FORTRESS

A NEW system, new world, that and is the
powerful lesson which the existence of the Soviet
Union with the advancing victorious construction
of socialism continually brings to the consciousness
of the exploited and oppressed in all countries This
bulwark of the world proletariat must fall if the
bourgeois social order is to be saved from the
threatening revolutionary instruction of the
masses From this standpoint the mperialists have
struggled against the Soviet Union for sixteen years
and tried to provoke it into war. From the war of
the intervention forces of 1917 from the robbery of
Besssrabia by Rumania UP to the march of Pill
sudski on Kiev from the ARGOS raid in London and
the occupation of the Soviet embassy in Peking from
the murder of the Soviet Ambassadors Vorovsky and
Vokov up to the most recent sabotage of diplomatic
recognition of the Soviet Union from the innumer-
able campaigns of provocation up to the offers of
intervention of German fascism and the war ad-
vance of the japanese troops against the Soviet
frontiers in the Far East, has been one path and
one goal intervention of world capital against the
Soviet Union for the overthrow of the proetarian
dictatorship.
However deep the differences in the camp of
world Imperialism may be-, they still recede in com
par1son with the chief contradictions between the
capitalist and socialist worlds. The overthrow of
the proetarian dictatorship becomes crystaized ever
more clearly as the main goal of the mperialists
The weakening of capitalism by the world economic
Crisis ana tne general sharpening of the danger
has not removed the possibility of an armed on
slaught the Soviet country of its force but has
on the contrary intensified it. Because the bour-
geolsie becomes weaker at moment when the
Soviet power is growing in strength and consolida-
ton the question of decisive solution by forces
OF the antagonism between capitalism and Social
ism takes on acute character
The 1inperalists hope to cut through the in
soluble tangle OF their own contradictions at the
expense of the Soviet Union, they hope to be able
to take possession of the mmeasurable wealth of
raw material and the unlimited market of this
country and to solve their vexed problems by the
partition of Soviet territory. The overthrow of the
proetarlan dictatorship is to be at the same time
the prelude to the crushing of the toilers in all
countries to the suppression of the colonial revolu-
ton and the intensified ensaveent of the national
minorities.
The danger of world war is an intervention
danger-the intervention danger is the danger of
world war! The advance of japanese imperialism
against China is the prelude to an advance against
the Soviet Union. The japanese imperialists would
IKE to devour the whole Soviet East from the coast
Oh VaoVostok right up to the banks of Lake Baikal
They openly declare that they desire an ant-soyiet
war, they are openly armng for this war From
the west, German fascism is pressing forward and
offers itself to world capital as storm division
against the fortress of the world proletarat ts
reward to consist in freedom to arm and annexation
OF the Ukraine. Britain stands in alliance with
German and japanese fascism and exerts all its
influence for establishing united front of inter

lmperlalst camp at the expense of the Soviet Union
and which Is exerting every effort to avoid war in
the imperialist camp In almost all capitalist coun
