Rumanian government to sign such
a pact with the U. S. S. r., Litvinoff
said cit is possible that the refusal
of the Rumanian government to sign
the nom aggression pact with Russia
is eXplainable not by the opinion of
the Rumanian government itself on
the subject, but by some so-called
external reasons. In the political
encyclopedia the list Of so-called ''in-
dependent" countries enormously
often includes countries that are
really not independent, say, in their
foreign policy, but are in reality
subordinated to the foreign policy of
other countries who are stronger and
therefore dictate their will to some
independent governments. At any
rate, only Rumania and its govern
ment will lose by it."
Pointing out the failure of the
League of Nations to solve the prob
lens in the Far East, Molotov de-
clared:
THE question of International
relations in the Far East affects us
closely. We must In this connec-
ton undertake a series of meas
ures. The Soviet Government
more than a year ago proposed to
conclude aggression pact
with Japan. Recently the japanese
government informed us of its re-
fusai to conclude such non-aggres-
sion nanf AT nraSan% ffst9a
Japanese ProvOcations.
Referring to the persistent cam
paign of war provocation by the
japanese imperialists and their press,
Molotov continued:
Recently it went as far as pub
LEGATION ythe Japanese War Min
istry of provocative communica-
tion about the Soviet Government
and its future embassy in China,
and despite categorical denial ON
our part of these anti-Soviet in
ventions, the Japanese Foreign
Minister Uchida repeated them in
the japanese parliament on jan
uary 81"
Summing up, Molotov states "the
international situation again reminds
us of the necessity of increased
vigilance, particularly of special at
tention TO the situation in the Far
East. This must find its expression
in all our work and in all our con-
struction which is basis for the
growth of our economic and political
power"
U. 5. s, r. VS.. Capitalism.
In an earlier portion of his speech,
devoted to the tasks of 1898. Molotov
gave much attention to the great
and constantly growing contrasts be-
tween conditions in the Soviet Union
and conditions in the crisis-torn
decaying capitalist world. Regard
ing the tasks of 1888, he observed that
the best proof of the fulfillment of
the first Five Year Plan is the plan
providing for increasing industrial
production during 1888 by over Is
per cent. Can another country be
found, he asked, which will show
even per cent increase? He pointed
out that during 1888 wages viii again
be increased, this time from to 10
per cent. Can another country be
found which is even giving a pledge
not TO reduce wages, he asked.
Regarding the plan to increase
the yield of the harvest by 10 per
cent, Molotov pointed out that in
the capitalist countries agriculture
was in state of ruin. He showed
how the development of planned
economy in the Soviet Union was
made possible only by the aboii-
ton of private property, land and
the means of production and sub
stituiing socialist property held and
controlled by the toiling masses.
While the tasks of the first Five
Year Plan were the reconstruction OF
heavy industry and transport, the
new tasks, he declared, will be the
mastery Of industrial organization
and agriculture on the basis of the
new technique. These tasks, he said,
involve the further raising of the
