toriously fulfilled its first Five Year
Plan, and is successfully carrying
out the second Five Year Plan. 1t
has been transformed into a power
ful Socialist country with which all
the capitalist states are forced to
reckon.
The defense capacity of the
U. S S. R. is a generally-recognized
fact which even the rabidest en-
cmies Of the Soviet toilers speak Of
respectfully. But does this make
the peace policy of the Q. S. S. r.
a less insistent question? On the
contrary, the U. S. S. R. continues
with still greater force and double
energy its struggle for the MAIN
tsnance of peace.
Confident of the Future"
THE U. S. S. r. is strong and
powerful and confident of the
future. The toiing masses of the
Soviet Union, who are ready at any
minute, at the call of the Commu-
mist Party and Soviet government,
to stand up in defense of their
homes and country, calmly con-
tinue the great work Of constructing
new life.
"Lenin's Party, under the lead
ership of the leader and teacher
of the proletarian and collective
farm masses, Stain, is leading the
country towards new successes
and victories. For that very rea-
son, the struggle of the U. s. s. r.
for the maintenance of peace is
becoming more insistent and also
more successful. Irrefutable proof
of this is the signature for the
prolongstiOn of non-aggression
pacts with our Baltic neighbOrs,
to end in 1945."
Quotes Lityinoff
"Pravda' further quotes the words
of Lityinoff's speech, made at the
time of the signing of the protocol:
THE war danger threatening all
five parts of the world is spoken
and written of day to day but
hardly anything is heard about the
chances and means Of preventing
this catastrophe which is advancing
upon humanity. Government states
men regard it with sort Of fatalism,
as something quite unavoidable;
the only thing they can think of is
a general re-armament race, arma-
ments which in the past not only
did not prevent wars but slim
ulated them"
Attacks Fascist War Plans
In mentioning the disarmament
conference, ''Pravda" points out that
the latter leaves only a heap of
paper. The mad race for arma-
nnents is proceeding throughout the
whole world, in some countries Sc
cretly and in others openly. The
muddy wave of chauvinism and ma
tionalism is rising ever higher. The
Fascist 'saviors Of mankind openly
advocate the necessity Of letting
blood under the pretext of various
race theories The rabid persecu-
ton of toilers by ruling classes in
all capitalist lands is proceeding;
peoples are being set against each
other.
"It is not accidental" says
"Pravda," that the Soviet govern
rnent made this offer to its Baltic
neighbors. This sector of Eastern
Europe has proved particularly
threatening, due to the efforts Of
various shady Adventures like the
Messrs. Rosenbergs, who regard the
Baltic countries as public
thoroughfare and drill ground for
carrying out their plans to advance
east
The y. S. S. r. is interested in
peace, the maintenance of her from
tiers and the consolidation of the
independence of the Baltic coun-
tries. Peace in the Baltic sector Of
Eastern Europe may be violated by
other states. Therefore the Moscow
protocol would acquire greater force
If other states would also join the
initiative of the Soviet government.
But, whatever the policy of other
states independent of it, the q. S.
S. r. will continue its struggle for
the maintenance of peace. The
U. s. S. R. has once more showed
an example Of its struggle for
peace. The Soviet toilers, confident
of their strength, have once again
showed that they are the strongest
bulwaTk for peace"
