Day Asaienl of the Communist International of the Whole To the Proletariat of all Lands and Oppressed People World. The maturing economic crisis is laying bare the contradictions which are tearing the capitalist world asunder, the boastful claims of the bourgeoisie and its social-democratic lackeys concerning the inex- haustible forces and organizational and creative power of capitalism are collapsing. Twenty million unemployed victims of the crisis and of capitalist ra- tionalization are tramping the streets of cities, while large sses of peasants, ruined by the agricultural crisis are being sold up by the finance capitalists and forced to join the army of unemployed In imperialist countries the rivalry in armaments is becoming more frenzied. The so-called peace treaties are nothing but a skein of lies, to hide the preparation and regrouping of forces for new erialist wars. There is no part of the world where the struggle for world domina- tion between the United States of America and Great Britain has not reached an unparralleled degree of intensity as a consequence of the economic crisis. The London Naval Agreement is a new instrument of war and everyone of the parties to it are hastening to utilize it for its own war aims. The Young Plan serves to hasten a new military clash between the imperialist groups. The danger of war arising from French and Italian rivalry in the Mediteranean is imminent, so that even the imperialists and Jeaders of the Second International can no longer conceal it. The charlatans of the Second International are striving to lull the vigilance of the workers by peace talk. The fascist demagogues hold out the bait to the more backward sections of the people, of the pros- pect of a “profitable” war. The bourgeoisie believe that a new imperi- alist war is the only way out of the present crisis of world capitalism. But the activity of the international proletariat, and the growing might of the Soviet Union, hinders the imper: arr; their plans for dividing up the world. The world bourgeoisie hoped to destroy the Soviet State by a political and economic blockade. Thanks to their firm endurance and consistent peace policy the toilers of the Soviet Union have managed to d,off the attacks of the imperialists and continue the work of socialist construction. The Five Year Plan of economic development proves that the in- I}: ternational proletariat is not only sufficiently mature to overthrow capitalism but also to build up a socialist society. It is precisely for this reason that the imperialist war are brandishing weapons against the Soviet Union. Workers! Toilers! Stand in defense of the bor, in defense of the Soviet Union, your sociali Proletarians of all countries!
