themselves. Even now, with two
years of rich experience in Geneva
negotiations, there is no hope that
such schemes will be adopted by
all countries. Corresponding con-
illusions should be drawn from the
present situation.
IF disarmament, as a means OF
the security of peace, has failed, it
is natural that other means should
be sought, because, for the Soviet
Union it is still a question of secur-
ing peace. If the Geneva conference
appeared incapable of consolidating
universal peace by such means as
disarmament, it does not follow at
all that the Geneva conference must
be buried. as suggested by German
fascists, japanese imperialists, and
bellicose factions of other countries.
Whoever is interested in securing
peace must do his utmost to see
that the conference could feel
about for other guarantees OF peace,
or at least increase measures of Sc

A New Program
THE conference needs a new,
concrete, ef1cacious program of
struggle for the consolidation of
peace. This program was set forth
in LitYinoff's speech. The proposals
Of the Soviet delegation are based
ON a real ejaculation of the situation.
The danger of war and an attack
on the U.S.S.R. growing out of the
intensification of imperialist con-
Predictions is greater than ever be-
fore. These contradictions have also
resulted in a split On the anti-Sor-
let front. There are countries in the
capitalist world which are now
actively striving. and openly prcrar-
ing for an attack on the U.S.SR.

But the Soviet delegation stimuli

Until now, said Litvinoff, peace
conferences were convoked chiefly
after war, for the purpose of shar-
ing the spoils of war, and imposing
heavy and degrading conditions
upon the defeated, redistributing
| territories, readjusting states, and
thus sowing the embryo of fresh
wars. Whereas, the conference l

preventing war, and its burdensome

HAVANA, June (By Cable) =
Declaring that the anti-imperial-
ist struggles of the Cuban masses
and in the United States and Latin
America brought about the annul-
ment Of the Platt amendment, the
Communist Party of Cuba stated
today that the danger of interven-
ton is not lessened. 1t called for
an intensified fight against inter
vention, imperialism and imperialist
war.
The statement of the Communist
Party of Cuba scored the crawling
declarations of Grau San Martin,
ex-President of Cuba. The Commu-
mist Party stated that the new move
of Roosevelt brought no change to
the Cuban toiling masses, who are
exploited by the Wall Street sugar
companies and the bankers. The
country remains more than ever
oppressed by Yankee Imperialism.
Only the rising revolutionary

broad masses who prevented an
application of the Platt amendment
through the landing of troops up
until now can end the oppression
of Yankee imperialism.
The Communist Party statement
further points out that the move is
aimed at lulling the anti-interven-
ton movement, and the anti-impe-
rialist upsurge in Cuba, and the
reinforcing of the war front in the
Caribbean area and South America
by fake gesture of generosity, and
also to bolster up the position of
the reactionary Mendieta concsn-
tration government, which has been
badly shaken by the mass struggles
Mass demonstrations are being
arranged against the retention of
Guantanamo as a Wall Street war
base, to demand the removal of the
warships, to demand the cancella-
ton of the loans of the Chase Ma
tional Bank and other foreign
debts, and declaring that only So
Wet power will give the Cuban
people national liberation.

There are countries which, though
they would not wish to be embroiled
in a war, are practically paving the
road for it, prompting and encour-
aging the war incendiaries. And
finally, there are such countries,
which are presently not interested
in war, and would wish to avert it,,
and therefore agree now to cooper
ate with those who are interested in
the consolidation of peace.
Such is the concrete situation,
making it possible to combine the
efforts of several countries for Sc
curing universal peace by new
means. Rejecting the projects of
complete or partial disarmament
put forward by the U.S.S.R., the
capitalist countries followed their
class interests. Two worlds, two
policies, two classes, clashed in this
case. BY concluding non aggression
pacts with the U.S.S.R., pacts defin-
ing an aggressor, these or those
capitalist countries also follow their
class promptings.
Contradictions Sharper
But here the contradictions be-
tween the iinperialist countries be-
come active. Very many capitalist
countries which rejected Soviet dis
armament projects, thereby prede-
termining the failure of the Geneva
conference at the first stage Of its
existence, are compelled, halfway
to meet this or that peaceable in
itiative of the U.SS.R., since they
themselves are menaced by danger,
and cannot ignore the greater fac
tor of the consolidation of peace,
such as our country constitutes.

where sowing, mostly of winter
crops, have suffered partial damages,
owing to dry weather, May sowing
is satisfactory.
The advantages of the kolkhoz
system have been shown repeatedly.
Whatever couldn't be overcome in
individual farming cases, such as
manifestations of the elements and
nature, have been successfully over
come by collective farmers.
A part Of the damaged sowing
has been resown, in some places
even to an extended volume. In the
majority of the places which were
affected by the May drought the
collectives averted damage to their
crops. They organized timely mass
wedding of grain fields, measures
which had never been adopted be-
fore last year, and with which in
dividual farmers, of course, could
not cope. In many places kolkhozes
even resorted to mass artificial
watering of the fields Such
measures also are only thinkable
under collective, mechanical farm
ing. For the early sowing, in which
much moisture was preserved in the
soil from snow, was properly COM
batted by the kolkhozes collective
farms) by the method of re-working
the fields with tractors.
The result of all this, even In
the drought districts, after the rain
fall, is that the condition of sowing
has been considerably improved.
Throughout the south of the Soviet
Union winter rye is Towering, and
wheat, in places, is already caring.
Summer sowing is also developing
well even in the central districts of
the U. S. S. R., Siberia and the
Urals.
At a rally of representatives of
kolkhozss devoted to the forth
coming harvest, held at Dnjepropet-
rovsk, in the Ukraine, an appeal
was made to the kolkhozes, stating,
Sowing in our kolkhozes is cheer
ing, and strong in promise, although
this was dry spring. Sowing is in
| good condition because we Sowed
early, ploughed the soil well, we'll
timed, sowed good grain, and sowed
collectively. If such dry spring as
we have had come in the time when
we lived on individual scattered
farms, sowing would have looked
sorry. Under collective forms Of
farming we expect a good harvest. .

or later it affects the toilers of all
countries. Let the ruling classes of
Britain, or certain countries stu
ated near the very threshold of
eastern Europe, not create for
themselves the illusions that they
will be able to direct the war in
channels desired by them.
THE calculation of the pillagers
will go awry. And these countries
may find themselves in a not very
pleasant position.
1.-THE speech of Sir John Simon,
foreign secretary OF Britain, is a
brilliant Illustration of the appraisal
of the situation given by Litvinoff.
Simon's oratorical contrivances con-
cealed from nobody the fact that he
spoke against Litvonoff's proposals,
and as an advocate of German faS-
cism Barthou's speech sufficiently
and clearly revealed the sense of
5imon's speech. Simon openly de-

MOSCOW, June l, (by radio
Spring sowing has been successfully
completed in many regions of the
Soviet Union. The Tartar Republic
had sowed 100000 acres by May 25
which is about $4,000 acres more
than have ever been planted here
Prospects for the crops are very
good.
In Western Siberia, at the same
date, there had been 13,750,000 acres
sown, over 100000 of which are in
wheat. This is more than 100000
acres more than was planted a yeal
ago. The new quality of sowing OF
the collective farms, and the sufi-

promise an abundant harvest fol

Favorable weather conditions

has been considerably extended by
the ploughing of new soil which was
formerly uncultivated. BY May 25
this district had sowed 2,057 SOC
acres of grain, including three times
more wheat than last year, and 2
total which had formerly not beer
planted in all the north.
Potatoes planted in the Leningrad
district have increased 92,500 acres
in comparison with last year. Fifty
thousand acres more of garden

in it there are not only workers, but all the

Yes, comrades, you are right. If your ranks
had been healed by real Bolshevik fighters your
heroic struggle would certainly have ended diff
ferently. But such fighters can develop only in
the process of treconcilable class struggle
against the bourgeoisie. However, Social-De-
mccracy failed to carry on such a struggle;
moreover, the Otto Bauers and Friedrich Ad-
lers prevented this struggle. Only in constant
struggle in a united revolutionary front against
faecism will new steeled, fearless fighters grow
