In connection with the conclusio
Soviet Government, "Pravda" writes: (
"The pact with Rome as well as
other pacts concluded by the Soviet
Government acquires particular i'm
portance in the face of the situation
of the severest economic crisis and
the acute intensification of antagon-
isms among capitalist countries.
Large masses in the capitalist coun-
tries can see how capitalism is rent
by economic wars, the race for arma-
mentS, the flames of war in the Far
East. They see the powerful growth
Of socialist economy, the steady
struggle of the U.SSR. for peace.
"The struggle for peace Of the
U.S.S.R. is backed by her ever-grow-
ing power and fraternal solidarity
with the international proletariat.
The Rome agreement stands out
graphically on the background of the
Anti-Soviet campaigns and intrigues
inaugurated by ruling circles of GER
tain capitalist countries.
cat present, the Ludendorfs, while
talking of the stability of Soviet-Ger-
man relations, in reality are SYSTEM
atically undermining them. While
the Rome apact constitutes proof
of the calm confidence of the U.S.SR.
in her power, the policy of German
Fascism is a demonstration of the
weakness and inconsistency of those
leading towards foreign political iso-
lation.
THE colossal economic victory of
the U.S.S.R., the consolidation of the
power of the Soviet country, are facts
which capitalist countries must more
or less take into consideration. Just
as every act of Soviet foreign policy,
the U.S.SR.-Rome Pact is directed
against no one, pursuing only the
aim of protection of peace. The pol
icy of peace was in essence the for
eign policy of the Soviet country,
and the Rome Pact signed soon after
the Franco Soviet Non Aggression
Pact brilliantly confirms it."

'Izvestia" writes on the same sub
ject: "T.he Rome Pact binds both
countries not to attack each other,
to take neutral position in case

country of Socialism wish the U.S.S.R
would isolate herself or embroil her.
self in imperialist antagonisms. Such
elf-isolation would facilitate attack
against her.
Interference by the U.S.S.R. in
imperialist antagonisms would give
the agents Of the borrgeoisie oppor-
tunity to represent the defense of
the U.S.S.R. as defense of any coun-
try which attacks one contracting
party. The antagonism existing be-
tween the italian policy and that of

ism in the imperialist world, in which
the U.S.SR. is not participating. 1t

Imperialism, are ready to assist in
their capacity as canvassers for gun
