longer whether the Soviet system
can endure xxx.
1.-The point is that the Soviet so
cial system has proved to be more
capable of life and more stable
than a non-Soviet social system
that the Soviet social system is 9
better form of organization of so
ciety than any other non-Soviet so
cial system"
"Now for the immediate future, >
he said, 1.-The main thing is the new
five-year plan which soon will be
confirmed. Its main task is tt
restore areas that suffered, to re
store prewar level, and then con
siderably surpass it.
particular attention will be de-
voted to raising the standard Of
| life of the working people by sys.
tematically reducing the cost Of
production of all goods.
Secondly, we are building on
a large scale scientific research
institutes to enable science to de-
velop. I have no doubt that if we
help our scientists, they will not
only catch UP with but surpass
those abroad"
Gas for the further future, our
industry must produce $4,000, 000
tons of pig iron a year, $4,000, 600
tons of steel, 5O0,00O,000 tons Of
coal and 100000 tons of oil.
"Only then can we consider our
country guaranteed against any
eventually"
erich in Events''
Stain said that the eight years
since the first elections in 1887 had
been "a period rich in events Of a
decisive character. The first four
years passed in strenuous work of
the Soviet people in the fulfillment
of the third five-year plan"
Then came four years Of war.
Stain continued, declaring '.it
would be incorrect to think that
the war arose accidentally or the
result of the fault of some of the
statesmen.
although these faults did exist,
the war arose in reality as the in
evitable result of the development
of the world economic and political
forces on the basis of monopoIy
capitalism.
"Our Marxists declared that the
capitalist system of world econ
omy conceals elements of crisis
and war, at the development of
world capitalism does not follow a
steady and even course forward,
but proceeds through crisis and
catastrophe.
The uneven development of the
capitalist countries leads in time
to sharp disturbances in their rela-
lions, and the group of countries
which consider themselves made
quately provided with raw mate
rails and export markets tries usu-
ally to change this situation and
to change the position in its favor
by means of armed force.
"As a result of these factors, the
capitalist world is sent into two
hostile camps and the war fol-
lows. Perhaps the catastrophe of
war could have been avoided if
the possibility of periodic redis-
trloutlon of raw materials and
markets between the countries ex-
listed in accordance with their
economic needs, in the way of CO.
ordlnated and peaceful means.
But this is impossible under
the present capitalistic develop
ment of world economy. Thus as
a result of the first crisis in the
development of the capitalistic
world economy the first World War
arose. The world war arose as a
result of the second crisis.
This does not mean, of course,
that the second world war was a
copy of the first. On the contrary,
the second world war was radical
ly different from the first in its
character.
1T must be kept in mind that the
main Fascist states-Germany,
Japan and Italy-before attacking
the Allied countries had abolished
at home the last remnants of the
Bourgeois Democratic liberties,
had established a cruel, terroristic
regime, had trampled under foot
the principles Of sovereignty and
freedom of the small nations, de-
clared the policy of seizure OF 9TH
er peoples lands as their own
policy, declared for the whole
world to hear that they strove for
world domination and the spread
of the Fascist regime throughout
the world"
