with regard to Churchill's at
ttacks on the Soviet Union on the
widening Of the Western Polish
frontier at the expense OF the Ger
mans, who in turn had taken those
territories from the Poles, there is
this to say. The decision regard
ing the establishment of the Polish
frontiers was made at the Berlin
Conference OF three powers on the
demands OF Poland. The Soviet
Union on several occasions declared
that 1t considered the Polish de-
mands to be-right and just.
Dissa satisfaction Seen.
TT is possible that Churchill is
dissatisfied with this decision. But
why is Churchill. who did not spare
unkindness to the Russians. hiding
from his hearers the composition Of
those who took part In the Berlin
Conference and the decision which
was accepted unanimously? The
voting was done not only by the
Russians but by the Englishmen
and the Americans.
why was it necessary for Church.
I'LL to bring these questions out:
Churchill argued that the Commu-
mist parties, which were so insignitl-
cant in all OF those Eastern states
Of Europe, have reached such size
that they are trying everywhere to
establish totalitarian control. There
is police rule in those countries
Churchill says) and, except Czecho-
slovakia, there is no real democracy
in any Of them.
"As is known in England at pres
ent there is one party which rules
the country-the Labor party. The
rest Of the parties are barred from
the government OF the country. This
is called by Churchill true democ-
racy, meanwhile Poland, Rumania,
Yugoslayia, Bulgaria and Hungary
are governed by several parties
from four to six parties. And be-
sides the opposition, If it is loyal,
is guaranteed the right to partici-
pate in the government. This
Churchill calls totalitarian and the
government of police.
Churchill Challenged.
ION what grounds? Do you expect
an answer from Churchill? Does he
not understand the ridiculous situa-
ton he is putting himself in by
such speeches on the basis Of totali-
tarianism and police rule. Churchill
would have liked Poland to be ruled
by Staknovkovski and Anders, Yu-
goslavia by Mihailovich and Pavelic,
Rumania by Prince Stirbe and Ra-
descu, Hungary and Austria by some
King from the House of Hapsburg,
and so on.
Churchill wants to assure us
that these gentlemen who came
from the Fascist circles will estab-
lish and guarantee complete democ-
racy. Such Is the democracy of
Churchill. Churchill is twisting the
truth when he is speaking of the
growth Of Communist influence In
Western Europe. One must point
out that he is not quite correct.
THE Communist party influence
had risen not only in Western Eu-
rope, but in nearly all countries OF
Europe before Fascism was supreme,
tt1xt IS, in Germany, italy, Hungary,
Bulgaria, Rumania, Finland and In
those countries occupied by German.
Italian and Hungarian forces
France, Belgium, Holland, Norway,
Denmark, Poland. Czechoslovakia,
Yugoslavia, Greece, Soviet Union
and so on.
Communism Grows.
The growth OF Communist influ-
ence one cannot call accidental. The
Communist influence is due to the
fact that during the difficult years
OF the Fascist rule in Europe the
Communists proved themselves re-
liable, brave fighters against the
Fascist regime and for the freedom
OF the people.
Churchill ometimes refers to the
ordinary people from small houses
He pats them on the back and pre-
tends to be their friend, but these
people are not 30 simple as it seems
at first Churchill Is trying to show.
And the simple people possess their
own views, their own politics and
they know how to defend them
selves. These millions of simple
people voted out Churchill in Eng
land and gave their votes to the
Labor party.
These are the millions of simple
people who in Europe isolated the
reactionaries, the collaborators of
Fascism, and gave the preference to
the parties of the left. And these
millions Of simple people who have
seen and weighed the Communists
during the war and the resistance to
Fascism decided that the Com
munists completely deserve the trust
Of the people. 1t was thus that the
Communist influence grew in Eu-1
rope. Such is the progress of the
historic development.
Churchill Called Worried.
"Of course, such a development
does not appeal to Churchill. He is
worried and he has developed fear !.
But he did not like the establish
.ment Of the Soviet regime in Rus
STA, either, after the end OF the First
World War. Then, too, he rang the
bell of warning and organized the
military crusade Of IA countries|
against Russia with the aim of turn
ing back history. But history has
proved to be stronger than
Churchills intervention and the Dom
