threats against the Soviet Union
on the pretext of religion.
The resolution was proposed bv
Assemblyman Louis A. Cuvillier.
1t supports all the lies of the pope
and the Archbishop of Canterbury,
and backs the call for ''interces-
sion" put out by Bishop Manning
and Rabbi Wise. The resolution.
which talks about sympathy with
the Russian church, in reality
backs the war preparations of
American Imperialism against the
U.S.S.R.
Declaring that the encychcal of
the pope and the declarations of
Bishop Manning and Rabbi Wise
are only part of the war prepare
tons of the imperialist powers
against the Soviet Union, the Com
munist Party, District Bureau, Dis
trict New York, has issued the fol-
lowing statement:
Preparations for armed imper-
ialist invasion of the Soviet Union
are proceeding with feverish pace.
The London naval reduction con-
ference which is turning into an
armament increase conference has
but one aim: to mobilize the entire
imperialist world and all reaction
airy forces against the Soviet Union.
''The breaking off of relations be-
tween the Mexican government and
the Soviet Government, at the be-
hest of the Wall Street government
Of Washington; the instigation by
the imperialist U. S. government
Of the reactionary Chang Shek
government against the Soviet Gov
eminent in the form Of an attack
on the Chinese Railway and the ar
rest of Soviet citizens; the interior
ence of Mr.. Stimson in the peaceful
settlement of the conflict between
the Soviet Government and the
Mukden government; the threatened
break between the French and the
Soviet Government; Of the Ramsay
Macdonald social-imperialist gov
eminent and the Soviet Union, the
raids on the Soviet Embassy in
Munich, with the bowling of the
social-fascist Berlin 'Vorwaerts' for
severance of relations between
Germany and the Soviet Union,
point clearly to the organization of
all reactionary forces against the
Soviet Union. The discovery" of
Soviet agents in Rumania and
Greece, in India and Indo-China in
dicates to what lengths the imper-
ialists will go in their lies and SLAM
ders against the Soviet Union for
the purpose of modifying all black
forces against the Workers Re-
public.
Crisis Leads To War.
"The crisis in the imperialist
countries, with the mass unemploy-
ment, capitalist offensive against
the conditions of the workers, with
more and more intense exploitation
of the working masses and mass
misery and hunger: with the search
for markets for the surplus produc-
ton, the imperialists find only one
way out of this crisis and that is
by inaugurating new world
slaughter.
"The wonderful success of social
ism through the Five Year Plan is
raising the Soviet Union to the
plane of one Of the greatest pro-
ducing countries in the world--one
that challenges the supremacy Of
capitalism. The industrialization
and the collectivization of the land
which are putting the workers and
poor and middle peasants more Sc
curely into possession of the returns
of their labor menace the whole
conception of capitalist production.
The workers and farmers all over
the world look to the Soviet Union
for leadership of the crisis Of CAPT
talism.
All this has led the capitalist gov
ernments to draw in the reserve Of
black reaction-the church. The
Catholic, Protestant and Jewish
clergy are being modified to attack
the minds of the workers and farm
ers on the sham plea Of religious
persecution in the Soviet Union.
Prinnate Sergius, patriarch Of the
Russian Orthodox church, states
with full assurance that the Soviet
Government allows full liberty Of
belief and does not interfere with
religious ceremony. nevertheless the
Bishop Mannings and Rabbi Wises,
following the beck of Wall Street,
which is bent upon imperialist
slaughter, heed the call Of the re-
dictionary pope and summon their
superstitious flocks for armed strug-
gle against the Workers Father
land.
"'We are not bent upon battling
with the Soviet Republics, but we
never shall lay down our moral
arms until the Soviet Republic ends
its ruthless warfare against religion
and grants the free and untram-
melted exercise Of religious rights,
says Rabbi Wise.
"In the u. s. A., the land Of the
Free. the workers starve in the
sight of the church. In the land Of
