Crude Boosting" Charged.
The facts disprove this crude
boasting. Facts tea ~ceoect for
international law: THIS is shown
by what happened on April 8 south
OF Libava to the American four
engined B-29 military plane. 1t
should be perfectly clear that no
talk about the recognition or nom
recognition by the American Gov
ernment Of the Soviet Baltic re-
publics or the Soviet Zfrontier in
the Baltic can cover up the I'M
lawful action of the American
military plane which insolently
penetrated the territory of the
U. S. S. r.
This attempt of the present
American rulers to cover up their
unlawful action in regard to the
Soviet Union with references to
the non-recognition of the Soviet
frontier in the Baltic is by no
means original or new. Such at
tempts were undertaken with
equal lack of success by the Hitler
ties; in particular by one of the
prominent members of the staff of
the National Sozialistische Monat-
shefte, the official organ of the
Hitlerites. who to justify Fascist
policy in regard to the Soviet
Union could not be regarded as
an object of international law
at all.
Thus the American adventurists
take the same line. mastering the
Fascist theology of the Hitlerite
diplomats not at all badly. But
there is no need to go profoundly
into this question. Suffice it to
ask the American Government:
What would it say if Soviet
military plane appeared over
United States territory. and if
that plane, on top of that, opened
fire on an American plane?
In this connection it will be in
place to remind the American rul-
ing circles how as far back as last
century a well-known American
Senator and chairman of the
Senate Foreign Affairs Committee,
Charles Sumner. explained to
American Senators certain ele-
mentary standards of interna-
tional behavior. In his speech at
the meeting of the American
Senate in March, 1871, he said
that it is unseemly to do against
another state that which the
Americans would never tolerate
being done against themselves.
Denmark Held Violated.
But there is yet another side
to all this which is important
That is the crude violation by
the American Government of the
sovereignty Of Denmark, too. AS
the press reports, American planes
arrive in Denmark not only with
out any permission from, but even
without any warning to the Dan
ish authorities. The American
command has occupied the DAN
ish aerodrome Of Kastrup. The
Copenhagen newspapers report
that on the Danish aerodrome of
Kastrup already several dozen
American planes are based and
chat American planes still con-
tinue to arrive on that aerodrome.
According, to q report of the
Swedish telegraph agency news is
spreading through Denmark that
the Americans are trying out the
possibility of occupying the coun-
try under outwardly peaceful pre-
texts. The French newspaper "Ce
Soir" In commenting on the ap-
pearance Of American military
planes in Denmark reports that
the Americans are now studying
the circumstances under which 1t
will be possible to occupy a coun-
