MARXIST LENINISM QUOTED TO ASSEMBLY

PARIS, September 29. The Yugoslav Foreign Minister M. Kardqlj, at the United Nations Assembly, declared that one result of the Marshall Plan was that Germany “has begun to transform herself into an industrial and military base of the United States.” He said the Western Power's were on the way to liquidating the United Nations. He accused the United States of organising a vast system of military bases and of re-establishing Japan as an anti-Jiussian base. He said war-inciting propaganda of to-day and so-called “get tough’ policy against the Soviet Union and the people’s democracies had proved that Marxist-Leninism had not become obsolete and that Lenin’s warning had not lost its validity. However, this did not mean that it was obligatory .on the Socialist countries to wage war against the capitalistic countries, or that no hr ernaticnal co-operation was possible between Capitalism and Socialism.

After the Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs, M. Manuilsky, had sharply attacked Mr Bevin whom, he declared, had “rattled the atomic weapon on this very rostrom,” Dr. Evatt (president) adjourned the Assembly without setting a’date for the next nlenarv session.
