re-division of the world, and carries the pro-
tectionist policy to the extreme, is leading the
capitalist world into period of new imperial
ist wars. The Anglo-American struggle for
world supremacy, the frantic armament race
between Great Britain and the United States,
the titantic pressure of the United States on
British colonial possessions and dominions on
the one hand, and Great Britains desperate
struggles for the retention of her positions,
especially in South America on the other hand.
the whole struggle being conducted behind
screen of military political regroupings and fic-
titious disarmament conference, like the Lon
don Conference which, under the cloak of dis
armament, is working for the re-armament of
the navies on the most up-to-date technical
bass-are accompanied by the growth of an
tagonisms in Europe itself, which is accentu-
ated by the growing rivalry between American
capital and its European competitors on the
world market
Under these circumstances, the Young Plan,
which is program of struggle now being car
ried out under the hegemony of American fl
nance capital by the bourgeoisie of the victori-
countries in agreement with the finance
oligarchy of Germany, represents: (a) a plan
to subjugate the German proletariat, to lower
its standard of living and to increase its exploit

finance capital of the victorious countries (the
thousands of million extorted from Germany;
consequently, it is plan to renew the capital
ist attack on the working class of these coun-
tries and to lower their standard of living;
(c) plan of financial blockade (the Bank of
International Settlements) and preparation of
military pressure on the U.S.S.R. and finally,
the Young Plan means accentuation of the
struggle within the imperialist camp itself
around questions connected with the division
of the imperialist booty.
In this connection, the Presidium of the &c
CT. calls upon all Sections of the Communist
International, and the British, French and
Italian Communists Parties in particular, to
give active support to the struggle of the
working class of all countries, and of the Ger
man proletariat in particular, against the
Young Plan and the domination of the i'm
perialst bourgeoisie and for the victory of the
revolutionary dictatorship of the working class
In their endeavor to transfer the burden of
the disastrous consequences of the crisis to the
economically and politically enslaved countries,
the ruling imperialist powers are increasing
their pressure on the dependent states as well
as their oppression and financial strangu-
lation of the colonies, and are extending the
datory seizure of the land of the ruined peas
antry.
AS the fierce struggle in the imperialist
camp for the redivision of the world DEVELOPS
the revolutionary movements in the capital
list countries and colonies grow and as the vic
torious development of socialist construction in
the U.S.S.R. progresses, the danger of new i'm
perialist wars, and of military attack on the
U.S.S.R. in particular, grows also The col
lectivization of agriculture and the application
of the policy of liquidating the kulak in the
Soviet Union, which deprives the imperialist
bourgeoisie of its last internal ally in the
event of intervention, cannot but give rise to
renewed activity on the anti-Soviet imperialist
front and to attempt to widen it; they cannot
but give rise to renewed acts of provocation
against the Soviet Union on the part of the
imperialist powers, who in this are strenuously
supported and inspired by social-democracy in
all countries interference of the United States
and France in the conflict on the Chinese East
ern Railway, The rupture of diplomatic relations
between Mexico and the U.S.S.R the anti
Soviet campaign in Great Britain, Germany
and France in defense of the counter-revolu-
tonary clergy in the USSR. and the action of
the pope in coming out at the head of the
whole clerical reaction against the U.S.SR.)
The defense of the Soviet Union from the
menace of an attack by the imperalists is
more than before, the most important
task of all the Sections of the Comintern.
ii. The Parties of the Second International
in Power
g. In the midst of the developing crisis So
cial democracy reveals itself more than ever
before in its role as active instrument of the
policies of the counter-revolutionar bourgeoi-
sie by worsening the economic conditions of
the working Masses converting the state ap-
tatorship and preparing new imperialist wars.
In Germany, the experience of eighteen
months of rule of social-fascism has shown that
at the head of the coalition government it
really fulfilled the will of the German capital
lists, helped them to carry through with increas-
ing ferocity policy of suppressing the work
ing class and preparation of new wars.
Instead of the promised consolidation of peace
and reduction of the burden heaped on the toll
ing masses of Germany by the Versailles Urea
ty and the Dawes Plan, the social-fascist policy
has resulted in the Young Plan which still
further enslaves the working class and toling
masses of Germany to the victorious countries,
means increased military and naval ornaments
and involves Germany in the anti-Soviet front
(acquital of the white guard forgers, treaty
with Poland against the U.S.S.R, etc.,.
Instead of the promised consolidation of poll
teal democracy, the policy of the social-fas-
