i THE DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, ' i EPT. 7, 1927 : Communist on the International Situation ) “(Resolution passed by the Joint! groups within the separate capitalist Plenum of the C. C. after hearing Comrade report of the 9th August, 19% and the C. C. C., Bukharin’s a] (Continuation) 6. The preparation for war on the Soviet Union signifies nothing more nor less than the reproduction of the class struggle between the imperial- ist bourgeoisie and the victorious proletariat, merely on a broader basis. Precisely the same will be the class import of this war. Those who, like the opposition in our Party, doubt that this war bears this character, or who fail to see that the root of the attack on the Soviet Union lies in the growth of constructive socialism in the Soviet Union and in its rev- olutionary influence, and fancy it to lie in the “national reformism” of the proletarian party, display a social democratic deviation one doubly harmful in the pr t international situation, and givi objective aid to the enemies of the proletariat. 7. The 2m of diplomatic military all Ss against the So Union, aiming at the so-called enci clement of the Soviet Union (agr ments between Poland and Roumani: between Italy and Roumania, et Great Britan’s activities in the Baltic States, in Poland the Far East, in Persia; the ‘ 2” on Germany, especially since Locarno, up to the last attempts at the formation of an anti-Sov on the Arcos, the rupture of diplo- matic relations with the Soviet Union; the increased pressure on France, in order to induce it to break with the Soviet Union; the like pressure on Italy, Greece, etc.; the ever-increasing pressure now being put on Germany), is the most characteristic fact of the present moment. The British Conservative govern- ment, in preparing for war on the Soviet Union and on the working class of its own country, is doing this | by carrying on a diplomatic struggle everywhere against the Soviet Union, organizing 4 dit and economic blockade of the Soviet Union, arrang- ing conspiracies and terrorist actions on the territory of the Soviet Union, ‘supporting the counter revolutionary groups im the Caucasus, especially in Georgia, the Ukraine, etc., and the like. At the same time a number of bourgeois states are preparing the ground by other measures. (Musso- lini’s laws against the workers and the terror against the Communists in Italy; the anti-trade union law and the plan of “reform” of the Upper House an Great Britain; the military .laws of the “socialist” Paul Boncour and the arrests of Communists in France, etc., and the like.) * . The ideological preparation for the war on the Soviet Union is being par- ticipated in not only by the bourgeoisie but by the so-called international so- cial democrats in combination with the “ultra Left” renegades from Com- | munism: general diseréditing of the Soviet Union as a state; slanders as to degeneration, Kulak policy (Levi) and Bonapartism; outcries over “Red imperialism,” on the alleged role of inciter played by the Soviet Union, which is “to blame” for the violation International states themselves. In Central Europe, Germany is anxious to postpone {events, for the dynamics of develop- \ment* are undoubtedly leading to the absolute and relative growth of the ‘economic and political importance of (Germany. At the same time, it is jmore to German ’s advantage than to that of other countries to develop {economic relati with the Soviet j however, | |Union. All this does not, {mean that capitalist Germany, in the event of decisive issue would be certain to remain neutral. Having bargained the most favorable possible position for itself, it may ea: join the united front of the ene t the critical moment. The United States, too, is not anx- ious for a tastrophe in Europe, since this would risks for America’s gigantic investments of capital. But should it come to a jconflict, then the United States will, of cou support British imperial- ism, in spite of the antagonism exist- ing between the United States and Great Britain, again evidenced by the latest disagreement with Great Brit- {ain on the question of navab,arma- ments, etc. The antagonisms between the various imperialist states there- |fore serve only to postpone the con- \flict, but they do not alter its increas- | jing probability and inevitability. | 10. An undoubted undermining of the whole system of imperialism, eg-| bloc at Geneva; the raidj Pecially of the British, an undgr- | _ The Young Communist International in the East mining demonstrating the profo' id disorganization of the whole w rid | | capitalism, is expressed in the €hi- }nese revolution. The danger of /the proletarian revolution in Europe, the necessity of carrying on a war against the Chinese revolution, the great dan- | |gers threatening from the colonies! | (risings in Indonesia, spread of the| \national revolutionary movement in| | India, etc.)—these are the increasing | | difficulties of imperialism. | | * * 11. The above determines the polic: jof the Soviet Union. This is before} jall a peace policy. In view of the im-| | possibility of “foreseeing” the mo-| ment of the military attack upon the ; Soviet Union, and in view of the ne- cessity of arming for this attack, the | Soviet Union must pursue # definite | jand logical policy, strengthening the} | position of the proletarian state from | year to year and from. month to month. For the furtherance of the struggle for peace, the Soviet Union must enter into suitable economic re- lations with the capitalist states. At the same time the government of the Soviet Union will safeguard with all means the principles of its prole- tarian economic and state constitu- tion, which are at the same time the principles of its existence as a prole- tarian state. The Joint Plenum of the C. and | the C. C. C. places on record that the | working class of the Soviet Union has responded enthusiastically to the call of the Party for a general prep- aration for the defence of the prole-| | tarian (state, and has proved, during} \the Defence Week, its determined unity, its capability to lead the peas antry along with it, and its readiness to protect with the lives of its mem- | bers the centre of proletarian revolu- tion against the attacks of the im- “IMPARTIAL” .TRUSTEE OF CLOAKMAKERS’ INSURANCE FUND :—‘Inasmuch as I am impartial, I will give this money to my friend Sigman, so he can continue his impartial pogrom against the workers in the union.” Drawing By WM.

The Comintern as a whole as well as its separate Sections must ex- | Pose their errors and remedy their | defects in an impartial manner in or- der to be able to cope with the task |of combating war. ; 1. The fundamental defect from {which all Sections of the Comintern suffer is that they under-estimate the danger of war. The line of conduct of all the Communist Parties is such as to make one believe that war is a jmatter of the more or less remote, future and not the bloody rcatity’ of |today. In some countries the Com- imunist Parties let themselves be in- fluenced by the mood of the broad ;non-Party masses who do not feel so | strongly the war in far off China, and in other countries removed from | the great centres of world politics, | they allow themselves to be influenced \by the position of “neutrality” deter- jmined by the role played by those jcountries in world politics (the | Scandinavian countries). In other ‘countries again they come to a cer- | tain extent under the influence of the bourgeois press, which maintains | that there is no war in China, that |there has been a mere preliminary |despatch of troops for the protection ‘of national interests. | 2. A number of Sections of the Comintern are unable to link up their |domestic problems with international jproblems. Sometimes it takes the jform of a parochial provincialism ; (Czecho-Slovakia), the idea that little |countries are not “concerned with |gxreat questions of international | policy. 3.
