who execute the will Of the aggres-
sive and greedy profiteers, the top
capitalist multimillionaires, and who
do not take the interests Of their
peoples into account.
1t is we'll known that the INDUSTRY
Of the United States of America in
the period between the two World
Wars has grown, although its de-
fvelopment proceeded extremely un-
evenly and twice fell considerably
below the level of 1918. For all that,
during the Second World War Amer
ican industry grew rapidly, became
inflated and began to yield enor-
nous profits to the capitalists and
state revenues, which American
state monopoly capitalism is putting
into circulation and applying to
exert pressure everywhere in Europe
and China, in Greece and Turkey,
in South America and in the Middle
East.
Certainly there are not few who
would like to make use of a war
situation.
Successes Are Plentiful.
Successes in the utilization of the
war situation are, of course, plenti-
full. But what has this to do with
the interests Of the people? The
interests of the people are, of course,
radically different from the inter-
ests of the instigators OF a new
world war. All these facts testify
to the striving of American i'm
perialism to take advantage of the
postwar difficulties Of certain states,
to impose its will on them under
the banner of unsolicited American
guidance and to pave the way for
the world domination of the United
States of America.
This by no means justifies cal
culations on the possibility of avoid
ing growing internal difficulties, Of
averting the advance of a pro-
found economic crisis and the ever
intensifying split Of the U. S. A.
into two main groupings: The i'm
perialist grouping, which-at the
moments making a lot of noise
in the foreground, and the demo-
cratic grouping, which holds the
future.
The appetites Of the imperialists
know no bounds. For the sake of
achieving their narrow aims, they
are ready to trample under foot
democratic rights in their own coun-
try and also the rights and SOW
ereignty of other states.
The lessons of the downfall Of
Fascist Germany, which trampled
on the democratic forces and ex-
ceeded all bounds in its striving for
world domination, as one can see,
taught nothing to those who now
with such blindness, are tearing
after the domination Of the whole
world.
Today, the ruling circles OF the
United States and Great Britain
head one international grouping,
which has as its aim the consolida-
ton of capitalism and the achieve
ment of the domination of these
countries over other peoples. These
countries, are headed by imperialist
and antidemocratic forces in inter-
national affairs, with the active
participation of certain socialist
leaders in several European states.
Policy Of Soviet Union.
The policy of the Soviet Union is
based on opposite principles, on the
principle of respect for the sover-
eighty of all states, big and small,
on the principle of nonintervention
in the internal affairs Of other states.
Take, for example, the German
question. II in the postwar period,
America and Britain had adhered to
all the principles-let us say, for
example, the democratic principles
of the Yalta and Potsdam con-
ferences on the German question,
which made possible and fruitful
the collaboration of the great allies
against Hitlerite Germany, with the
aim OF liquidating the remnants OF
Fascism, then collaboration between
the Soviet Union, the United States
and Britain would also today pro-
duce good results.
But the United States and Britain
have departed from these demo-
cratic principles and have violated
the decisions jointly taken. This can
be said with regard to such radical
questions as the characterization and
demilitarization of Germany, and
the payment of reparations to coun-
tries which suffered from German
occupation.
AS q result of postwar Anglo
American policy, the British and
American zones of occupation of
Germany were united into a jointly
administered, bi-zonal territory
which has been given the name Of
'bizonia" in the press-so that an
Anglo-American policy could be uni
laterally carried out there in de-
pendently Of the control council. in
which representatives Of all four
occupying powers participate.
Alarm Among Germans.
Our representatives in Germany
are today virtually concerned only
with the Soviet zone A situation
has arisen which cannot but pro-
duce alarm among the German peo-
pie also, since, as the result of the
Anglo-American policy, these ex-
lists the joint zone and other zones,
but there is no Germany, no single
German state.
The Soviet Union considers 1t
necessary that the decisions of the
Yalta and Potsdam conferences on
the German question, decisions
which provided for the restoration
of Germany as a single, democratic
state, should be put into effect.
Moreover, in the Soviet Union it
is entirely understood that the joint
zone Is not Germany and that the
German people has a right to the
existence of it's own state, which,
it goes without saying, must be a
democratic state and must not Gre
ate the threat of new aggression for
other peace-loving states.
At the present time there exists
Anglo-American plainly giving
some aims to calm the population
Of the Anglo American zone of Ger
