sharpening war danger throughout
the world, and calling on all workers
to combat the attempts Of the capt.
talists to plunge the workers into an
other bloody conflict, the Pan-Pa-
eific Trade Union Secretariati here
has issued an appeal to all workers
for the Defense of the Soviet Union
and for active support to the revolu-
tionary movements Of China, India,
Indo-Chins, Indonesia and Formosa.
The statement in part, reads:
What has been obvious for a very
long time now finds a new and most
o'---7i1g corroboration: The prep
aration of imperialist intervention
var against the First Workers
Republic of the U.SSR. is no longer
a matter for speculation or conjec-
ture; its perspective, its moro con-
crete planning, the distribution Of
roles among the various imperialiSt
powers and their vaSsal States sur
rounding the U.S.SR., the strategic
plans of attack, and even the date
for the armed intervention against
the US.S.R. are now revealed to the
whole world as result of the dis
coyery and arrest of the counter-rev-
dictionary persons. and organizations
acting as the direct agents and tools
of the imperialists within the Soviet
Union. Proven and corroborated facts
show that the armed attack and in
tervention are planned for the early
part of 1881; the leading imperialist
statesmen of France, Britain and the
other powers are directly involved
and named as the organizers and
headers of the attack (Poincare,
BRAND. etc.
d. The reasons for this imperiahst in
PREVENTION are today clear to every
thinking and class conscious worker
in every part of the world. The First
Workers Republic with its victorious
proletariat are actually engaged in
building. up Socialism; they have al
ready completed successfully the first
two years of Socialist Construction;
with every year, every month, week

Ion (mighty socialist industrial giants
Is we'll as gigantic collectives and
q cialized farms the position of the
h.S.SR, in relation to the capitalist
world is becoming more and more
invulnerable; the very existence OF
the USSR. and its steady and phe-
nomenaI progress, gives to the world
.proletariat. and to all oppressed and
exploited peoples Of the colonial and
semi colonial world a mighty fortress
and base for the international revo-
lutionary movement and for the
struggle against Imperialism and
CAPITALISM.
Our task as revolutionary workers
and examinations are clear: The only
-vay to combat imperialist war is by
war against imperialism and capital
ism at home. In China, the workers
pnd peasants must intensity a hun
dredfold their struggle against i'm
perialisIn and against the counter-rev-
7oIutionary Kuomintang and the mill
-tarists who, during the Chinese East
ern Railway conflict have unmasked
themselves as the tools of the imper-
ialist hounds against the U.S.S-R. In
eoordinated action with the revolu-
tioaary peasants movement and the
Workers and Peasants Soviets and
Red Armies, the industrial proletariat
in the industrial centers must unfold
the broadest mass action against i'm
perialisrn and Kuomintang militar-
ism, in conjunction with the Defense
of the Soviets of China and with
their daily mass struggles in the shops
and factories. The slogan Defend
Soviet Russia and Soviet China"
must resound throughout the length
and breadth of the world and serve
as the rallying cry of revolutionary
struggle and for the mobilization of
tens Of millions of workers and peas
ants. In India, Indo-China, Korea,
Formoss. Philippines, and in Indo-
nesia, Malay States and all other CO.
loniaI and semi colonial countries, the
struggle against imperialism and the
national bourgeoisie - who are the
agents and allies Of the imperialists
against the workers and peasants
revolutionary movement-must be in
4ensified and organized on a real
mass basis, under the leadership Of
the revolutionary organizations of the
proletariat.
