Conflict As owl Is Greater LOWER LON DON, 10.—Unable to give even the appearance of July continuing the London Econo- mic Conference by discussing minor points while the main battle for markets and financial domination continued, it was decided today the gathering to an end on July 26th. In reality it is ended now, th French and other gold country delegations holding meetings in Paris to map out strategy for the sharper economic now developing. The main discussions in London fm the last few days were between the United States and England, each trying to gain advantage over the other in the bitter trade war height- ened by the disclosures of the various robber powers at the conference self. The outstanding fact is that the dollar is dropping rapidly, shoving the pound back to its high point before England went off the gold stand At that time, the British were able to gain an advantage on the interna- tional market. Now the American ex- Ploiters are gaining a greater advan- tage, with the British maneuverin7 their forces for quick retaliation. The struggie is thus developing on all fronts—for advantage on the worl financial stage, for domination in the world to bring warfare world markets through tari! and lower prices through inflation and Wage cuts at home), and through greater naval and war armaments, In England the bankers are pre- paring to shove the pound lower in relation to the dollar, because of the effects on British markets le to inflation in the United St is now cheaper for many Brit im- porters to buy American goods, prod- uced at lower real wages than before, Caused by inflation. The drop in the dollar, also, is un- _fiermining the British Ottawa agree- ment whereby England got advantages in the dominions over the United States. As one writer put it here: “ h the pound now standing at a premium in Canada, there is far less incentive for the Canadians to import from the United Kingdom.” The London Economic Conference. which was opened with such fanflare promising a peaceful solution of all the ills of world capitalism through international agreements, closes with the conflicts and antagonis: the imperialist powers sharper ever before. It closes with a shock to the financial relations of all the pow- exs, precipitating the sharpest finan- Cial battles. It opens the way for the greatest contest for world markets. k overshadowing a similar struggle that ’ Jed to t t World War. It is be- Wing fo'' by greater armament of all the i:n--rialist powers for a new ‘vorld slaugiiter. “GORKY, WRITER ‘AND REVOLUTIONIST.” IS NEW BOOK BY OLGIN HE completion of Ma fortieth vear of li in the service of the revo!

The charge, which was immediately branded b ythe Communist Party of Germany as a provocation, has »--— since been thoroughly exploded in so; many of even the leading capitalist | papers of other countries, and again in detail last week by the independ- ent investigating committee headed by Albert Einstein, that Nazis have had to heighten their gigantic campaign of fabrications, by which they are attempting to arouse mass feeling throughout Germany against the Communist leaders, The trial is now announced to take place in August before the Su- preme Court in Leipzig. One day’s batch of Nazi news re- feases in this campaign of Provoca- tion contains the following “discov- eres” A widespread secret organization of the Red Front Fighters League is alleged to have been discovered in Herdecke, Schwerte, and Hagen. Quantities of firearms, explosives, and bombs are said to have been dis- hirt covered. five have been ar- rested.

HE, recent massing of Japanese troops and ships on the Sungast Nive border of the Soviet Union is one of a growing sertes of similar prove- cations. Why, when the imperialist conflicts at London sharpen, do we see at the same time bolder thrusts against the Soviet Union? ‘Why.does Japan invade Soviet territory on the pretext of searching for spies, seége Soviet ships, show such arrogance when the U.S.8.R. offers to sell the Chinese Eastern Railway in Manchuria to preserve peace? Is it at all accidental that the first echo from fhe London Conger- ence was the memorandum of Hugenberg tor war against the Sovies Union? eae ne. matter what the differences between the impertalist robber power, Japan at the present moment, with its insistent, repeated and bold, provocations against the Soviet Union is seeking to start war against the, workers’ fatherland in the interest, first, of itself, of its plundering: war. in China and Manchukuo, and secondly, to begin what it knows all the’ capitalists look to and will support it in—a major attempt at the seln- tion .of aii their difficulties through the destruction of the Union st Socialist Soviet Republics, The main world antagonism, that between the land Of soctalism, and the crisis-beset world of capitalism, is not in the least obscured by the growing strength of the Soviet Union in relation to the imperialist’ na- tions, The danger grows greater precisely because of the deeper inner conflicts between the robbers themselves. Nothing better illustrates ‘this than the growing antagonisms between Japan and the Unitéd States. As this reaches a sharper turn, Japan goes the road of war provocations against the U.S.S.R. as an easier way immediately, as a program that will win the approval of all the exploiting nations, including its chief imper- ialist antagonist, Wall Street * * * * * * IT is true that the Soviet Union was able to defeat the war provoca- tions of Great Britain. It is true that the United States is opening trade relations and leans towards diplomatic recognition of the-U.S.8.R. It is true the Western border states signed non-aggression pacts -with the Soviet Union. It is true that the advance of socialist construttton hourly, daily strengthens socialist economy and the fighting ee of the workers’ fatherland - * * * UT, underlying all this, and growing in intensity each, day, 18 the hopes, the desires, tite plans, the maneuvers of the capitalists t6 take the major step of war against the Soviet Union as a more acceptahie wa out to all of them from the crisis which eats at their vitals. _> Not for a. moment do the exploiters forget that the Soviet Union-is their antipode. Not for a moment do they stop dreaming and working for its destviction with all their might, no matter what immediate ar- Tangements they may enter into for every-day practical reasons, ~:*~ As the Moscow “Pravda” pointed out when the British lifted the embargo against Soviet goods, the die-hard conservatives, the Deterdings, not only did not end their war maneuverings but because of this defeat, continue to press them a thousand times more energetically and in a thousand different way: : The ink has hardly tried on the fascist memorandum of Hugenbers calling for an open acknowledgement of the war policies of all the im- perialists against the Soviet Union, for the colonization of the Sovtet Union through a war of all the powers as the best means of solving their contradictions. Hugenberg may be out of the government, but Hugen- berg’s memorandum is the avowed fascist policy. Rosenberg, the fascist special envoy to England, may have received a nasty reception fromthe British masses, but his program is still the program of the leading~ kf talist forces in England. * * * | Aiea of all should there be illusions about the program of Wall Street. The bitterest enemy of the Soviet Union since its inception, Wall Street, may trade with the Soviet Union, but will quickly enter the war front when it reaches maturity and actuality for its destruction. Wan Street favors Japanese provocations against the Soviet Union pecatise a@ war between Japan and the U.S.S.R. would serve a double purposefor. the American exploiters. It would weaken its imperialist rival, Japan; it would involve the. Soviet. Union in a war around which all the imperiats ists could rally for their deepest aim. Comrade Stalin's words to the 1930 Party Congress in the eet Union stand out more boldly today: B “haragas time that capitalist contradictions begin to graw ae the bourgeoisie turns its gaxe towards the U.S.S.R.: ‘Cannot we settle th’s or that contradiction of capitalism, or all the contradie- tions taken together, at the expense of the U.S.S.R., the land of the Soviets, the citadel of the revolution, revolutionizing by its very ex- istence the working class and the colonies, preventing us arranging for a new war, preventing us dividing the world anew, preventing ws being masters of our own extensive internal market, se necessary _* for capitalists, particularly today, in connection with the economic ~ crisis?” “Hh the tendency to adventurist assaults on the U.S.S.B. and to intervention, a tendency which is bound to be strengthened in connection with the developing economic crisis.” Against this attempt of the imperialists to solve their crisis through an attack againsi the Soviet Union, all workers should rally their. ie for the August Ist anti-war mobilizations.
