he said the "U. S. S. R will pu

Marshall plan is not realized"
Mr.. Zhdanov, an outstanding
member of the Politbureau (Politica
Bureau of the Central Committee
laid down blueprint for Europe in
which he called for cooperation OF
European nations regardless OF
systems of government, and urged
Communist parties to fight against
United States imperialism.
He said all that European Ma.
tions now affiliated with the
Marshall plan needed to do was to
show steadfastness in opposing
American slave loan conditions,
and Americans would be faced with
an economic crisis stemming from
lack of demand abroad for their
production.
mo Appeasement." He Says.
Sounding a note of mo appease-
ment," Mr.. zhdanov declared thai
'as the Munich policy in the past
united Hitler's hands for aggres-
sion, so concessions to the new
course of the United States ano
the imperialst camp can only make
its inspirers more impertinent and
aggressive"
The Communist party newspaper
Pravda and the newspaper Culture
and Life printed Mr.. Zhdanov's
speech to the conference, in which
he said. Soviet foreign policy is
oriented on the fact of the CO.
existence of two systems-the cap
italistic and the socialistic-for a
period of long duration"
He was the Soviet delegate to the
conference, which led to the estab-
lishment at Belgrade of a nine
nation Communist information bu-
reau.
This appraisal of the in
ternational situation appeared
at the same time in Communist
newspapers of other countries

ference. Mr.. Zhdanov often has
been mentioned as a possible
successor to Prime Minister
Stalin.)
U. S. Held Seeking Domination.
Mr.. Zhdanov told the Poland con-
ference the United States was try
ing to get out of wartime agree
ments in order to dominate other
nations. He added:
This expansionist program of
the United States is reminiscent of
the extraordinary and infamous de-
feated program of the Fascist ag-
gressoTs.
Like the Hitlerites, the con-
temporary ruling circles in the
United States disguise their expan-
sion program and even their Of
fensive on the vital interests of the
weaker imperialistic competitor,
Britain, with so-called anti
Communist program.
This was his blueprint for Europe:
l. Cooperation among Euro
pean nations regardless of their
systems of government.
2. Development of trade among
European countries on a reciprocal
basis through treaties similar to
those evolved for Eastern Europe.
3. Adoption of a united front
against attempts of the United
States to impose slave conditions. :"
4. The Communist parties should
push this program in order to fight
against United States imperial
ISM" but be willing to cooperate
with any others who support the
program.
Four Chapters in Appraisal.
Mr.. Zhdanov's detailed appraisal
was broken down into these chap

cause of uniting peace-loving ele-

plans for war and aggression"
Mr.. Zhdanov told the nine nations
that Soviet trade treaties with East
ern European states were models OF
how Europe could reconstruct her
self and retain independence from
the United States. He said Britain,
too, could have had a trade treaty
with Russia had it not been for the
Labor government which, under ex-
