SOVIET OUTBURST
REACTION IN BRITAIN COMINTERN MANIFESTO OPPOSITION TO FASCISM (Omclal Wireless) (Received Nov. 8, 11 a.m.) RUGBY, Nov. 7 The view expressed in authoritative quarters in London is that M. Molotoff’s speech and the Comintern manifesto do not represent any new departure, and there is a disinclination to attach much importance to them.
The emphasis on neutrality is, however, noted. The speech held out little hope of more active intervention on the German side.
The fact that Germany is attacked in the manifesto and not in the speech is an interesting manifestation of the new official pro-German attitude of the Soviet, which has
never been precisely reproduced in the emanations of the Comintern designed for consumption in countries abroad other than Germany. The Comintern has throughout continued its attack on Fascism in general. The Comintern and the Soviet Government are, however, equally under M. Stalin’s control, and the distinction apparent between the official Soviet and Comintern attitudes suggests that the professed solidarity with Germany does not go very deep.
