RUSSIA: Diatribes

• Share

A proclamation issued by the Communist Internationale said in part:

"It [the U. S.] is still greedily reaching out for new wealth, searching the whole world for fresh sources and striving by fraud and violence to monopolize them. By this action it is again reviving the terrible spectre of War."

The Russian Labor Gazette also contained a diatribe against the U. S.:

"The United States has become a great empire, having acquired a number of colonies and suzerainty over most of the South American republics. It is extending its superiority in the Pacific. Rich in man power, strong economically, and unlimited in capital, it now is preparing to invade Europe.

"Austria and Hungary, by reason of the loans extended to them, already are under the financial heel of the United States. The same fate awaits Germany. It may be deduced from this that American imperialism seeks new colonies in Europe, which makes war inevitable."
