Acute Danger OF Armed Attack
on the Soviet Union

of the Soviet Union, with view to attacking
the Soviet Union.
1t is not an accident that the naval 'reduc-
ton" conference is deciding to increase arma-
ment, that relations are broken off with the
Soviet Union threat is being made in that
direction by several reactionary governments,
that hue and cry over religious persecu-
tom is being raised throughout the reaction
airy world by the heads of the churches-all
simultaneously.
The attacks of the Soviet Union on the
kulaks, with the firm intention of uprooting
this reactiOnary capitalist remnant of the old
regime in the Soviet Union, are countered by
the imperialists with attacks on the Soviet
Union. The ~AA~~ts on the kulaks are neces-
sary in the industrialization and collectiviza-
ton plans incorporated in the Five-Year Plan.
The success of the Five-Year Plan is convincing
the most backward peasants with small and
medium holdings that this new mode of pro-
duction-colectiviza progressive. The
driving out of the kulaks-the representatives
of capitalism in the Soviet Union village-in
many instances on the demand of the poor
and medium peasants and often through their
initiatives coupled with the campaign of
enlightenment carried on among the workers
and peasants, intensifying their hatred against
the kulaks, the uphoders of religion and ig-
norance in the Soviet Union. But the world
capitalists are determined to support their fell
low capitalists in the Soviet Union.
Thus the attacks on the Soviet Union are not
based upon an opposition of religious perse-
cution," on freedom of thought" and the vari-
Gus other sham issues raised against the So
Wet government, but entirely on the growing
power of the Soviet government, of Soviet
economy, of the growing misery of the work
ers and peasants in the mperialist countries,
and the developing influence of the Communist
Parties.
Alleged agents of the G.P.U. of the Soviet
Union making raids in Rumania; alleged agents
of the Soviet government with large quantities
of forged notes, etc., in Greece, agents of the
Soviet government or the Communist Inter-
national in India and Indo-C hina-all of these
are issues raised in order to justify a united
attack on the Soviet Union.
The coincidence of these happenings is not
accidental The crisis in the capitalist coun-
tries, driving the imperialst powers to war for
markets; the vicious offensive against the
workers of all countries to reduce their condi-
tions the fearful unemployment amounting to
at least 100000 in the imperialist countries,
as contrasted with the rising conditions in the
Soviet Union; the growing power of the So
Wet Union and the rising tide of Communism
as result of the growth of revolutionary will
to struggle on the part of the workers and
peasants in the imperialist and colonial coun-
tries; the farms reduction" conference which
is an arms increase conference-all emphasize
the closeness of imperialist attacks on the So
Wet Union.

and merging of fascist organizations in the

There is immediate need of mobilization
of the workers in defense Of the Soviet Union.
The Soviet government is resisting all provo
cations of the impcrialists, but everything
points to armed intervention. against which
