SCalln Jnen QWellS on a number OF
facts rejecting the successes Of the
peace policy of the Soviet Union,
emphasizing two of the most import
ant significance.
1.-THE first recent improvement in
relations between the Soviet Union
and the policy between the Soviet
Union and Poland, and between
the Soviet Union and France took
place recently. This does not mean,
fcourse, that indicated process of
rapproachment be considered as sffi-
GENTLY firm as assuring final success.
Surprising and zigzags in policy, for
instance Of Poland, where anti-Soviet
sentiment is still strong, cannot by
far be considered excluded. But a
change towards the improvement in
our relations, irrespective of results
in the future, is a fact deserving to
be noted and put to fore as a factor
for i'm proving the cause of peace.
What has caused this change, what
is its stimulus?
Victories of U. S. S. r. Peace Policy
First of all the growth In the
strength and might of the U. S. S. R..
In our times, it is not customary to
take into consideration the weak;
only the strong are considered. And
then some changes in the policies OF
Germany, rejecting the growth of
revenge and imperialist sentiment in
Germany.
Some German politicians say, in
this connection, that the Soviet
Union at present orientates itself to-
wards France and Poland, that from
an opponent of Versailles treaty it
became an adherent, that this
change is explained by the establish
ment of the fascist regime in Ger
many. This is not correct. OF
course, we are far from being de-
lighted with fascist regime in Ger
many. But that is not the point.
We have never had an orientation
towards Germany just as we have no
orientation towards Poland and
France.
We have orientated ourselves in
the past, and are ORIGINATING our
selves at present on U. S. s. r., only
on U. s. S. r. (Thunderous applause)
And if interests Of U. S. s. r. de-
mand rapproachment> with some
countries or others which are not in
terested in violating peace, we do not
hesitate in agreeing to that. The
fact of the matter is, that even be-
fore the advent to power OF the
present Germany politicians, and
particularly after their advent, a
struggle began in Germany between
two political lines, between the old
policy which was reflected in the
treaties between the U. S. S. R. and
Germany and the new" policy,
which fundamentally reminds one of
the policy of the former German
Kaiser, who at one time had oc-
cupied the Ukraine and undertook
an offensive against Leningrad
turning the Baltic countries into a
place d'armes for such offensive.
Moreover, the new" policy quite
obviously has the upper hand over
the old policy. 1t should not be con-
sidered an accident that the men OF
the new" policy are getting the up
per-hand in everything, while the ad-
herents of the old policy are in dis
favor. Neither is the famous decla-
ration of Hugenburg i'll London ac-
cidental, just as the less known
declarations of Rosenberg who d.
reefs the foreign policies of the
ruling party in Germany are not &C
cidental. That, comrades, is the fact
of the matter.
I also have in mind the resumption
Of normal relations between U. S. S
r. and U. S. A. there can be nc
doubt that this act is of the most
serious significance in whole system
Of international relations. 1t is not
only that it raises chances of the
