U.S. FOREIGN POLICY

Bitter Attack At Soviet Congress (Rec. 10 p.m.) MOSCOW, October 6. Mr Georgi Malenkov, delivering the key policy report on behalf of the Central Committee to the Communist Party conference, charged American capitalism with having disorganised the economies of other capitalist countries by forcing them to accept Ameri- «*» ‘ oo<i *’ wh«‘ «t the same time barriers against imports from “The contradictions between the H n ?. ted States a “ d Britain and the United States and France are becoming more acute and will continue to aggravate, in the degree to which American capitalism, under the guise of economic assistance, infiltrates into the economies of Britain and France and seizes raw materials and markets in British and French colonies. "By a whole series of aggressive actions the United States has aggravated the international situation, increasing the danger of a new war.” Mr Malenkov said. The rulers of the United States had openly stated their aims. The Americans had decided to violate peace and prepare for a new war. “As the U.S.SJt. happens to be the main opponent in the new war, and the principal bulwark of peace, the United States wirepullers have come to the conclusion that war must be made on the U.S.S.R. and the other people’s democracies,” he said. Mr Malenkov added that the nations in the North Atlantic Pact, to conceal their aggressive aims and deceive the nations, had christened it a “defensive” bloc against Communism and against the Soviet Union which was alleged to be preparing to attack them. U.B. Military Bases “American military bases are being set up in various countries around the Soviet borders for this criminal purpose. For the sake of the same criminal aim, Western Germany and Japan are being remilitarised.” Mr Malenkov said the United States attack on the Korean People’s Republic expressed a switch-over in British and American policy from preparations for an aggressive war to aggression itself. Mr Malenkov described as the main feature of the present international situation the fact that “the principal aggressive power, the United States, is pushing the other capitalist states, especially those belonging to the North Atlantic bloc, and the losers in the last war like Western Germany, Italy, and Japan, on the path of a new war.” Mr Malenkov cnarged the United States with trying to “exploit and enslave” Britain and France by their imperialistic policy. Greece and Jugoslavia had long ago become American agents. At the order of their American bosses the Jugoslavs had carried out espionage and subversive activities against the U.S.S.R. and the people’s democracies, Mr Malenkov said. A wave of hatred against the United States was rising among the people “oppressed” by the United States. Mr Malenkov said that for the first time in history there pow existed a powerful and united camp of peace-loving states. He added that in capitalist countries where Communist parties were conducting an heroic struggle for peace the working class was now better organised. “Peaceful Coexistence” Mr Malenkov said that Soviet policy, based on the assumption of the peaceful coexistence of capitalism and Communism, and of mutual consideration, was perfectly feasible if mutual desires exist, and if the parties are prepared to fulfil their obligations on a basis Of equality and non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries. Mr Malenkov denied that Russia was threatening the British Empire, but “no enemy ever dealt her such heavy blows as the American friend who removes her Empire bit by bit,” he said. “British ruling circles cannot fail to lee the obvious facts. The Empire is being taken over, not by the Communists, but by American billionaires. Was it the Communists or American capitalists who seized Canada, who are in the process of capturing Australia and New Zealand, who are ejecting Britain from the Suez Canal zone, markets in South America, and resources in the Near and Middle East?
