HENRY WALLACE places in the foreground the necessity for fighting the slightest idea that war is inevitable between the United tates nd the Soviet Union. He explains that the nation of Socialism and the capitalist world may exist peacefully, and that in the final analysis peace depends upon the realistic possibility of attaining a modus vivendi between the two systems. The question of learning which will triumph over the other is not decisive today, the author asserts, peaceful competition between the two will decide. BY SP/RSLIC_L He therefore condemns the reactionary anti-Soviet policy of American imperialism, under all of its aspects, notably under that of 7) at the Truman Yoctrine, and the Marshall Plan. He clearly analyzes the — relation between the fact that monopolist capitalism profits greatly from the armament program, and from the propaganda in favor of the inevitability of war, and concludes on this point, that the first step with the aim of guaranteeing the peace must be the elimination of the =scontrol exercised by Wall Street over the Government, through the election if 3of an administrative machine belonging to a new party.

He considers that the October Revolution marked a con- siderable progress in the history of the world, justifies the Moscow trials against the "Nazi-Trotskite" conspirators, correctly estimates the role of the Soviet Union in the battle for collective security prior to 1939, and recognizes the legitimacy of the Germano-Soviet Pact. “hen he is told that the USSR is too suspicious, he replies that this attitude is justified by history (capitalist interventions, Munichism) an the present (policy of the United States Government).
