He organised a siege of the embassies and other diplomatic offices of the U.S.S.R., Bulgaria, Hungary, the German Democratic Republic, Czechoslovakia and Mongolia in China, insulted the leaders of these countries and caused the manhandling and baiting of diplo- mats and members of their families. Like the Peiyan warlords and Chiang Kai-shek he in effect does not recognise the Mongolian People’s Republic as an independent state, openly threatens its sovereignty and lays claim to its terri- tory. He persists in his frenzied opposi- tion to joint action with the Soviet Union and other socialist countries in the rendering of assistance to the Viet- namese people in order to repulse United States aggression, and seeks to under- mine the Vietnamese people’s bonds cf friendship with the Soviet Union and. other socialist countries, thereby encour- aging U.S. imperialism to keep escalat- ing the war of aggression in Vietnam. He spreads slanderous rumors, insulting and undermining the prestige of the Korean People’s Democratic Republic, thereby encouraging provocations against the KPDR by aggressive United States troops and the South Korean puppets. Besides bringing trade and economic pressure to bear on Cuba after the manner of the U.S. imperialists, he engages in subversive activities against the Communist Party and revolutionary Government of Cuba. He openly pro- claims his intention of “demolishing” the U.S.S.R. and other socialist coun- tries, constantly fans anti-Soviet hysteria in China and fosters hostility for the Soviet Union. Mao Tse-tung savagely attacks the CPSU and the Soviet Union because the great Communist Party of the Soviet Union, founded and reared by Lenin, has the longest history, the most exten- sive experience, the most imposing achievements and the greatest prestige, because the great Land of Soviets, created by Lenin and embodying Marx- ism-Leninism, is the world’s first social- ist country with the longest history, the most impressive achievements and the greateSt might, because led by the CPSU the Soviet Union is indeed the » mightiest and most reliable mainstay of the world revolution and of world peace, that it is indeed the most edur- ing and consistent revolutionary bastion of the struggle against imperialist cliques and reactionaries of all the capitalist countries headed by the U.S.A, Mao Tse-tung has turned frenzied anti-Sovietism into his banner of strug- gle against Marxism-Leninism, against the Communist and Workers’ Parties, against socialism and communism, against the world revolution and peace in order to gain the approval and un- derstanding of the imperialist clique headed by the U.S.A. and obtain the possibility of collaborating with it. Another reason for the violence of his attacks on the Soviet Union and the CPSU is that the Great October Revolu- tion has witnessed its 50th anniversary. The Great October Socialist Revolution and its brilliant achievements in the building of socialism and communism over the past 50 years have opened the vista of a bright future for all mankind. This is the greatest force inspiring the working class and all other working people throughout the world. It is the ° greatest force inspiring the CPC and the Chinese people, who are at present afflicted by a great tragedy. Through furious anti-Soviet campaigns Mao Tse-tung seeks to rupture the long- established, traditional friendship and fraternal relations between the Com- munist Parties and peoples of China and the Soviet Union. He is beset by a har- rowing fear that the Chinese Commun- ists and the Chinese people will learn of the immense achievements, which the Soviet people, led by the CPSU, have attained in the course of the fulfilment of the new Party Program and the de- cisions of the 23rd CPSU Congress, in the building of communism, in the struggle for world peace and in render- ing support to the communist and working-class movement in different countries and to the national liberation and social-progressive movement in Asia, Africa and Latin America, ,, 22) “IUUAM I6919 5 PACIFIC TRIBUNE -MARGH 2}. I 9693 Page, 16 AG He is exceedingly afraid that the Chinese Communists and the Chinese ‘people will learn that the material and cultural life of the Soviet people is steadily improving, that they are gradu- ally moving from the principle of “from each according to his ability, to each according to his work” to the principle of “from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs,” in other words, that they are moving towards a prosperous and happy life under com- munism. Mao Tse-tung is extremely afraid that if the Chinese Communists and the Chinese people learn the truth in all these questions they will see clearer the gross absurdity and perniciousness of the so-called “thought of Mao Tse- tung” and of his policies. They will then inevitably and unanimously demand that China take the correct Marxist- Leninist road of socialist construction and of the struggle for peace, which has been followed by the Soviet Union. After appreciating all this they will rise with greater determination, on a larger scale, in a more organised manner and in greater unity against Mao Tse-tung and his “thought,” against the counter- revolutionary coup of Mao Tse-tung and his group. That is precisely why anti- Sovietism has become the focal point of Mao Tse-tung’s foreign policy and the core of his policy at home. The armed provocative attack of the Mao Tse-tung clique on Soviet frontier guards of March 2 on Soviet territory on the Damansky Island in the Ussuri river and in this connection the new anti-Soviet racket in China and abroad accompanied by outrageous territorial claims to the U.S.S.R. are not accidental events. Internally, they represent an at- tempt by Mao Tse-tung to distract the attention of the Chinese people from the incredible and growing difficulties of a political and economic character aris- ing out of the consequence of the so- called “cultural revolution,” as well as the preparation for the carrying through of the so-called “Congress of the CPC” in an atmosphere of exceptional anti- Soviet, anticommunist hysteria. Externally, this armed provocation and anti-Soviet propaganda ballyhoo re- presents an act of assistance to the anti- Soviet, anti-Communist sorties of the ruling circles of the U.S.A. and of the German Federal Republic, in particular in regards to the Bonn venture to carry through presidential elections in West Berlin of March 5 and even more so serves as an encouragement to the re- vanchist claims of Bonn to reshape the map of Europe. It also represents an attempt to interfere with the Interna- tional Conference of Communist and workers parties which aims to achieve the strengthening of the unity of the world communist and workers’ move- ment and the unity of action of all anti- itnperialist forces. Simultaneously these facts clearly show the absurd, shameful, adventurst and dangerous point reached by the anti-Sovietism and anti-Communism of Mao Tse-tung. 2. He venomously attacks the Marxist- Leninist Communist and Workers’ par- ties of all countries. vs He goes to extremes to intensify his splitting and subversive activities against the overwhelming majority of the militant contingents of Communists in different countries, organises a fifth column, t , combat, Communist and Workers’ parties, openly slanders them, calling them “counter-revolutionary re- visionist” parties, and publicly proclaims his intention of “destroying” them. He has slandered the Karlovy Vary Confer- ence which was attended by representa- tives of 24 Communist and Workers’ parties, calling it a “conference of scabs and traitors,” and he has called the leaders of each of these parties “a hand- ful of traitors and scabs.” The Budapest Consultative Meeting, attended by rep- resentatives of 66 Communist and Workers’ parties, has been named by him “the Budapest farce,” while the parties which attended it have been called a “handful of traitors and scabs.” In Western Europe he concentrates his attacks mainly on the largest and most influential Communist parties. He not only maliciously attacks Comrade Waldeck Rochet and other leaders of the French Communist Party but also slan- ders the late Maurice Thorez, the great fighter for communism. He not only maliciously attacks Comrade Luigi Longo and other leaders of the Italian Com- munist Party but also slanders the late Palmiro Togliatti, who was another great fighter for communism. At the same time he fiendishly attacks the heroic Communist Party of Spain and its glorious leader Comrade Dolores Ibarruri, a party which is in the fore- front of the struggle against fascism. He intensifies subversion and splitting activities against the Communist parties of the U.S.A., Canada and Latin America as well as against the Communist par- ties of the Arab countries. He makes a special effort to split and undermine the communist movement in Asian coun- tries neighbouring on China. The Com- munist Party of Indonesia which came under the influence of Mao Tse-tung's “Leftist” and reactionary ideas, suffered a tragic defeat as a result of which mil- lions of Communists and non-Party workers, peasants and intellectuals suf- fered horribly. Mao Tse-tung drew no lesson whatever from this. Instead, he imputed the blame to the leaders of the Communist Party of Indonesia, who died heroically. He ceaselessly engages in splitting and subversive activities against the Communist parties of India and Ceylon, causing enormous difficulties in their work. In the case of the Communist Party of Japan, which urged Mao Tse- tung to create a united front of struggle against U.S. imperialism and came out against the Maoist anti-Soviet “united front,” he did not confine himself to open slander and splitting and subver- sive activities. He organised Chinese residents in Japan into hungweiping gangs in order to manhandle Japanese Communists and attack and destroy the building housing the Society for Japan- ese-Chinese Friendship; he bribes hooli- gans and Trotskyite elements to attack offices of the Japanese Communist Par- ty. In Peking, acting on his instructions, hunhgweipings beat up and seriously in- jured alternate member of the Presi- dium of the CC CPJ Itiro Sunama, cor- a _ BAYONETTED SOVIET FRONTIER SOLDIER... © bas neich respondents of the CPJ newspaper, a, well as Japanese students. Moreover, hy openly proclaims his intention to “de molish” the CPJ and calls for the liquj dation of top leaders of the CPJ, com, rades Sandzo Nosaka and Kendjj Miyamoto, Thus, Mao Tse-tung mouths “Leftist" verbiage about a “world revolution” by in fact engages in splitting and subver. sive activities with the object of “de. molishing” the foremost contingents heading the revolutionary movement jp different countries; he speaks of 4 “struggle against the imperialist clique and reactionaries of all countries head. ed by the U.S.A.” but does exactly what the U.S. imperialists and all reaction. aries want but cannot do. A striking example in this respect js his attitude towards the developments in Czechoslovakia. He and his group level dirty slander and fabrications at the Soviet Union and other socialist countries as well as against the healthy forces in the Communist Party of Czech. oslovakia and among the Czechoslovak people, thereby directly and openly pouring grist on the mill of U.S. and West German imperialism and of the counter-revolutionary and anti-socialist forces within Czechoslovakia. 3. He plans to split and undermine the national liberation movement in Asia, Africa and Latin America, pursu ing a policy of openly pressuring the developing countries of Asia and Africa, He does his utmost to split and under. mine the Afro-Asian unity movement and the movement for solidarity of the peoples of Asia, Africa and Latin Amer. ica in the joint struggle against imper. ialism, colonialism and neo-colonialism, He is, in fact, helping to put into effect the imperialist design of crushing the countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America one by one. He makes every effort to undermine the friendship and unity of the national liberation and social-progressive movements of Asia, Africa and Latin America with the Soviet Union and other socialist coun. tries as well as with the international communist movement, thereby seeking to isolate the national liberation and social-progressive movements in Asia, Africa and Latin America and deprive them of the all-round assistance of the socialist countries and the international communist movement. Mao Tse-tung keeps talking about support and assist- ance for the national liberation move: ment in Asia, Africa and Latin America, but no sooner does U.S. imperialism undertake aggression against any Asian, African or Latin American country than he, in effect, sides with U.S. imperialism. When Vietnam was made the target of armed aggression by U.S. imperial ism, instead of taking joint action with the Soviet Union and other socialist countries to help the Vietnamese people repulse this aggressor, Mao Tse-tung directed his efforts towards slander and provoking a rupture of the Vietnamese people’s friendly relations with the Soviet Union and other socialist cout
