Soviet Union. \Yc knew tlmt ac
cording to tlie liCiiin-StAlin ver
soin of tlie t'oinuiuuist creed, tin*
supreme moral goal of mankind
was tin* ct sabl Lsh incut of com
munism in all nations. XVe knew
that 1/cuiu himself had consid
ered this end as justifying tin*
use of nil means for its attain
ment; that lie had written in
chapter <» of liis pamphlet. The*
Infantile Sickness of I.cltisni in
Communism, first published in
1**20: ‘‘It is necessary * * to
to use any ruse, running, unlaw
ful tnetthods, evasion, conceal
ment of truth.” and that he
looked forward to wars with
non-Coinmunist states like- the
United States, which In* called
either “bourgeois” or “imperial
ist," before the ultimate world
triumph of communism. He had
stated bis views frankly: “We
at*,, living not merely in a state,
but in a system of states, and
it is inconceivable that tin* So
viet, Republic should continue
for a long period side 1>.\ side
with imperialist states. Ulti
mately one or the other must
compier. Meanwhile a number
of terrible clashes between tlie
Soviet Republic and tin* bour
geois states is inevitable.”
Mr. Builil continued:
The Soviet Covcrninent beli
eves in a Communistie creed,
which it teaches to all if-, child
roll, for which it prepares them
to live, anil, if need bo, to die.
That is the >lar\-l,enin-StnIiu
creed which denies <>od and cl
aims to he based on scion!ifie
fad; hut is based on the improb
able assumption that the estab
lishment of t’omniiiuist dictator
ship throughout the earth and
the abolition of private owner
ship of the means of product ion
will end all war, civil and inter
nal ional, and so improve the na
ture of all men in all nations
that, in Lenin's phrase, “the
state will wither away” and all
men will live without a state in
perfect freedom and happiness.
As Kngels, the collaborator of
Marx, envisioning a Communist
world, wrote "tin* machine of
the state is put into the museum
of antiquities, along side of the
spinning wheel and the bronze
ax.”
Lenin * * * believed that the
state, whether in his hands or in
the hands of a “bourgeois gov
ernment,” was an instrument of
violence; hut that, while living
under Communist dictatorship,
“W.dlo there is a state," re said,
“there is no freedom. When th
ere is freedom there will he no
state."
The Communist t rue-believer
offers his life as gallautlv as an
early Christian. He believes that
he is fighting for the emancipa
tion of ail humanity from all
ex il. lie thinks he serves eternal
tin'll The Communis! Party, to
Stint, is a union of the faithml.
Ills old testament is file books
! of Marx and Kngels; Ids new
testament, I lie works of Lenin
and Stalin,
i Since tIt,, highest moral goal, I
I according to the t'ominiinist cr-j
eed. is to achieve the destruct-'
lion of the stall*, following the1
ns(uh]iShinnt of t'ommiinist die-!
tutorship throughout tin* earth, I
the highest moral duty of man j
is to serve to promote such dic
tatorship. 'P.iix supreme moral :

' l''oue short statements of Lenin
. and Stalin contain tin* funda
mental theses on which Soviet |
foreign policy is based:
i ‘ !
; I. We are living not merely;
in a state, Imt in a system of
1 states; ami it is iiieniu*ievnh]e
tihal the Soviet licpuhlic should

said:
Since th(> control of the Soviet
