u. S. Sees c Confirmation
OF Communist Moves

Moscow's announcement OF nine
nation Communist conference and
its virtual declaration of political
war against the United States was
described by American officials today
as the most striking evidence OF the
continued working of the interna-
tional Communist movement which
the Russians have furnished since
prewar years.
Michael J. McDermott, State De-
partment press officer, said this
Government had known of the meet
ing, but had no very definite infor-
nation prior to yesterdays an
nouncement.
Pending a careful study, he de-
clined any comment.
The Communist declaration is
taken here as evidence of Mos
cows determination to wage an all
out campaign against the United
States, it's foreign policy and its
leaders for control of Western Eu-
rope and probably other strategic
areas of the world.
This Is in line, in American Off
cial thinking, with the drive which
the Soviets are now making in the
United Nations meeting at New
York. There the effort is to dis
credit the Truman doctrine, the
Marshall European recovery plan,
other major lines of American pol
icy and some of the policy leaders
all as parts of a vast conspiracy
to "instigate" war against Russia.
The Communist meeting is signif1-
cant because it puts on the :eLord
and without camouf1age the extent
as well as the purpose of Com
n1unist action. American officials
said that there were international
representatives at Communist
meeting in France year ago but
that the meeting was essentially 3
national one whereas the Commu-
mist gathering was specified as an
international conference.

Russian representatives those at
tending the Communist conference
included:

Of the French Communist Party

Western Europe Silent
On Communist Move
Pending Close Study
By the Associoted Press

LONDON, Oct. 6.-WeStern
European governments and most
newspapers withheld comment
| today on the announcement that
Communists of nine nations had
! organized streamlined Com
: munist International to oppose
what it called American i'm
| perialism" and war threats.
Relatively few scare" headlines
{ appeared in the. Western press.
An authoritative British in
formant said the Foreign Office
would give the declaration CLOSE
attention and study"
Action Believed Doubtful.
One unofficial source said the
British would search for any
grounds for a formal complaint. -
He acknowledged it was doubtful
that government action would be
taken since the Communist group
was formed on political level,
ostensibly at least.
The comment raised the un-
answered question: To whom could
government complaint be made?
The Communist announcement
denounced what it termed "the
policy of treason of rightist social
ists," and named Prime Minister
Attlee and Foreign Secretary Bevin
for the category.
Ieftist PARTY Drives Seen.
Romanian Communists were re-
ported from Bucharest to have
urged immediate fusion of the
working class" to defeat what they
called imperialism threaten
ing with atom bombs This sug-
gested drives might be renewed to
create mass left wing parties along
the line OF the Social Unity
Party of the Russian zone of Ger
many.
A French Foreign Office spokes-
man, processing no surprise. said the
development was about normal, y
because of the split between the
west and east. His counterpart in
London said "the Russians have
been cooking it up for some time"
and that the new organization was
not likely to change the inter-
national situation very much"
1t was noted that the Communists
strove nightly to avoid any charge
of interference in the sovereignty
of countries involved, as they
charged the Truman doctrine and
Marshall proposal have done.

Communist Declaration on World Situation

| In order to disrupt the plan Of
imperialist aggression 1t is essen
tial to strengthen all democratic
anti-imperialist forces of Europe.
Right Wing Socialists Held Traitors.
Right-wing Socialists are traitors
to this cause. With the exception
of those countries of the new
democracy, where a bloc of Com
muniSts and Socialists with other
democratic progressive parties con-
stitutes the basis of resistance of
these countries against imperialistic
plans. The Socialists in a majority
of other countries, and in first
place the French Socialists and
British Laborites-Ramadier, Blum,
Attlee and Bevin-are facilitating
by their groveling and servility the
task of American capital, provoking
its exactions and pushing their own
countries onto the road of vassal
dependence on the United States.
This means that the Communist
parties are faced by special task.
They must take into their hands the
defense of national independence
and the sovereignty of their own
countries. If Communist parties
stand firmly on their positions, if
they do not let themselves be intimi-
dated and blackmailed, If they stand
courageously on guard for democ-
racy, national sovereignty, freedom
and independence of their countries,
if they are able in their struggle
against attempts at economic and
political enslavement of their coun-
tries to stand at the head of all
forces that are prepared to uphold
the cause of honor and national in
dependence. then no plans whatso-
ever for enslaving the countries of
Europe and Asia can be carried out.
This constitutes at present one of
the basic tasks of Communist
parties.
World Does Not Want War.
1t is essential to bear in mind that
there is vast gap between the desire
of imperialiStS to unleash new war
and the possibility of organizing
such war.
The peoples Of the world do not
want war. The forces attached to
peace are so considerable and large
that if these forces remain staunch
and firm in cause of defending peace,
if they display endurance and firm-
ness, the aggressors' plans will Suf-
fer complete flasco.
| 1t should not be forgotten that
the hue and cry of imperialist
agents around the war danger is
aimed at intimidating those with
weak nerves in order to obtain con-
cessions for the aggressor by means
of blackmail
The chief danger for the working
class consists in underestimation
of its own forces, and in overesti-
mating of forces of the imperialist
camp. Just as the Munich policy
in the past freed the hands of Hit
lerite aggression, concessions to the
new trend of policy of the United
States of America and the impe-
rialist camp can only make it's in
stigators still more impudent and
aggressive.
Therefore, Communist parties
must head resistance to plans of
imperialist expansion and aggres-
sion in all respects-state, political,
economic and theological. They
must rally and unite their efforts
or basis of a comon anti-im-
perialist democratic program and
gather around them all democratic
and patriotic forces of people.
