H YDROGEN-BOMB _ ato-
maniacs and would-be germ
warriors of Wall Street try to jus-
tify their ghastly plan to annihi-
late the world by saying that the
Soviet Union «doesn’t believe in
peaceful cooperation with other
nations. *

They attribute to the Soviet
government and to Premier Joseph
Stalin their own view that dif-
ferent social systems cannot exist
together peaceably.

Best proof that they lie is the
record of the Soviet government
which, since its establishment in
1917, with J. V. Stalin as min-

ister for nationalities, has never
ceased to advocate world peace
and friendly relations between so-

cialist and capitalist countries.

Here are some of Stalin’s more
recent statements on this question:
e

1939: “The Soviet Union .. -
unswervingly pursues the policy
of peace. ..-

«|. The Foreign policy of the
Soviet Union is clear and under-
standable: Firstly, we stand for
peace and for the strengthening
of businesslike relations with all
countries. This is our position and
we will adhere to it as long as
these countries maintain identical
relations with the Soviet Union,
as long as they make no attempt
to violate our country’s interest.

“Secondly, we stand for peace-
able, close and neighborly rela-
tions with all neighboring coun-
tries which have a common fron-
tier with the USSR. .

“This is our position and we
shall adhere to it as long as these
countries maintain identical rela-
tions with the Soviet Union, as
long as they make no attempt to

PS trespass, directly or indirectly, on

the integrity and security of the
.frontiers of the Soviet State.”—
“¢Excerpts from Stalin's speech at
the 18th Congress of the Communh-
jst Party of the Soviet Union,
March 10, 1939.)

«
1944: “The peoples of the USSR

- respect the rights and indepen-

- gence ‘of ‘the peoples of foreign
‘countries and have always shown
their readiness to live in peace
‘and friendship with them.

_. “This should be regarded as the
_-basig upon which the ties between

our country and other freedom-

 Yoving people are expanding and

‘growing stronger... ; - The ideol-

‘ogy of the equality of all races
and. nations which has become
. firmly established in our country, ~
the ideology of friendship among
“nations, has achieved complete
“-Yictory over the ideology of bru-

‘tal nationalism iand race hatred.”
(Excerpts. from Stalin’e speech,

November 6, 1944.)

1934: “I have in mind the res-
toration of normal relations be-
tween the USSR and the United
States. There cannot be any doubt
that this act has very serious sig-
nificance for the whole system of

international relations.

“Jt is not only that it infproves

the chance of preserving peace,
that it improves the relations be-
tween the two countries, strength-
ens commercial intercourse be-
tween them and creates a base for
mutual cooperation; it is a land-
mark between the old, when the
United States in various countries

was regarded as the bulwark for -

all sorts of anti-Soviet tendencies,
and the new, when this bulwark

a

was voluntarily’ removed, to the
mutual advantage of both coun-
tries.” — (Excerpt from Stalin’s
speech, 17 Congress, Communist
Party of the Soviet Union, Janu-
ary, 1934.)

1945: “In war our two countries
have been held together by a com-
mon tie, the war against the
common enemy. Now that we are

‘ ; 4

again the victors and we are no
longer bound together by that tie,
we shall have to find other ties,

‘equally strong. That will not be _

easy, but as Christ said, ‘Seek and
ye shall find.’”—In talk with Sen-
ator Claude Pepper of Florida, in
Moscow, September 14, 1945.)

®

1946: “I absolutely believe in it
(the possibility of lasting coopera-
tion between the Soviet Union
and the Western democracies, de-
spite the existence of ideological
differences). ’ ‘

“Tt do not doubt that the possi-
bilities of peaceful cooperation,
far from decreasing, May even
grow.’—(In reply to questions by
Alexander Werth, Moscow corre-
spondent of the London Sunday
Times, September 24, 1946.)

o i
1946: “In the ,most strenuous

times during the war the differ-

ences in government did not pre-
vent our two nations from joining
together and vanquishing our
foes, more so it is possible to con-
tinue thig relationship in time of
peace... , The expansion of world

“trade would benefit in many re-

spects the development of good
relations between our two coun-
-tries.".—(In answer to questions
by Elliot Roosevelt during Mos-
cow interview, December 21, 1946.)
e

1947: “.... Just as the Soviet
Union has always stood for im-
proved relations with all countries,
so it now stands for such improve-
ment, beginning with the United
States and Great Britain.

“Tf these countries wish to im-
prove relations with the Soviet
Union, they will be welcome, We
shall be prepared to go forward
to meet them, irrespective of what
the economic set-up may be in
those countries. ‘

“Cooperation between countries
having different economic sys-
tems is possible. That already has

_ been proved by experience.

“Tf, however, they do not want
to improve their relations with the
Soviet Union; we shall have to do
without them. We shall, neverthe-
less, be able to carry on.

“We shall wait until they regain
their reason and understand that
