the Trotzkyite M&S1IRkeJM
sheet in the
United States. Sir John simon
The liberal
BrailSford, writing in the New Re-
public (Which also has an editorial
supporting his views accuses the
Soviet Union of following the policy
of Carist imperialism.
The Trotzkyite sheet in its seeth-
ing hatred of the Soviet Union
writes: "Goebbels has already
broadcasted throughout bleeding
Germany that the Soviet Union has
formed technical military alliance
with the thoroughly hated France
against the German people. And
thus the last drop Of revolutionary
blood is drained from the veins of
the German workers. This is the
final stab in the back"
There is not the slightest differ
ence between Goebbels broadcast
ing and the Trotzkyite ISLANDERS
against the Soviet Union. But the
Trotzkyite's hopes are not being re-
allied. The peace policy of the
Soviet Union has become one of the
greatest factors intensifying the
Nazi crisis, increasing the favorable
situation for a revolutionary over
throw of the fascist dictatorship.
FOR all the verbal destruction Of
the Communist Party by the
TI'otzkyiteS, we find today that the
Communist Party of Germany is
recognized as the greatest, most
powerful, living revolutionary force
leading the fight for the overthrow
of the fascist dictatorship After the
Trotzkyite sheet has to its own sat-
isfaction seen the last drop of rev.
dictionary blood drained" in Ger
many, we turn to the latest cable
from Germany by the capitalist
news correspondent, Tom Wilhelm,
International News Service Staff
Correspondent (June 2D and read:
THE second revolution if and
when 1t comes, will be aimed at
the capitalist classes, those who
take the pessimistic view Of the
situation believe. These observers
cite the increasingly turbulent &C
tivities. of the Communists as in
dication of the growing gravity of
the internal situation"
Now what are the facts about the
Soviet's present peace policy? The
Soviet Union has grown and be-
come a tremendous power through
socialist construction. 1t has be-
come gigantic power for peace,
and for a revolutionary peace policy,
The imperialist powers are rushing
to war, but not at an even pace, not
with the same ends or for the same
| purposes. The antagonisms between
the 1mperialist powers deepen. Ger
man faScism wants war immedi-
ately to overthrow the Versailles
peace boundaries, to re-eStablish
the empire of the Kaiser and to
gain new territories at the expense
OF the Soviet Union. Japanese i'm
perialism has already perfected its
war machine against the Soviet
Union in Manchuria. British i'm
perialism supports both the Nazis
and Japan in their aims for irnne-
date war.
In this situation the Soviet Union
makes security pacts and proposes
a permanent peace conference. The
security pacts while made with
France and the Little Entente
(Czechoslovakia, Rumania and
Jugo-Slavia, countries which exist
by virtue of the boundaries fixed by
Versailles) do not exclude universal
pacts.
noes this mean that these CAPT.
u talist countries who enter into
the pacts are any less capitalist or
imperialist? Of course, not. 1t is
only that these governments are not
interested in the forcible revision
of the Versailles Treaty or in the
launching of war at the present
moment. In the present world situa-
ton the Soviet peace deeds act as
an effective monkey wrench thrown
into the war machinery of the most
war-like, the most war-mad of the
imperialist powers. The Soviet
Union is defending the proletarian
revolution, the interests of world
peace, and obstructing the criminal
imperialist powers whose interests.
in the present conjuncture of
events, require an immediate at
tempt to save them from their
doom.
There is no question" Litvinoff
declared, "of military alliances, or
of the division of states into mutu-
ally hostile camps, or still less Of
a policy of enlightenment. We must
not create universal pacts which
would exclude any state wishing to
participate. /. :"
The Soviet peace policy is in the
| interest of all toiling humanity, and
not as Goebbels and the Trotzkyites
say in the interest of French inn
perialism. This fact is being under
stood by the German masses and
the toilers throughout the worlc,
the toilerS who are taking up the
revolutionary fight against their
own imperialists, following the path
of the proletarian dictatorship in
striving to overthrow their own
capitalist governments and make
forever impossible new imperialist
war, or by their anti-war actions
now preparing to transform any
imperialist war into a successful
civil war and victorious revolution.
