u. S. Is Counterweight
To Reds, De GoujIe Saws

PARIS, Oct. 6 (P.-Gen. Charles
de Gaulle told political rally yes
terday that the United States is a
counterweight to the world ambi-
tions of the Soviet Union"
There is not free man in the
world who does not consider this as
salutary," he added.
Gen. de Gaulle made his state
ment in an address delivered before
a crowd of 10000 at political rally
at the Vincennes race track, during
which he called for defeat of Com
munist candidates at Frances mu-
nicipal elections two weeks hence.
He warned his hearers that two
thirds of Europe already is i'm
placably directed by the Soviet die
Itatorship" and described France as

the world.
Dissolution of the Comintern
was acclaimed at the time in
many Allied countries as signal
ing a greater cooperation be-
tween Russia and the western
world. Premier Stain himself
said the move would clear the
way for future organization of
a companionship of nations based
upon their ability.")
The published text of a declara-
tion issued by the Communist con-
ference said that formation of the
new Communist organization was
necessitated by international de-
velopments which had resulted in a
split between the western and east
ern worlds
The declaration blamed the split
on "imperialist politicians in the
United States, whom 1t accused OF
trying to provoke a new war.
Called Tools for Domination.
The Marshall plan and Truman
doctrine were described as tools of
the United States in campaign
for World domination. Asserting
that mo- concessions could be made
to the new course of the United
States and the imperialist camp,
the statement declared:
Full resistance to all manifesto
tions of United States policy on all
lines therefore are called for every
where
The declaration asserted Ameri-
can plans for world domination
could not succeed if Europe's Com
munist parties stood strongly at the
head of all national elements de-
Tending the sovereignty and indie
pendence of their respective ma
tions."
Between the desires of the i'm
perialists to provoke new war and
the possibility of organizing such a
war there is long gap" it said
THE peoples of the world do moi
want war.
The strength and forces standing
for peace are so important and great
that if they are firm and strong in
the defense of peace. and if they
show patience and firmness the ag-
gressors' plan will completely fail"
In addition to striking out at what
1t called American "expansionist'
plans, the statement lashed out a,
"imperialist lackeys," among whom
It classed British Prime Minister
Attlee and French Premier Pau
Ramadier.

LONDON. Oct. 6.-The tert OF
"Declaration on the Interna-
tional Situation" by Communist
leaders from nine European coun-
tries at a meeting in Poland, as
broadcast from Mosco,D yester-
day and translated by the Soviet
monitor:
The representatives of the Yugo-
slav Communist Party, the Bull
garian Workers Party (Communist
the Romanian Communist Party
the Hungarian Communist Party,
the Polish Workers Party, the Com
munist Party of the Soviet Union
(BolsheviD, the French Communist
Party, the Czechoslovak Communist
Party and the italian Communist
Party have exchanged views on the
international situation and agreed
on the following declaration:
AS result of the second World
War and the postwar period, sub
stantial changes have occurred in
the international situation. These
changes are characterized by a new
distribution of the basic political
forces acting on the international
arena, by changed relations between
the victor states in the second World
War and by their regrouping.
While the war was on, the states
allied in the war against Germany
and Japan marched together and
constituted one camp. During the
war, however, differences in the
Allied camp existed both in the
determination of war aims and the
tasks of the postwar peace settle
ment.
The Soviet Union and the demo-
cratic countries considered as the
basic war aims: The restoration and
consolidation of the democratic order
in Europe, the elimination of Ease
ism and prevention of the possibility
Of a new aggression on the party
of Germany, and the establishing of
close durable cooperation among
the European nations.
Allies Charged with Other Aims.
The United States and, in agree.
ment with her, Britain, had other
aims: Getting rid of market COM
petitors Germany and Japan, and
consolidating their dominant posi-
ton.
This difference in the determina-
ton of war aims and the task of
postwar settlement became more
marked in the postwar period.
Two opposite political lines took
shape: At one extreme the policy OF
the U. S. S. r. and the democratic
countries, aimed at disrupting i'm
perialism and consolidating democ-
racy; at the other extreme the policy
of the United States of America and
Britain, aimed at strengthening i'm
perialism and strangling democracy
Since the U. S. S. r. and countries
Of new democracy have become q
hindrance to the realization of the
imperialist plans of struggle for
world domination and the rout of
democratic movements, a campaign
was proclaimed against the U. S
S. r. and countries of the new de-
mocracy, reinforced by threats OF
a new war on the part of the most
Jealous imperialist politicians in the
U. S. A. and Britain.
Thus two camps came into being
the imperialistic anti-democratic
camp with the basic aim of estab-
fishing world domination of Ameri-
can imperialism and routing democ-

in their scrub suits" sterilized
themselves and their instruments
until the patient was rolled out the
door after successful appendec-
tony.
Squeamish members of the teIe-
vision audience, who were afraid
they might witness a rather CORY
procedure, had their fears arrested
by the commentator. He assured
them an appendectomy, though re-
garded as a major operation, is not
accompanied by much loss of blood.
The doctors and nurses in the
operating room were so thoroughly
masked in their normal sterile at
tire that it was impossible to recog-
nize their features.
AS the commentators voice clari-
fled each step in the operation and
the sharp surgical instruments
flashed across the screen, two rooms
full of doctors and visitors to the
District Medical Society's three
day scientific show watched the
operation through television sets at
the Hotel Statler.
Tomorrow, another operation will
be telecast as part Of the assembly
program. This one will come from
Doctors Hospital, where chest

racy, and the antl-lmperlanSt DEM
ocratic camp with the basic aim of
disrupting Imperialism, strengthen
ing democracy and eliminating the
remnants of Fascism.
|. The struggle between the two op-
posing camps-the imperialist and
anti-imperialist-is taking place in
circumstances of further aggrava-
ton of the general crisis of capital
ism, the weakening of the capitalist
forces and the strengthening of the
forces of socialism and democracy
Aggressive Activity Seen.
Therefore, the imperialistic camp
and its leading force, the United
States Of America, is displaying a
particularly aggressive activity. This
activity is being unfolded simul-
taneously in all directions-in the
direction of military strategic meas
ures on the level of economic ex-
pansion and ideologic struggle, the
Truman-Marshall plan constitutes
European section of the general
plan of the world expansionist pol
icy carried out by the United States
of America in all parts of the world
The plan for the economic and
political enslavement of Europe by
American imperialism is being COM
plemented by the plans for the
economic and political enslavement
of China, Indonesia and the South
American countries.
Yesterdays aggreSsors-the cap
italist magnates of Germany and
Japan-are being prepared by the
United States for a new role. that
of becoming weapon of the United
States imperialist policy in Europe
and Asia.
The stock OF tactical methods used
by the imperialistic camp is most
varied. Here we find a combination
of varied threats of force, blackmail,
extortion, various measures of po-
litical and economic pressure, bribery
and utilization of internal contra
dictions and strife, used for strength
ening its positions. All this is being
covered up by liberal -pacifist mask
calculated to deceive and catch
people inexperienced in politics.
Blum, Attlee and Bevin Attacked,
A special place in the stock of tao
tical methods of the imperialists is
assigned to the utilization of the
treacherous policy of rightwing So
cialists of the type of Blum in
France, Attlee and Bevin In England,
Schumacher in Germany, Renner
Scherf in Austria, Saragat in Italy,
etc, who are striving to conceal the
true predatory essence of the i'm
perialistic policy under the mask OF
democracy and Socialist phraseology
but who in fact remain in all respects
loyal supporters of the imperialists
bringing disintegration into the
ranks Of the working class and
poisoning their outlook.
1t Is not accidental that the for
eign policy of British imperialism
found in the person of Bevin its
most consistent and jealous exc
cutor.
Under these conditions it is es-
sential for the anti-imperialist
democratic camp to unite, work out
Ia co-ordinated program of action
and evolve its own tactics against
the main forces of the imperialist
camp, against American imperial
ism and its British and French
allies and against right-wing Social
lists, in the first place in Britain
and France.
