COMMUNIST MANIFESTO

CRITICISM OF DEMOCRACIES APPEAL TO WORLD WORKERS AMERICA’S HUGE PROFITS (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel- copyrlsmi (Received Nov. 7, 1 p.m.) MOSCOW, Nov. 6 A Communist official manifesto in commemoration of the anniversary of the revolution hails the RussoGerman pact as preventing warmongers involving in the war Rus- ! sia and the Danubian and Balkan ; States. I It omits all reference to Fascism, I though it is stated that Germany, | besides England and France, is j fighting for world hegemony. I The customary expression of sympathy for China and the condemnation of the “Japanese plunderers” are absent. World workers are urged to fight against an Imperialist war and adhere to thp cause of poletarian internationalism. It adds: American bourgeoisie is enriching itself under a pharasaical mask of neutrality, enabling the munition kings to reap huge profits. The Italian bourgeoisie awaits a propitious moment to hurl itself against the loser and claim a share of the victor’s spoils. The manifesto demands the organisation of a new United Front against war, restricted exclusively to workers and not supported by socialists and bourgeoisie. World-wide War Feared M. Molotoff, after asserting that there was a danger of the European and Asiatic wars expanding into world-wide conflicts, contrasted this “Imperialistic policy” with the Soviet Union’s “consequent policy of peace.” He added that the power and authority of the Soviet Union was becoming more and more evident. The annexation of East Poland was one of the greatest successes of the Soviet Union’s foreign policy. The Soviet Union would remain faithful to a policy of peace and proletarian internationalism. Capitalists and their socialist assistants could not be expected to renounce war voluntarily. The Soviet desired to bring the war to an early end. “The growth of our inner strength and international authority is a sacred duty,” he said. “The Soviet Union remains unshakeable and has increased territory, and will become still more terrifying to its enemies.”
