dreds of newspapers and journals
in the United States are daily and
openly calling for an attack on the
Soviet Union. At the same time, nc
one can name single U. S. S. R
newspaper which called for an at
tack on the United States or any
other country whatsoever. In the
U. S. S. r. a special law has beer
passed Furnishing as penal offend
ers any who might try to conduct
war propaganda.
The Soviet Union bases its
policy on the possibility of the
peaceful co-existence of the two
systems, socialism and capitalism
and steadfastly pursues the course
of maintaining loyal and peaceful
relations with all states which
show desire for economic co.
operation, provided that the prin.
ciples of reciprocity and observ.
ance of accepted obligations arr
respected.
Quotes Stalin's Statement.
With regards to relations be.

United States. as long ago a.
1882. in reply to the question
asked by the American journalisr
Ralph v. Barnes, could not tn,
Soviet and American peoples bt
convinced that an armed con.
f1lct between their countrie,
should never under any circum
stances take place? Stain replied
as follows:
Nothing is easier than to con
vince the peoples of both coun
tries of the harmfulness an,
crlminaiity of mutual annihila
tion. Unfortunately, however
questions of peace and war ar,
not always settled by the peoples
4 have, no doubt that the masse
or the people of the United State
did not want a war with tn,
peoples of the. U.S.S.R. in 1918
1919. That did not prevent tn,
United States government, how.
ever, from attacking the U.S.SR
in 1918 together with japan
England and France) and con,
tinuing armed aggression agains
the U.S.S.R. until 1919. AS far a.
the U.S.S.R. is concerned it seem
hardly necessary to supply furthe.
proof of the fact that both tn,
peoples of the U.S.S.R., and th,
government of the U.S.SR.. ar,
anxious that an armed conf1ic
between their two 'countrie
should never under any circum
stances arise"

and the expansion of Commercial
end economic ties between al
countries.
Ii this program is not bein,
carried out, it is only because i
does not suit the forces of aggres

which are afraid. that the carry
ing out of such a program woul,
undermine their aggressive mea
sures. would make an armament
race impossible and would thu
deprive them of an opportunity t
obtain further billions in exces
profits from war orders.
