THE question of the war danger is not an
abstract propaganda slogan of the Com
munists, as the bourgeoisie and social fascists
are trying to make the workers believe. Dur
ing this third period of post war capitalism,
the war danger has become an immediate prob
lem. The present ever-deepening crisis of
world capitalism makes new imperialist wars
unavoidable. The imperialist powers are seek
ing redivision of world markets as the solu-
ton of getting out of the present economic
crisis. Antagonisms between dominant imper-
ialist powers are sharpening at very fast
pace, as stated in the Program of the Com
munist International. Meanwhile, the inner
ent antagonism within the capitalist sector of
world economy itself has become intensified.
The shifting of the economic center of the
world to the United States of America and the
fact that the Dollar Republic has become a
world exploiter, has caused the relations be-
tween the United States and European CAPT
talism, particularly British capitalism, to be-
come strained. The conflict between Great
Britain-the most powerful of the DID, con-
sentative imperialist states, which has already
won world hegemony for itself--is becoming
the pivot of the world conflicts among the
finance capitalist states"
Antagonisms Grow.
This antagonism between imperialist states
10 growing ever faster on account OF recent
economic crises. However, new imperialist
war danger is not threatening mainly between
imperialist powers themselves, but in the first
place and in more vital form for the revolu-
tionary proletariat-in the form of war
against the Soviet Union. The basis for this
war against the Soviet Union was stated at
the Sixth World Congress of the Communist
International as follows: "The capitalist
world, powerless to eliminate its inherent con-
tradictions, strives to establish internal asso-
Citations, (the League of Nations) the main
purpose of which is to retard the irresistible
growth of the revolutionary crisis and to
strangle the Soviet Proletarian Republics by
war or blockade"
Certainly this analysis of the Communist
has become true. War prepara-
tons against the Soviet Union are going on in
the imperialist camps more feverishly than
ever before. Behind the London Naval Con-
ference, which was supposed to be a step for
the reduction of naval armaments,' there
were definite secret preparations of united
attack against the Soviet Union. President
Hoover gives definite proof for this, refusing
to adhere to his own capitalist Senate's de-
mand to deliver secret documents for examina-
ton by the U. S. Senate
No Reductions.
1t has become clear during the discussion of
ratification of the naval pact, that it does
not contain any elements of naval reductions.
1t only proposes for the elimination of GER
tain out-of-date warships, only in order to
build more up-to-date and more deadly naval
ornaments. The opposition in the u S. SEN
ate, led by Senator Johnson of California, is
only smoke screen, behind which U. S. i'm
perialism is preparing to arm itself, both
against its imperialist rivals (mainly against
Great Brittany, but before ALL against the So
Wet Union and against the coming world revo-
lutionary upheavals of the proletariat The
same kind of feverish war preparation is going
on in every imperialist country.
simultaneously with the war preparations
in imperialist countries, these imperialist pow
ers are preparing countries directly adjacent
with the U. S. S. R., the so-called "Border
