sian ernigrante, hating the prole-
tartan state, dreaming of armed
struggle against this proletarian
state, consciously and Systematically
disrupted the naturalization Of
Soviet Czechoslovakian relations,
thereby damaging the political and
economic interests of their own
country as well.
"The forces in Rumania hostile
to the U.S.S.R. have acted to an
even greater extent in the influence
ing Of foreign policy in Rurnania,
with clear attempts to prompt anti
Soviet adventures. The decisive
changes which have occurred re-
Gently in Europe have forced the
leading circles in CzechoSlovakia
and Rumania to revise their posi-
tons in relation to the U.S.SR.
They realized that the postwar
structure of Europe, which seemed
stable and firm in the beginning,
has undergone severe processes Of
exposure and destruction.
THE activities Of imperialist fac
tors in Europe are increasing, con-
shutting attempts to further arming
with a new redivisioi1 of the Euro
pean map in mind But the strug-
gle of the contradictory interests of
big capitalist powers threatens fatal
consequences to number OF coun-
tries who may become victims of
imperialist expansion. It is not
accidental that maps of the future
middle Europe, already hung up by
German Cabinet leaders. swallow up
whole countries now independent.
1t is not accidental that the oues
ton is being discussed in fascist
newspapers and journals about
what the fate is to be of those coun-
tries having no right to existence. :
The Danube Basin has already been
converted into a drillground. the
possession of which will be deter
mined by violent struggle, and
over which storm clouds are becorn-
ing increasingly thicker. The war
danger in this section of Europe is
no more the perspective of the re-
mote future. An atmosphere Of in
stability, a feeling Of approaching
storm, is beginning to tell upon the
policies of the countries of south
eastern Europe.
simultaneously, the economic and
defensive power of the U. S. S. r.
have grown immeasurably, and have
made it country which is playing
an ever-greater role in the inter-
national situation, utilizing its in
fluence for the strengthening of
peace, for the struggle against the
war danger. While not long ago the
Soviet proposals concerning the
struggles for peace made by Lit
vinoff at the Geneva Conference
were ignored. and are met with a
most unfriendly attitude at the
present movement, the Importance
of the Soviet country AS a decisive
factor for peace was realized by all
those who are not interested in
preparations for fresh war, be-
cause they expect nothing positive
from it. The consistent peace policy
of the U. S. S. R. is yielding its
fruits.
ut is not accidental that while
the July 1888 convention at London
failed, Litvinoff signed there a def
milton of aggression, which defini-
ton played the most important role
in the field for the consolidation
for security. Similarly, now at
Geneva, with background of a
futile disarmament conference dis

the processes of feverish armament
are going on and the weapons for
approaching war are being forRd,
