Union. Thus we see that Poincare and BRAND
Immediately issued statements of denial that
they ever had anything to do with the interven-
ton schemes. Poincare felt compelled to write
an article in which he, while attempting to deny
the confessions of the counter revolutionists, at
the same time, proves the war preparations of
the French government in the very same article.
The trial very clearly exposed the role of the
French General Staff. Even before the trial the
journeys of the various French generals to
Poland and the other Baltic countries to unity
the war attacks against the Soviet Union are
well known. But in the above mentioned article,
Poincare says the following:
"JuSt think of it! What insolence to accuse
such a peaceful Cd institution as the French
General Staff of developing preparation plans
for Intervention" Now really, of all the institu-
tons in the world, the French General Staff, is
surely the most peaceful one. The very
statement of Poincare with respect to the Gen.
eral Staff was made because of the well estab-
lShed facts OF the war preparations of the
French General Staff under the guidance of
Poincare and BRAND. In the very same article,
Mr.. Poncare states:
There can be no peace with Germany which
aims to free itself from the Versailles Treaty
and with the SOVIET UNION WHICH BUILDS
SOCIALISM"
Precisely the building and growth of Social
ism in the Soviet Union through the success
full carrying out of the Five-Year Plan explains
the war preparations of all the leading imperial
list powers with France at the head
MIR. BRAND was actually Shocked" when he
was exposed by the defendants themselves as a
Il. ~-;x.. 80
How could he, the most accomplished bourgeois
diplomat, be accused of it-Mr. BRAND who is
known for carrying through the dirtiest dipIo-
matte deals with the most friendly gesture,
sweetest smile, and noble phrases? In face of
the exposures which could not be denied or
evaded, he declared that the relations of the
French Government with the Soviet Union are
normal and correct" Quite right. For an i'm
perialist government. Such denals and lies must
have even shocked" the scientific minded" and
intellectually honest" noble figure of MIR. Ram
Yin, who was compelled to declare at the trial
that The French government is the chief in
spirer of intervention and is the center of the
struggle against the Soviet Union 1t bears the
chief blame for the next war;" Answer that,
Mr.. BRAND and Poincare!
While the French government undoubtedly
has taken and is still taking the active organ
lzing role for war against the Soviet Union, the
British and American governments and capital
list statesmen are not Tagging" much behind the
anti-Soyiet war preparations. The role of De-
terding Churchill, was quite well established at
the trial. Mr.. Deterding is the most innocent
and "peace-loving' capitalist in the world Upon
the report OF his role as exposed in the trial he
made Sunday school speeches in which he de-
clared that while his heart goes out to the "suf-
fering' masses in the Soviet Union he will not
raise finger against the Soviet Union Why,
even honest and simple minded Coolidge
wouldn't believe that. But Churchill was taken
by surprise. The New York Times reported that
when the first news of the arrest and exposure
was brought to Mr. Churchill, he declared. II
only had passing interest in the affairs Of the
Soviet Union" The lingo Of all the Jingoes of
Great Britain thinks that he can get away with
such lying statement.
But let us see what is that passing interest"
OF Mr.. Churchill. In his The World Crisis. The
Aftermath" which was published in 1929, he said
the following:
'The Intervention against the Soviet Union)
left practical results The Bolsheviks in the
period OF 1919 were drawn into war against
Kolchak and Denikin. Their energies were
turned on internal affairs The whole chain Of
the liberated countries Of western Europe re-
ceived breathing spell Of great value Finland,
Esthonia, Latyia, Lthuania, and above all, Po-
land, had the possibilities in 1919 to restore
their organism OF civilized states and to organize
strong, patriotic army. Dread: armies for
war and intervention against the Soviet Union.
