Transcript | 56 WOMEN IN THE Long live the world revolution ! Signe Sillen (Sweden), Member of the Swedish C.P., read the following declaration on behalf of the Scandinavian delegation : As representatives of working class women s organisations in Scandin avia, we take this opportunity of conveying to you our warmest greetings. We working women of Scandinavia fully understand the danger which threatens the Soviet Union. And we too shall do everything in our power to make our class comrades conscious of the fact that the overthrow of the Soviet Union would remove any possibility of women in other countries attaining full equality. The existence of the Soviet Union is of the greatest advantage to the international proletariat, for so long as we can point to what the working women of Russia have achieved by their own strength, can we spur on the will to struggle and the enthusiasm of our own women comrades in an energetic fight for the same objects can we lead working women into the fighting ranks and act in the same spirit as our Russian sisters. But should the imperialists succeed in their intentions, it would not only mean that our sons and brothers would risk their lives, it would mean that we should be compelled to fight against our Russian brothers and sisters, against those who fought for us. That must not happen ! Therefore, in our own countries, we shall oppose the war-mongers and expose the lies, of the bourgeois press by spreading the truth about the socialist construction we have witnessed in the Soviet Union. |
