There are a number OF attrac-

are conspicuous. This distinguished
cluster reveals but six or seven stars
to the naked eye, while the tele-
scope brings out 1000. However,
the actual stars of the cluster may
be picked out by their uniform mo-

tried to "barrcade" itself against Bolshevism.
AS we know, it did not succeed. 1t failed be-
cause Bolshevsm is everywhere and all over,
not coming in from outside, but growing from
within. 1t would seem that no countries could
be better "barricaded" against the Russian
Bolsheviks than China, India, and Indo-Chna?
And what do we see? Boshevism is growing
there and will continue to grow, in spite of
all safety cordons," for the reason that the
conditions there obviously favor the growth of
Bolshevism What has this to do with the
propaganda of the Russian Bolsheviks? 1t
would be different matter if these capitalist
gentlemen could "barricade" themselves in
some way against the economic crisis, the pow
erty of the masses, the unemployment, the
low wages, the exploitation of the workers
then matters would be different, and there
would be no Bolshevist movement in their
countries. But this is just the point: Every
rogue would like to excuse his weakness or
incapacity by a reference to the propaganda of
the Russian Bolshevks.

The boycott of British textiles in India is

of helping the capitalist class to rationalize
industry, at the expense of the workers. The
capitalists of the textile industry, one Of The

September, of all wool workers.

The labor takers offered to accept a reduc-

an overwhelming majority, negotiations be-

not crash as lamentably? Everybody can see
that the Bolsheviks are incomparably stronger
now than at that time, both economically and
politically, and with respect to the defensive
powers of the country. And what of the work
ers of the capitalist countries, who will not
tolerate the intervention against the Soviet
Union, who will fight against the intervention,
and will if necessary be able to attack the cap
italists from behind? Would it not be better
to adopt the course of developing trade rela
tions with the Soviet Union, a course to which
the Bolsheviks raise no objection? This is the
source of the tendency towards the eontinu-
alton of friendly relations with the Soviet
Union.
Hence we have two series of factors and two
different tendencies, working in different d.
rections:
u The policy of undermining the economic
relations of the Soviet Union to the capitalist
countries, the policy of provocatory attacks on
the Soviet Union, open and concealed work in
preparation of an intervention against the
Soviet Union. These are factors endangering
the international position of the Soviet Union.
1t is to the effect of these factors that such
facts are to be attributed as the rupture of
the Conservative English cabinet with the
Soviet Union, the seizure of the Chinese East
ern Railway by the Chinese militarists, the
financial blockade of the Soviet Union, the
crusade" of the clergy, headed by the Pope,
against the Soviet Union, the organization of
acts of sabotage on the part of our specialists
by the agents of foreign stations, the organi-
cation of arson and explosions such as those
committed by some of the employees of the
LENA Goldfields," the assassination of repre-
sentatives of the Soviet Union (Poland), the
chicanery employed against our exports (U. S.
A., Poland, etc.,
p The sympathy and support given to the
Soviet Union by the workers of the capitalist
countries, the growing economic and political
strength and the growing defensive powers of
the Soviet Union, and the peace policy steadily
adhered to by the Soviet power. These are
factors consolidating the international situa-
ton of the Soviet Union. 1t is to the effect
of these factors that such facts are to be at
ributed as the successful liquidation of the
Chinese Eastern Railway conflict, the reas-
sumption of relations with Great Britain, the
development of economic relations with the
capitalist countries, etc.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-07-19

The international position of the Soviet
Union is determined by the conflict of these
two factors.
By 1t has been said that the stumbling
block preventing the betterment of economic
relations with the bourgeois states is the debt
question. l believe that this is not argu
ment for the payment of the debts, but a pre-
text in the hands of the aggressive elements
in favor of the intervention propaganda Our
policy in this matter is clear and perfectly sub
stantiated. On the condition that credit is
granted to us we are prepared to pay a small
part of the pre-war debts, regarding this
additional interest for the credit. Without
this condition we cannot and may not pay.
Is more demanded of us? With what right?
Is it perhaps not known that these debts
were incurred by the Czarist government,
which was overthrown by the revolution, and
for whose obligations the Soviet government
can undertake no responsibility? Much is said

onisms of world capitalism. But besides these
antagonisms still another antagonism exists.
l speak of the antagonism between the capt.
talist world and the Soviet Union 1t is true
that this antsgonism is not of an inner-cap-
italist nature. 1t is the antagonsm between
capitalism as totality and the country in
which socialism is in course of construction.
This does not however prevent it from dis
rupting and shaking the very foundations of
capitalism And more than this. 1t exposes
the roots of the contradictions inherent in cap

towards adventurous attacks on the Soviet

crisis.
The most conspicuous bearer of this ten
dency at the present time is the bourgeois
France of today, the home of the profound
love of the Pan-Europe," the "cradle" of the

military country among all the aggressive and

bourgeoisie is thoroughly aware of this. 1t
would be an excellent thing-it thinks-if the
intervention would pass off smoothly and end
in the defeat of the Soviet Union. But what
if it ends in a defeat of the capitalists? One

shipwreck. The first intervention broke down

Mooney innocent
But all this means nothing to the California
Supreme Court or to the governor of Cali
fornia. All this has not in the past, and can
not now, secure unconditional freedom to Bill
ngs and Mooney.
The only possible method of struggle for
the release of Billings and Mooney is a mass
challenge of the American working class
against this frame-up and against the franz
ers. 1t is exactly this mass challenge that the
socialist party and the liberal campaign for
the release of Billings and Mooney want to
prevent. They prevented it once before. In
January, 1919, at the National Mooney De-
tense Conference the working class of Amer
lea was ready for general strike to challenge
the frame-up against Billings and Mooney and
to force their release. The socialists and lib
erals prevented the strike decision at that con-
ference and sabotaged the movement for the
freeing of Billings and Mooney.
The freedom of Billings AMI Mooney depends
on the fist of the militant workers of Amer
lea. The courts, the prosecution, the governor
of California, are all guilty of the frame-up.
They are all accessories to the crime of keep
ing Billings and Mooney in prison.
