Transcript | SOVIET UNION 49 in the factories, in the streets, wherever we met them, but we should never tire of discussing this question. [The speaker went on to describe the wretched conditions of women in Czecho-Slovakia under the growing economic, social and political oppression and continued] : We have not met only to express our joy at the achievements of the Soviet Union; we have met to discuss how we can parry the attacks of the imperialist powers on the Soviet Union. And we want to make the following suggestion. We should like to propose to the International Congress of the Friends of New Russia to draw up an appeal to the working women of the world, pointing out the danger of an imperialist attack on the Soviet Union and the difficulties under which the Soviet workers carried out their work of construction; the appeal should also point out to women that if the Soviet Union is not allowed to carry on this work peacefully and is forced to take up arms in defence, the workers of the whole world will lose all that they have gained by bitter struggles in the past. The women of the whole world would be roused by such an appeal to enter the ranks in defence of the Soviet Union. Only by putting all our strength into the revolutionary struggle can a new socialist order of society be created, and with that, and only with that, the new, free woman will be born. Comrade Shurskaya (Poland) : In the name of the Polish women workers I greet you, comrades, with the call: "Long live the international solidarity of working women!" |
