FRENCH ASK

mands Imperialist

u. S. FAVORS PLAN
Means Increase of

NEW YORK. An
Dire Tardieu, chief of
the French delegation
to the Geneva disarm-
ament farce and most
extreme reactionary in Europe,
exposed clearly the anti-Soviet
aims of the imperialists at the
conference when he took the
floor Saturday and in his open
ing speech demanded an imperialist
military united front against the
U. S. S. r.
An International imperialist army
made up of the armed forces of the
big robber powers to guarantee the
security of the world"-this is the
brazen and shameless proposal Of
peaceful French imperialism. OBJ
viously such an army can have only
object-to attack the Soviet Union
and the revolutionary movement in
the colonial semi colonial countries.
The American delegation, accord
ing to tn efatest press dispatches,
will consider the suggestion seriously
Other reports state that the pro-
posal aroused lively interest and was
received with an open mind.
In commenting on the proposal
editorially, the yesterdays issue of
the New York Times, which speaks
for the American bankers and in
dustrialists, says:
ut would seem that the true
course for American craftsmanship
would be not to make vain en-
deavors to break it up (the united
front against the U. S. S. r. ed,
but to take advantage of its exist
ance to bring about understandings
which might in the end lead to

In face of the advance of the
japanese troops to the Soviet bor-
der in Manchuria and the open
financing of the Polish and Rou-
manian armies by French imperial
ism, the meaning of the world
front" stands out clearly as a call
for decaying capitalist world front
against the growing Soviet world. 1t
is the world front upon which all
imperialist nations agree and in
which all of these nations are at
present participating against the
Chinese revolutionary masses and the
Soviet Union. The speech OF Tar
dieu serves merely to solidfy this
front and prepare for the final armed
steps against the Soviet Union.
