render the Gordon
around the southwest of the Sovie
Union complete, Pilsudski is work
ing tirelessly to bring about an un
derstanding between Hungary AM
Rumania. The idea is that in cas-
of war between Rumania and tn
Soviet Union the former would b.
able to withdraw it's troops from tn
Hungarian frontier in order to sen,
them to the theatre of war. TIL,
Polish ambassador to Hungary, Ma
jor Matuszrvski, who is a confidan
of Pilsudski and the former head O
the second department Of the Polisl
general staff, has been entrusted
with the development of this plan
With the assistance of French dip
lomats and the heads of the inter
national finance world, plan is be
ing worked out to provide for unite,
action between Poland, Bulgaria
Yugoslavia, Rumania and Tchecho

Soviet Union.
In agreement with Great Britain
and France, Pilsudski is preparing |
raid on Lithuania. The subordina
ton of Lithuania to Poland is par
of general plan Of imperialist wa
against the Soviet Union. The rait
on Lithuania is to be a repetition
of the so-called "Zeligovsky revolt
which resulted in the annexation O.
Wilma in 1920. Zeligovsky, who j,
a member of the Polish socialis
party, has left the Polish army il
order to place himself at the heat
