ABSTRACT
It is not surprising that bourgeois pacifism is now dragging out a miserable existence, and that idle talk of disarmament is giving way to ‘businesslike’ talk about armament and rearmament. Again, as in 1914, the parties of bellicose imperialism, the parties of war and revenge, are coming into the foreground. Quite clearly things are heading for a new war … Still others, again, think that war should be organised against the USSR. Their plan is to defeat the USSR, divide up its territory, and profit at its expense. It would be a mistake to believe that it is only certain military circles in Japan who think this way. We know that similar plans are being hatched in the leading political circles of certain European states.
