Struggle Intensified

Firstly, the sharpening internal
situation of capitalist countries, the
increasing struggle between them
in connection with the duration of
the economic crisis, and secondly,
the growth of the power of the
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
In connection with this, it is par
ticularly important to note the fol-
lowing facts. During the period
under report, the struggle between
victor countries and defeated coun-
tries has intensified, and along with
this, there took place, particularly
in certain parts of Europe, an in
crease in the work behind scenes
for the regrouping of forces in the
event of war, and an increased
search for allies in all parts of the
world. simultaneously, the devel-
opment of the relations of the
USSR. with capitalist countries
disclosed a considerable increase in
the role of the U.SS.R. as an inter-
national factor, especially as a fac
tor for peace and safety.
Passing to the concrete facts Of
the period under report, we should
speak firstly of the restoration Of
diplomatic relations by the U.S.SR.
with many states.
Here we should mention countries
like the U.SA., China, Spain, Hun
gary, Rumania, Czechoslovakia, Bull
garia and Albania. OF great signi-
f1cance IS the restoration of normal
relations with America. For Is years
the U.S.A. adopted the position of
denying the Soviet Union recogni-
ton on principle. On this question
the U.SA. acted under the flag of
irreconciliable defense of the prin-
ciple of the capitalist world against
the new Soviet world. Evidently,
until recently, it was considered that
whatever happened to the others,
rich America would be able to main
this position. But matters turned
cut, otherwise, than the former gov
ernments Of America thought.

Contrast With Capitalism

1--WE cannot, however, speak only
of ourselves and our construction
work when we are encircled by
capitalist countries. Naturally, we
are led to compare what takes place
here and what takes place in capt.
talist countries. The Union of Sow
let Socialist Republics is one world
living its own life. The country of
the Soviets is still the only Socialist
republic, although it is a Socialist
union of many large and small peo-
pies, of many nations with con-
siderable individual peculiarities in
their mode of life. Capitalist coun-
tries represent a different world.
This world lives its own life distinct
from ours. Recent years have shown
with special force what is the path
of the development of capitalist
countries at the present day.
-Four years ago, at the Congress
of the Soviets, it became necessary
to speak about the world economic
crisis, a profound crisis which en-
quilted all capitalist countries. Have
these countries emerged from the
crisis since that time? No, they
haven't. 1t isn't because we are OPP
ponents of capitalism that we must
speak, during its sixth year, of the
economic crisis, of the commissions
which are shaking capitalist coun-
tries.
Not only the enemies" Molo-
tov said, "but even the support

Forward to Final Victory of Socialism, Molotov

The life of the masses has changed,
Now we are living in a new world
under completely new conditions
We have achieved tremendous up
surge in national economy, which
goes steadily forward because the
basis of its development is the vic
tory of the new order.
"The victory of Socialism, sig
nifying the victory of the prin-
ciple of social ownership, has fun
damentally changed the face of
our country, our class structure

strenuously the class enemy still
tries to hold on to its former posi-
ton, our work of construction
undermines every pillar of the old
society, and places In their stead
the new Socialist relations, built
on a foundation of conscious dis
cipline.

Crisis of Capitalism

New facts continually show that
the special meaning of the present
economic crisis is comprehensive
only if we realize that the general
crisis of the capitalist system
developing before our eyes is al
ready in its second decade. The
process of the decay of capitalism
is becoming intensified more and
more. The crisis has affected all
capitalist countries. Not only indus
try, but every branch of agricul-
ture is passing through a period of
crisis. The crisis has affected COM
merce, credit, and all other phases
of economic life in capitalist coun-
tries.
1.-THE level of industrial produc-
ton has never fallen so low as in
recent years, and in the past there
was never a situation when the
crisis dragged out over five years.
Last year brought no important
changes in the development of the
economic crisis, although the world
level of industrial output has slight
ly risen, as compared with the
previous year.
mo country has yet reached the
level of 1929, when the crisis had
only begun. The industrial output
Of the United States is still SO per
cent lower than in 1929. The level
of industrial output in France dur
ing 1894 fell even below that of
1888, and was % per cent lower
than before the crisis, while Italy
has suffered decline of 20 per
cent. Germany shows an increase
in industrial output during 1884,
but nevertheless the industrial pro-
duction of Germany is IA per cent
lower than in 1929. In Great Britain
the industrial output approached
the nearest to the 1929 level, but
even here industry has not reached
even pre-war levels.
cat the same time the volume
of industrial production in the Sow
let Union during 1884 comprised
239 per cent, as compared with 1929.
Altogether, the volume of world
industrial production, not counting
the Soviet Union, is still "a per cent
below the 1929 level. These facts
fully confirm the conclusions of
Comrade Stain at the Seventeenth
Congress of the Communist Party
of the Soviet Union.

agreement, it will pay on it, not by
token payment, as is often the Gus
tom nowadays in many bourgeois
countries, but will pay promptly, not
in promises, but in cash. (Applause.)
1t follows from this that now, more
than ever, we have the possibility
Of ensuring normal conditions for
our foreign trade.
But while developing political
and commercial relations with other
countries, the Soviet Union well
understands the significance of a
reliable defense of its borders. Who
can deny that not single country,
small or large, has ever been
threatened, or is threatened, with
seizure by the Sovie Union? But
on the other hand, who can deny
that the peoples of the Soviet Union,
occupied with peaceful endeavors,
are worthy of really reliable de-
lenses on the frontiers of their
country? (Applause)
During the last few years we
have built no small number of for
titled districts, with necessary arms,
on our Western and Eastern From
tiers. But these ornaments can
not be transferred from our ter
ritory to the territory of other coun-
tries. They are intended to resist
attacking forces. Our navy is grow
ing as result of the building of
defensive types of vessel, mainly
submarines, whose defensive signif1-
canoe is well known. Our artillery.
tanks and aviation forces are grow
ing in number, and we must admit
we have worked with special inten-
sity in this respect. (Applause.)
Our country, where there was
not and is not economic crisis. is
separated from the capitalist
coRntries, where crisis has caused
and still causes tremendous Gala
mites, by the frontier of the
Union of Socialist Soviet Repub-
lies. (Applause.)
AAC HOEhcIS hOW see CuaI In
the capitalist countries, with any
system of administration, from
parliamentary to fascist, that
economic crises, with their baneful
results, are inevitable. And con-
cisely. they see that these evils
are abolished in the country of
socialism. The workers are now
becoming convinced, not only by
Marxist theory but by actual facts
before everyone's eyes, which of
these social orders removes eco
nomic crisis and opens up I'M
limited possibilities for economic
and cultural improvement.
Just as Russia in 1917 with its
October revolution showed the
path towards the termination of
the world slaughter, drawing this
country out of the war and thus
aving millions of people from
death, SO our country has shown
during these last five years the
way out of economic crisis and
how the workers can attain this.

Comparing the Soviet Union
with bourgeois countries, especially
during these last years, discloses the
principles and world significance OF

which crises do not exist" cloud

not do everything in its power to
insist on general, or at least maxi
mum disarmament. It is not our
business to defend the Geneva dis
armament conference, but we do
not doubt that the efforts of Soviet
diplomacy at this conference, which
became widely known in many
countries, will not disappear fruit
lessly.
THE logical continuation of this
policy is our proposal to convert the
disarmament difference, from
which some members wish to quick
ly rid themselves, into a permanent
conference for peace, into an organ
constantly striving to avert war.
This proposal will be discussed
again by other countries at the in

In speaking of the restoration Of
normal relations with China, Mo-
lotov, in conclusion, mentioned the
rumors about the sovietization Of
Sinkiang. 1T is extremely obvious
said Molotov, that special efforts
were made to spread this SANDER

policy towards China is known to
all, and cannot be concealed by
spreading fictions. I consider it nee
esssry to stress the real Soviet
policy regarding China. The Soviet
Union considers incompatible with
its policy the seizure of the territory
of other countries, and without
question is supporter Of the inde-
pendence, inviolability. and sover-

the danger of external complica-
tons, the danger Of war. In the
search for a way out of the crisis
and the long drawn-out depression
the bourgeois classes are increasing
their pressure on the workers and
on the toilers.
THE striving to Chamber out Of
the crisis by this pressure at the
expense of the working classes and
toiling peasants determines the in
ternal policy of bourgeois govern
ments. The relics Of parliamenta-
rism and bourgeois democracy are
being abolished, sometimes openly,
sometimes in a concealed form.
"The policy Of using direct vio-
lence and terror against the toilers
is becoming more and more popular
with the bourgeoisie. This leads to
a sharpening of the internal situa-
ton of capitalist countries. At the
same time, the relations between
different capitalist nations are de-
veloping with increased intensity
in the direction Of renewed struggles
for foreign markets, passing more
and more frequently into CONNER
cial and currency warfare. Pacifist
talk by bourgeois governments is
disappearing into the past. Pacifism
is no longer fashionable. In bour-
geois countries the extreme i'm
perialists among the business lead
ers are coming closer to the as
sumption Of power, and are weigh
ing more and more openly the pros
pect Of new wars for plumber,
hoping to emerge from the crisis
through war.

MOSCOW, Feb. / (By Wireless
and eloquently referring to
the complete solidarity among the
delegations from all the republics of
the U. S. S. r. behind the internal
and foreign policies of the Soviet
Union, v. M. Molotov summed up
the discussion on the report of the
government, which was concluded
yesterday at the Seventh All-Union
Congress of the Soviets.

ers of capitalism cannot deny the
fact that during all these years
the economic crisis has torn CAPT
talist society apart and still con-
tinues to do so. For this reason
we must speak again and again
about the economic crisis in capt.
talist countries, about to how low
a level the economy of these cOun-
tries has fallen, of how work in
the cultural sphere is being cut
short, how the struggle between
the exploiting and exploited
classes is becoming more and
more intense. We must also speak
of how the struggle between diff
ferent countries is growing
sharper, and the war danger in
creasing.
