Soviet Against War

In strong contrast to the lowered

masses, the New York Times of Dec.
3Oth reports that the year of 1881
has been for the Russian workers a
year OF gain and achievement both
in their personal lives and in the
industrial life of the Soviet Union.
The only real difficulties that the
Soviet Union had to overcome were
those placed there by the boycott of
the capitalist governments, which
made every attempt to crush the So
Wet Union by financial blockade
and refusal of creditspreading bogies
about the red trade menace.
Referring to the Japanese war
plot. The Times correspondent ad-
mits that the Soviet Union has done
its best to ward off the inlperialist
attempts to draw it into war. He
also states that in the coming Dis
armament Conference in February,
Litvinoff will cont, ue to advocate
complete disarmament in line with
the peaceful policy of the Soviet
Union, as against the fake disarma-
