Foreign Minister Molotop's ad-
dress in MoscoW last night, as
broadcast by the MoscoD radio
in Russian and translated here
by the Soviet monitor:
All real friends OF peace-and
they constitute the majority of peo-
pile of any country-can rely on the
fact that the Soviet Union will de-
fend to the end the interests o1
universal peace.
In accordance with that peaceful
policy, the Soviet Union stands fol
the all-embracing development OF
international cooperation.
Comrade Stain profoundly eluci-
dated our foreign policy in his talk
with the well-known American
Harold Stassen, They (the Soviet
Union and the United States) can
of course, cooperate with each
other, said Stain. The difference
between them was not important
as far as collaboration was con-
cerned. The economic systems ir
Germany and the United States
were alike, nevertheless war broke
out between them.
The economic systems Of the
United States of American and the
Soviet Union were different, sale
Stain, but they did not fight each
other but collaborated during the
war. If two different systems coulo
collaborate during the war why
could they not collaborate in peace.

there was no desire to collaborate

Peace Declared Policy.
The Soviet Union has invariably
carried out, and is carrying out, The
policy of peace and internationa
collaboration. Such are the rela-
tions Of the Soviet Union with al
the countries which evince a desir,
to collaborate.
The policy outlined by Comrade
Stain is opposed at present by an.
other policy, based on quite differ.
ent principles. Here we can talk
first and foremost of the foreign
policy of the United States, as well
as that of Great Britain.
Possibly there exists in the United
States a program of economic de-
velopment of the country for some
period ahead. However, the press
has not yet announced anything
about this, although press confer
ences take place there quite fire.
quently. On the other hand, much
noise is being spread about various
American projects connected now
with the Truman doctrine, now with
the Marshall plan.
Reading of all these American
plans for aid to Europe, aid to China
and so on, one might think that
the domestic problems of the United
States have long ago been solved,
and that now 1t is only a question
Of America putting the affairs of
other states in order, debating its
policy to them and even the COM
position of their governments.
In reality, matters are not like
that. If the ruling circles of the
U. S. A. had no cause for anxiety
concerning domestic affairs, espe-
cially in connection with an ap-
preaching economic crisis, there
would not be, such superfiuity OF
economic projects of U. S. A. ex-
pansion, which in their turn are
based on the aggressive military
political plans of American impe-
rialism.
Now they no longer hide the fact
that the United States Of America,
not infrequently together with
Great Britain, Is acquiring ever
new naval and air bases in all parts
of the globe, and even adapts whole
states for such like aims, especially
If closely situated to the Soviet
Union.
Cites Greenland and Denmark.
Who does not complain about the
pressure of American imperialism in
that respect? Even If the govern
ments of certain big states of Eu-
rope, Asia and America preserve a
kind of solid silence in regard to
this matter, it is clear that certain
small states are faced by an ab-
solutely intolerable position. Den
mark, for instance, cannot achieve
the restoration of her national SOW
iereignty over Greenland. which the
Americans do not want to leave
after the end of the war. Egypt
legitimately demands the withdraw
al of British troops from her terri
tory. Britain refuses to do that, ano
America supports the British i'm
perialists in these matters also.
1t is, however, clear that the crea-
ton of military bases in various
parts Of the world is not designed
for defense purposes. but as a prep
aration for aggression. 1t is also
clear that if, up to now, the COM
bined British-American genera
staff, created during the Seconc
World War, has been maintained
this is not being done for peace
loving purposes, but for the purpose
of intimidating with the possibility
of new aggression. 1t would be g
good thing for all this to be known
to the American people, for under
the so-called Western front freedom
of the press, when almost all news
papers and radio stations are in the
hands of small cliques, the aggres-
sive cliques of the capitalists ano
their servitors, it is difficult for the
people to know the real truth.
1t is interesting that in expan-
sionist circles of the United States
of America a new, peculiar sort o1
illusion is widespread-while having
no faith in their internal strength
faith is placed in the secret of the
atom bomb, although this secret has
long ceased to exist.
British Scientists Protest.
Evidently the imperialists neec
this faith in the atom bomb which
as is known, is not a means o1
defense but weapon of aggression
Many are indignant that the United
States of America and Great Brit.
