THROUGHOUT the capitalist press in the
United States we see the cry for war against
the Soviet Union Through all these quotations
from the various newspapers from coast to
coast we see the proof of the war plot against
the Soviets Here is the documentary proof of
what Senator Copeland admitted was the war
plans against the Soviet. Copeland in a speech
on July appealed for an embargo" against
Soviet products. This was to be followed by at
ten1pts to stir up counter-revolutionary action in
the Soviet Union, which was to lead to interven-
ton by the imperialist powers Ambassador
Edge also on July f. appealed to the French i'm
peralists to be quick about preparing war-to-
gether with Wall Street-against the USSR
In the following quotations the plot is clear:
Charleston, s. G., POST, June 28
But it must be recognized, that this de. en-
bargo) constitutes economic warfare and that if
entered upon will have to be relentlessly pressed
and that in the course of time might eventually
dvelop into warfare of violence. In short. if the
U S. is to declare policy of non-intercourse
with Russia e.. it will in effect initiate along
the whole economic front an offensive of the
captalistc against the conmunistic system
Rockford, Ill, STAR, June Is
1T is not improbable that the new rapproch-
ment with Europe on the war debt and repara
tons moratorium may have something to do
with the Russian decision (the Treasury Depart
ment rurnored embargo on January -. Russia
Is an even greater problem to European coun-
tries than it is to the U, S. in its potential
dumping policies and an informal agreement
freezing Russia out of international trade would
relieve a situation that has become increasingly
burdensorne to western industry"
Chicago TRIBUNE, July
Dispatch from Berlin reads: Arnold Rech-
berg, German potash king, says, A study of
present market conditions and police reports on
the activities of Soviet agents reveal that they
and their aides are undertaking a systematic
shrinkage Of world markets and ripping down
all possibilities of a return to prosperity Con-
certed action of America, England, Germany
and France-if necessary, a blockade against
Russia is the only remedy, according to Rech-
berg"
Charlotte n c., NEWS, June 20
IN the present Russian situation instructive
w. it appears to be concluded that war will be
the inevitable consequence for the new devices
Of internal operations of Russia, that the other
fearing the outcome of what has been under
taken in that vast country, will be forced into

Russian cheap labored commerce"
Percival P. Baxter. former governor of Maine,
IN the Portland Sunday Telegram of June 81:
They lie. the Soviets) must be opposed with
a united front and an economic boycott at this
stage in their characterization program seems to
be the only way to accomplish the desired re-
suits"
by 1885 it is claimed Russia will be self-sup
porting in military equipment and absolutely
protected against foreign invasion. With this in
prospect it is no time for other nations to in
dulge in extensive disarmament"
I'm campaign of this sort lie. against the
SUI it should not be difficult to obtain the
united support of the loyal Newspapers in this
country so that those business men of the U. s.
now trading with the Soviets would feel the
pressure of an awakened public sentiment that
would impress them with the fact that some
thing bigger is at stake than their own profits"
