While the var has been carried on, the states-Allies in the war
against Germany and Japan were marching together and composed one
camp. However,, in the camp of the Allies already at that time existed
a dir 'c ronco in the definition of the aims of the war and the tasks of
the post-war organisation of the world. The Soviet Union and the
democratic countries considered as the basic aims of the war the restoration
and strengthening of the democratic.order in Europe, liquidation of
fascism, an avertion of the possibility of a new aggression on the port
of Germany and the formation of all-round and long co-operation of the
peop as of r'ux'opp:. USA, and in agroemort with her Britain, had in the
wax another aim i.e. to got rid of the competitors on the markets
(Germanys Japan), and the establishment of their domineering position.
This difference in tho definition of the aims of the w&r and the tasks
of pot-war organization began to widen during the post-war period.
There were formed two opposite political lines; at one pole the policy
of the USSR and the democratic countries, aimed at the undermining of
imperialism and strengthening of democracy,.and at the other pol.e.
the policy of the USA and Britain, aimed at strengthening of imper-
ialism and suppression of democracy. As the USSR and the countries of
new democracy became an obstacle in the realization of the imperialistic
plans of the struggle for the world's domination and destruction of
democratic movements, there was proclaimed a campaign against the USSR
and the countries of now democracy, strengthened also by threats of a
now war on the part of the most mottled imperialistic politicians of
the USA and Britain,
Therefore, two caiaps have been formed-the camp of imperialism and
anti.-democratic, which has as its basic aim the achiovment of world
domination by an American imperialism and destruction. of democracy,
and the anti.-imperialistic and democratic camp, the basic aim of which
is the undermining of imperialism, the strengthening of democracy and
liquidation of the remnants of fascism.
The struggle of the to opposite camps; i.e,, imperialistic and
anti-imperialistic, is taking place in condition of a further. sharpening
of the general crisis of capitalism, the weakening of the forces of
capitalism and strengthening of the forces of socialism sand democracy.
Therefore, the imperialistic camp and its leading power the USA
show a particularly aggressive activity. This activity is spreading
simultaneously in all directions,-in the direction of the military and
strategic measures, economic expansion and ideological struggle.
Trumaxa.-Marshall plan is only an integral part;i.o., the European sector
of the general plan of the world's expansionists policy, realized by the
USA in all parts of the world. The plan of the economic and political
onslavemont of Europe by an American imperialism is supplemented by
the plans of economic and political enslavement in China, Indonesia

and the countries of Latin America,, The agEvossors of yosterde --
the capitalistic .nra -nates of Ger. zriany and Japan are being prepared by
the United States of America to a new role;i.e., to become a weapon
of the imporialistic po1g .$ of the USA in Europe and Asia.
The arsenal of the tactical_ moans, utilized by the imperialistic
camp, is very diverse. Here is combined a straight threat by the
force, the blackmail, the extortion, all measures of political and
economical pressure, br. ibory, utilization of the internal contradictions
and quarrels, in order to strengthen their positions, and all this is
being covered by the libernI-pacifists masks, calculated at the doceipt
and. catching of the non+.teriptod in the politics people.
A special place in the arsenal of the tactical means of the
imperialists occupies the utilization of the treacherous policy of the
right-socialists of the type of Blum in France, Attlee and Bovin in
Britain, Schumacher An Germany , Renner and Scharff in Austria,
Sarragatta in Italy, etc., who are trying to hide the actual bandit
essence of the imperialistic policy under the mask of the democracy
and socialistic phraseology, but actually they are the true accomplices
of the imperialists and bring decomposition in the ranks of the working
people and poison their conscience. Not by a chance the foreign
policy of the British imperialism found in the person of Bovin its most
consequent and ardent guide.
In those conditions it is necessary for the ariti.?imperiolistie
and democratic camp to unite, to work out an agreed platforms of actions
and to work our, our own tactics against the main forces of the imporir-
alisti o camp, against the Arior_ icaxi imporialism, against its British
and French Allies, as well as against the rights-socialists, first of
all, in Britain and France.
Efforts of all democratic and anti-imperialistic forces of Europe
are/noce, rdin order, to break the plan of the imperialistic aggression.
In this case the right-socialists are traitors. With the exception of
those countries of now democracy, whore the block of the Communists
with other democratic progressive parties comprises the basis of re-
sistance of those countries and., first of all, the French socialists
and the British labor i_ }ts- Ratad3.e, Blum, Attlee and Bevin-by their
servile obedience and obligingness, facilitate the task of the raoric i
capital, provoke it to extortions and are pushing their countries to the
road of the va sal dependency to the United States of America.
Hence, it is clear that on the Communist Parties falls a special
task, They must take into their hands the banner of defence of the

national indepondo ce and the soverei.gni.ty of their countries. If
the Corumanist Parties will firmly stand on their positions, if they will
rc,t the others frighten and, black-mail them, if they will boldly stand
on the guard of democracy, national sovereignity, freedom and indo.
nendenco of, their c"ountries, if they in their struggle against the
4titte mpts to economical and political enslavement of these countries,
to head all forces, which are ready to defend the) deed of honour and
national independence,-no plans of the enslavement of the countries of
Europe and Asia can bo roalizod.
This is now one, of the basic tasks of the Oompartios.
It is necessary to rombor that between the desire of the
imperialists to unlac.,se a new war and the possibility to organize
such a warp- is a great distance. The peoples of the world do not
want war. The forces, which are for the peace are so considerable
and so great, that if those forces will be firm and solid in the matter
of defence of the peace, if they will, show firmness,.- then the plans of
the aggressors will suffer a complete defeat. It Is necessary to rememw-
bor that the noise of the imperialistic agents around the danger of the
war aims at frigbtoni.ng those with feeble nerves and unsteady, and,
by the way of black-mail, to achieve the concessions to the aggressor.
The main danger to the working class at present is in the under..
estimating of its forces and in the over-estimating those of the
imperialistic camp. As the Munchen's policy in the past unloosed_
the hands of, the Hitler's aggression, so the concessions to a now
course of the USA and the imperialistic camp might make its inspirors
the more insolent and aggressive. Therefore, the Communist Parties
must head the resistance' to the plans of the imperialistic expansion
and aggression in all directions-stato,political, economical and
ideological; they must join and unite their efforts on the basis of the
common anti-imperialistic and democratic platform and rally all doraocrstic
and patriotic forces of the peoples,
THE RESOLUTION REGARDING THE MCCHOTGE OF THE EXPERIENCE AND
CO.'ORDINATION OF THE ACTIVITY OF THE PARTIEtar REPRESENTED ILT
THE CONFERENCE.
The Conference ostablishos, that the absence of the tios between
the Comparties, which took part in this Conference, in the present day
situation is a serious defect. The experience has shown that such
disconnection between the Compa.rties was wrong and harmful. The necessity
of the exchange of the experience and of the voluntary co-ordination
of the activity of the separate Parties is particularly needed now in
the conditions of complication of the post-war international situation,
