IMPERIALIST CLIQUES PROVOKE INTERVENTION
VICTORIES OF US.SR PEACE POLICY

cause of preserving peaSe, strengthens
trade relations; it is that it marks a
turn from the past when the U. S. A.
was considered in various countries
as bulwark for all kinds Of anti
Soviet tendencies, and the present,
when this bulwark is voluntarily re-
moved from the path towards mutual
profit of both countries.
Such are two main facts rejecting
successes Soviet peace policy. How
ever, it would be incorrect to think
that during the period under report
everything went smoothly with us.
We may recall the pressure on the
part of Great Britain, embargo
against our export, the attempt to
interfere in our internal affairs, and
to feel us out in order to try the
force of our resistance. To be sure
nothing came of this attempt, the
embargo was lifted afterwards, but
an unpleasant residue of these at
tacks still makes Itself felt in every
thing that concerns the relations be-
tween Great Britain and the Soviet
Union, also in the negotiations for
trade treaty And these attacks
against U. S. S. r. cannot be con-
sidered accidental. 1t is known that
certain part of the British conser-
vatives cannot live without such at
tacks. Just because they are not &C
cidental, will the attack on the Soviet
Union in the future create lnenaces
of every kind and harm. etc.
We cannot also but have in view
the relation between the U. S. S. R.
and Japan which are in need of
serious improvement. The refusal of
Japan to sign non-agression pact,
of which Japan is no less in need
than the U. S. S. r., once more en-
phasizes that in the sphere of our
international relations not everything
is well. The same must be said re-
garding the break Of negotiations con-
corning the Chinese Eastern Rail
way which came about not through
fault of the Soviet Union, and also
regarding the fact Japanese agents
perpetrate impermissible acts on the
Chinese Eastern Railway, lawlessly
arresting Soviet officials on Chinese
Eastern Railway, etc, not to mem
ton the fact that one section of
military persons in Japan openly
propagates in the press the necessity
Of war against U. S. S. R. and the
seizure of its Maritime Provinces
with apparent approval Of other sec
lions Of military, while the Govern
ment of Japan instead Of calling to
order these war incendiaries, pre-
tends that this does not concern 1t.
1t is not difficult to understand
that such circumstances cannot but
create an atmosphere Of disquietude
and uncertainty. OF course, we will
continue resolutely to carry on our
peace policy and strive to improve
our relations with Japan, because we
want to improve these relations. But
not all is dependent on us in this
case. Therefore, We must, at the
same time, adopt all measures to
protect our country against surprises,
and be prepared to defend 1t against
attacks (thunderous applause.
Our foreign policy Is clear. 1t Is a
policy of preservation of peace by
strengthening trade relations with all
countries. The U.S.S.R. has no mind
of attacking anybody, whoever it may
be. We are for peace, and maintain
ing the cause of peace. But we are
not afraid of threats, and we are
prepared to answer blow for blow the
incendiaries Of war (thunder0us APP
plause). Whoever wants peace and
strives towards business relations
with us, viii always find support from
us. But those who should attempt
to attack our country will meet with
so crushing a resistance, that In the
future they will not take it into their
heads to shove their swinish shouts
into our Soviet garden (thunderous
applause). That is our foreign pol
