The leaders of the conspiracy were
afraid that the masses of Western
Europe and America, harrassed and
disillusioned with capitalism by the
terrific unemployment and wage cuts
would not join in such war. They
hope for better luck later.
Events Prove Truth.
1t is easy to find verification for
the plot in the actions of Poland, and
of BRAND. Poland has conducted, at
several times during the year very
provocative activities against the
Soviet Union, among which may be
mentioned the apparent governmental
protection given the assassins who
atter----- to kill the Soviet minister
BRAND has worked c-aselessly for
union of capitalist states, THE
United States of Europe, which the
Communist Parties have repeatedly
exposed as an attempt at united
front of imperialists against the Sow
let Union. BRAND works under a
camouflage of "pacifism" but he

war on the Soviet Union.

they engaged in the most reckless
sabotage, trying to throw the whole
Soviet economy and industry into
chaos to prepare the way for the ad-
vancing imperialist armies.
