First, in the domain of the interna- tional revolutionary movement: a struggle for the development of Com- munist parties of the whole world, a struggle for the strengthening of the revolutionary trade unions and united front of the workers against the on- slaught of capital, a struggle for the consolidation of friendship between the working class of the U.S.S.R. and the working class in other countries, a struggle for the strengthening of the union between the wofking class of the USSR and the liberative move ment in colonial countries. Secondly, in the domain of the foreign policy of the USSR: the party policy is for a struggle against the preparation of new imperialist wars, aginst the in- terventionist tendencies of Britain and for strengthening of the defen- sive capacity of the USSR, a policy of peace and maintaining peaceful re- lations with capitalist countries, for enlarging our trade with foreign countries on the basis of a consolida- c pressed ¢ |tion of the monopoly of foreign trade, rappyocheme with so-called ‘weak’ and ‘unequal’ countries under the op- sion of exploiting dominating im- perialist powers.” * * Increase Production.
