alarms that have surpassed all the
records of invetiveness for Riga or
Berlin news sources and of the
creduIity of the foreign press and
public. e..
MANY of these diplomats (of
foreign countries in Moscow rep
resent countries with scant SYM
pathy for the Soviet and its works.
Almost all of them have person.
mel familiar with Russian condi-
tions and the language, with
friends and fellow nationals in all
strata of Russian life. Gossip flies
quickly through the diplomatic
corps, but it has not yet heard
about the events here lately broad
cast by Riga and Berlin Sources
"It is possible to dismiss foreign
reporters as mincompoops or
cringing under the censor's knout,
but nobody can question the word
of the ambassadors of Britain,
France, Germany, Italy and Japan.
Soviet officials, of course, assert
there Is a perfectly simple explain
alton of the whole business
powerful anti-Soviet emigre or
ganization in Paris is eager to
revenge itself for the plans which
were blasted recently"
Duranty tells of what everyone
knows. The foreign diplomats have
complete, unobstructed use Of the
wires on which they can send any
number of codes messages, and are
not hampered by any form of Gen.
sorship. News of such "revolts" as
the capitalist liars pick up and
spread as truth would be of great
significance to the capitalist powers
who are financing attempts at just
this sort of thing. Yet they do not
confirm these rumors. They remain
silent.
Lies about the Soviet Union have
been the cheapest commodity in the
capitalist world since the establish
ment of the workers government.
Lenin was assaSSinated, in Riga,
Berlin, Helsingfors, London, even
New York, with the help of facile
typWriters, at least one thousand
times. The Soviet Government, in
the same fashion, has been pushed
over periodically at least twice a
month, and in the early days, twice
a day, by no other means than the
glib pen of counter-revolutionary
journalists.
But the present lies have breater
significance than their former mod
els. The Five-Year Plan is entering
its third year, with success radiating
from it, despite obstacles, despite in
ternal sabotage, despite the war plots
of every imperialist power on the
globe. The third year of the Five
Year Plan will go on amidst wors-
ening economic and in many places
political crisis of world Imperialism
with more and more revolutionary
struggles. 1t will proceed amid the
echo Of gigantic class battles in the
United States, Germany, Italy, Eng
land, France-everywhe in capt..
alist countries.
The stories about revolts in Mos
COW are intended by their Czaris
manufacturers to spur on the wa
being arranged by the imperialist
and to hearten them in this Difficult
task of mobilizing the workers in tn,
imperialist countries against tn,
powerful forces of the Red Army il
the Soviet Union and working-cla
determined to the last ditch to de
fend it's power.
The growth OF the lies against tn,
Soviet Union should warn all work
ers that imperialism is fast rushing
back to the days OF kolchak, Denim
kin, and the other white-guard arm
les who attempted to overthrow thu
Soviet Union. Poland, Finland
Rumania, Hungary are being pre-
pared as a battle-ground against tn,
workers republic. Hoover, Hyde
Mellon are preparing to rush thest
war preparations. The working
class of the entire world will be in.
volYed.
Not only must these ruraors ant
lies be smashed. but what is more
important, the causes behind then
must be revealed to the workers. anc
the war preparations themselves
must be smashed by the united
action of the workers In all capt..
anst lands.
