We went on Mr. Chairman, to the mausoleum where we were shown the

mausoleum of one of the leaders of the Soviet Union, Lenin. I then

really felt th*t we should fight for our rights in this country. You

know the Czar of Russia fought against the people of Russia in the

name of Jesus Christ, but through the leadership of Lenin and Stalin

they got their freedom. We were also shown a 400 ton bell, a churfh

bell - the Czars with precious metals on their horses's harness

went to church whilst the people were oppressed, whilst the people

were starving, but after the revolution there was plenty for every­

body .

Even in the big universities you find children of

poor parents and not only children of rcih parents like here where

only some people can afford to send their children to school,

education there is given to people on the same level. I asked

them to take me to church. They took me to a Roman Catholic Church.

You know here we hear propaganda that the people there don’t worship.

In this church I saw only a few elderly people, but they then

took me to the Russian Orthodox church. That was not like our

churches - you know us Africans when we go to church we beat

our chest and tell God about our weaknesses - the music was lovely,**

I am not a lover of music and I could not understand the words,

but the music seemed to say 'Holy I Holyl Lord God Almighty I The -•

On this 39th anniversary of the Soviet Union, we know

as an oppressed nation that in the Soviet Union there is no longer

oppression of man by man. There is no longer a minority of people

who oppress the others. The people there love peace. Peace is one

of the things they want, they hate war. The Soviet people have spent

a great deal of energy and skill to efface the scars left by the war.

And we have been tolfi that economically the Soviet Union has made

tremendous progress./ Industrially they produce three times as much as before the war.

are made in biology, science, etc,, and these discoveries are being

The eyes of the country are turned to the future, they

desire the happiness of their children. They are building schools,

creches, sanatoriums, pioneer camps - all for the benefit of the

children. In the last 4 years they have built 500,000 new schools.

D.C. THOMPSON t "Thank you Mrs. Ngoyi. Our next speaker is Mr.

Paul Joseph, he will address us on ’The Soviet Union and its

Alliea'.

PAUL JOSEPH : "Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen, it is rather

sad that on the 39th anniversary of the foundation of the Soviet

Union we have reached the stage in South Africa where the Soviet

Consul has been expelled - I feel that the Soviet Union should

be requested to send their consul back.

I have been paging through 'The Star' of 1943,

1944 and 1945» and inter alia have been reading speeches made by

Mr. Winston Churchill, then leader of the opposition. You know

in those days it was considered correct to celebrate the victories

of the Soviet Army over Nazi Germany. I remember in 1943 we had a

meeting here in Johannesburg celebrating the victory of the

Soviet Union, and it was attended by 100,000 people - even Jan

Hofmeyer sent us a message of goodwill, in which he stated, quote

how the Red Army swe^pS* over the Nazis.......,we also received

a message from Dr. Osborn of the Labour Party, he said, quote,

we must follow the example of the Russians.......,and in 1945 when

the war draw to its close, when Winston Churchill said in the

House of Commons, although with his tongue in his cheeck, quote,

it is the desire of this house that there shall be friendship

between the British and Russian people.......

For 39 years the people of Russia h^ve been free from

oppression - have they progressed on the path of Socialism. Prom

1917 the question was asked, *Can a Socialist country like the

Soviet Union exist side by side with capitalist countries ?', and

the policy of the Soviet Union has been, *We can at least exist

side by side with the capitalist countries*. They believe in

peaceful co-existence. It is a fundamental fact that the~people

of the Soviet Union have completely change's the whole political

structure of their society, and they ahave a society where the

whole of the country and its products are theirs, ./it is true

that they had tremendous setbacks. As a result of the 1914-18

war they lost 4 million people, and in the last war they ihost l£ V V

million people, but since 1917 they have brought freedom to countries like Lithuania, Estonia, etc. Since the early thirties

Hitlerism theatened them, but they continued to safeguard the

interests of the people, and we also know that since the last war

the capitalist countries have baon trying to provoke the Soviet

Union. The Soviet Union however, has consistently worked for

peace, in Uno, in Trade Union bodies, at Youth Festivals, every­

where, they have endeavoured to secure peace amongst the five

.... /6

:reat powers. To show its goodwill the Soviet Union has reduced

its armaments , and has tried to induo* the Western powers to do the

saae * it came forward with the plea that the armed strength of

the Soviet Union and the United States should bs minimized to

1 \ million *aen and that of Prance and Britain to 650,000 men* But

by all kinds of pretexes the Western Powers refused these overtures

by the Soviet Union to solve the problem* of the world. Thera

is no doubt that the Soviet Union tries to come to an understanding

with the rest of the world*

Alone the Soviet Union reduced it3 armed forces,; the

Soviet Union reduoed its armed forces in Eastern Germany and many

other plaoea. That is positive proof that the Soviet Union intend#

to solve the peace questions and to show her determination in this

respeot, she has invited pundits of other countries to come and

visit the Soviet Union — Hr* Fehru of India, Ur* Soekarno of Indo­

nesia* 2'or 3S years the Soviet Union has extended the hand of

friendship and assistance. The Soviet Onion has even extended help

to capitalist countries. “!e think of the visit of the Bolshoi

Theatre Group to Ita^land, the personal successes of Ulanova j

60,000 people visited the theatre in three nights, and Britain

retaliated with provocation unprecedented in history - the arrest

of Rina Pomorieva for the alleged theft of, I thAnk hats, the

oharges were afterwarda dropped* (Member of the au&dlnee — 'She

was convictedI)•

The Soviet Union has spent thousands of pounds to assist

the underdeveloped countries of the world* They have given teohnioal

assistance to Burma, have built an atomic re-actor in Egypt* Bulgaria,

a country whioh formerly could not even produce a steel plate, today

builds ships. And then I do not even mention the help the Soviet

Union has given to Korea and China, and these help* has been given

to countries which are in no way communist countries. Ws have the

evidence of a man like John Gunther ” nobody oan accuse him of

being a communist* Ho says, quote t 34# increase in the production

of Sgypt after flusai&n assistance. He visited Ethiopia where he

visited a hospital staffed by Russians* This Hospital is already

40 years old, and after the revolution in Russia the Russians decided

to oarry on with the hospital. The people of Ethiopia have d o s e

links with the Soviet Union, especially the Ethiopian Church whioh

dates from 1896*

The allies of the Soviet Union, in it you find nothing

whioh resembles colonialism - like in the colonial oountry where the

first thing you find is poverty* The Soviet Union has no ulterior../T

motive, like the Western Colonial powers - cheap labour. Cheap

labotir you only find in colonial countries. When we see the

conditions in the ©denial nountries amongst the sub jutted

people, \rhex*e are the hunanitarlrtns then ? These imperialist

countries ai*o dut for \«*ar, for antagonism, as the evests

th»*» 3*;m8 Canal show. Tho Soviet Union on the other hand h*v taken

positive steps to losoen strive in this era.

Austria Is one of tne countries wnioh was occupied

after the war by other European countries - th» United States

of America, Britain, Franoe and the Soviet Union. Last year Mr.

Julius Haab, the Austrian Chancellor went to Ruy^ia to conclude a

treaty and after his return from Moscow, he said *«s got more than

we expected'• And Austria is not a ooiuaunist oountry. Then there is

Finland - the imperialists usually say that when the Russicms depart

from a country - they left it a puppet communist state - there is

no greater lie I The Russians left Finnland, and Finland is not a

socialist state, simply because the people there did not ohoose

socialism.•

According to the Potsdam agreement Austria was to

have paid the Soviet Union a huge sum for war compensation. The

Soviet Union vaived that oompenea^ion - a sum to the extent of

25o,000 Austrian shillings, and they ^eve buot to Austria, a country

rioh In oil, its oil (fields). Then a borgeosie newspaper in Franoe

said it was to unsure the friendship ana neutrality of Austria.

Slanderers say that the U.S.S.R. are keeping the Hungarians in bonds.

I have here a little document that come* from London - It says the

U.5.S.R. stands for peaceful co-existence, understanding and respect

for other countries, and the U.S.S.R. government has in 1956 as

a result of a paot, .granted to Hungary 100 million roubles as a

loan, repayable annually at an interest rate of 2 jt, and you know

that other countries has been assisted by the Soviet Union * Siam

and Libya for instance, and nobody can aoouse the Soviet Union

of giving this assistanoe for the purpose of oonqueet, as is tha

oase with Aaerioa, when she gives aid, li has strings attaehed to

it*

Egypt for instance ? Tfasser first went to the Western

powers for assistanoe, he oould not jet aid to build the Aswan dam,

and then he appealed to the Soviet Union and jot aid to help him

to build the daa>. I can 30 on like that with fi^ires showing

how the Soviet Union assisted underdeveloped countries - Poland,

Albania, etc. ’Tven leaiera from Capitalist countries aay that the Soviet Union .nd capitalist countries can exist side by side.'^r"\

in Hungary ware not free, tney ware in th© claws of a Fascist

we should recognise and realise that the Soviet Union as a

country ha8 suffered a lot at the hands of Germany and its ally

Hungary in the last war. Mr. Chairman, we must realise that

millions of people in the Soviet Union died as a result of the

actions of Fascist troops led by lorthy and Hitler. You will

recall the devastation caused in the U.S.S.R. by the Nazi invasion.

by the Russian troops. They were driven back and out of countries

like Hungary, Bulgaria, Poland, etc., and this happened directly as

a result of the struggle of the U.S.S.R. These countries were

liberated by the red army t Mr. Chairman, we must face these facts,

that these countries were liberated from the Nazis mainly as a

result of the struggles of the Soviet people and its army. And Mr.

Chairman then we must also realise that the Soviet Union was well

aware that the armies of these countries, countries like Hungary,

were used against the Soviet Union, used against the Soviet Union

by certain interested groups in these countries to make war against

the Soviet Union.

not - after it had fought and driven the Nazis out of these countries

- could not leave them as it were to revert back to Nazism, and

again to use their armies against the Soviet Union. We must recall

that these people were the aggressors against the Soviet Union, and

one condition of the peace treaty the Soviet Union concluded with

Hungary was that Soviet troops would remain in Hungary to prevent

an upsurge of reactionary power - that was by agreement. This re­

maining behind of troops in occupied territory is not peculiar to

the Soviet Union - troops of the Western Allies remained behind

in Germany together with Soviet tropps.

in Hungary by agreement, and in the days since 1944 the people

of Hungary began to taste liberation and freedom. It is since

then that they have started to elect their own parties to govern

them. It is since then that a group came into power which deprived

the land barons of their land, and it is since then that the means

of production has been taken away from the monopolies which owned

them before and handed them to the workers of Hungary.

change - these changes, and then we come to the present situation,

as I said since 1944 a new life was ushered in - the workers owned

the means of production, and serious mistakes have been made ; here

Of course, in the end the Nazi invaders were driven bach

Under these circumstances the Soviet Union could

Mr. Chairman, as I want to indicate, the troops are

Naturally these groups were not pleased by this

A l

here in the Political Encyclopedia it says 'Hungary was the

Citadel of Feudalism*, and this country was one of the first

countries in the world to make anti-Jewish laws - to put the

Jews in ghettoes. And in fact it is since 1944 that Hungary has

ceased to make laws against the Jews* But, naturally, in the

operation of democratic machinery by a people who have had little

experience of democracy, mistakes were made, however, they

succeeded in multiplying their production four times in a very

short period - four times since the war.

These successes seemed to have oaused some

tensions. They became dizzy and bueauoratic tendencies appeared,

but I want to emphasise that despite these mistakes and disappoint­

ments, that d*es not in any way mean that there has not been

progress in Hungary - there has been more personal freedom in

People’s Hungary than before. That is a point I think we should

understand, but there remained in Hungary a large group of people

who were dissatisfied - those land barons deprived of their lqnd,

rich people who were now forced to work - the old capitalists -

the military class, and then, we know that America has been

very, very active in Hungary trying to incite the people — funds

have been raised in America, one (Luoias Klein) has raised 11

million dollar in 1949 -1950, and that to inoite the people

of the People’s democracies to revolt.

The American government did not sit still either -t

pamphlet8 and arms have been dropped over the people's democracies

by the American government - and then you have Radio Free Europe,

what it is free from I do not know, because it is certainly not

free from America - it transmits American propaganda in thirteen

languages - and on April 16th this year the New York Tribunal

said that Radio Free Europe was staffed by Americans and financed

by Americans. Why don't they call it Radio Free America ? And

this campaign by America has been going on for a long time. One

cannot overlook the aims of these Americans. ZX is certainly not

merely a desire to see the peoples of the free democracies

changing their social system back to capitalism. Apart from the

fact that these aims are of a political nature, they are also

militant - Amerioa intends to and indeed established bases closer

and closer to the Soviet Union.

Also, there is a certain amount of discontent

in the People's Democracies. This is as I have said, a country

just emerging from feudalism, and, for instanoe, their soap may

not be of a quality to compare with the best obtainable in.... /12

12

America, but the aim was rather to give everybody a piece

of soap, than to allow some to have puddings and jellys

and the other nothing at all. This dieoontent has been used

by certain classes inside Hungary and by the imperialist

countries to incite the people against their legitimate govern*

ment. We don't know very well what is going on in Hungary * that

are hostile to the Soviet Union, as a matter of fact, two weeks

ago they were also hostile to People's Hungary, and their

reports are always given with such a slant.

the situation in Hungary is from the press reports, we know

however that there was a demonstration against the government,

but there was no demand by the Hungarian people for a different

social system. As a result of this demonstration against the

Hungarian government, Imre Nagy, The Prime Minister called upon

the Soviet troops in Hungary to restore order. The Soviet troops

at the request of Imre Nagy restored order and furthermore these

Soviet troops did not maroh from the Soviet Union to come and

restore order in the Republic of Hungary, no, they were already

in Hungary, they were there by agreement, and they were used

by Imre Nagy and the authorities in Hungary, and for anybody

Mr. Chairman to say that Russia was the aggressor in Hungary, is

prostitution. It is like inviting the Police to restore order

in your house, and then to accuse the Police of having attached

you.

in Hungary, those dissatisfied elements that I have mentioned

seized the opportunity to start difficulties, and the government

of Hungary did what any responsible government will do, they

called upon the Soviet troops in Hungary to stop the acts of

barbarism of the reactionaries, and when the Soviet troops assisted

them, then they turned round and said 'Out ! Tou are butchering

us I Out you go now S Mr. Chairman, one looks at a situation

like that, and one oan oome to but one conclusion - this unrest

is the result of continuous propaganda against the Soviet Union,

for the last 39 years in fact. Then the people decided they

don't want Nagy any more and put up Mr. Kader, and there was

again demontrations and acts of barbarism, looting, etc., and

the Soviet troops again restored order - now the imperialist

oountries start attacking the Soviet Union. One chap, I do not

even know his name said that the Soviet Union must now cease

speaking about colonialism. What mockery I Not even our very

hostile western newspapers have ever said that the people's

I must admltj *be newspapers in our country, Mr. Chairman, they

It is very difficult to judge accurately what

And it was then Mr. Chairman that certain elements

/13

13

democracies were oolonies of the Soviet Union, they have

coined a new word - satellites, beoause in fact, they are not

colonies. They are satellites because they chose the same

system as the Soviet Union, and even today there is no demand

by these countries for a return to the old system.

Now, Mr. Chairman, Hungary is next to the Soviet

Union, sind the red army is the most dreaded army in the world.

Hungary has a population of 10 million people, a country

like South Africa, and that is where the Soviet troops were

called in to restore order. If the Soviet Union wanted to

over-run, and conquer and take Hungary, would they have had so

muoh difficulty in taking it ? If they wanted to take

Hungary would it have taken them weeks and weeks ? Even the

forces of Hitler could not stand for an hour against the

Russians, would it waste weeks and weeks trying to take a

small country ? Even our Western masters can say that the

Soviet Union did the right thing - they cannot say that Russia

wants to conquer the Hungarians.

We know why Egypt was attacked. It is said

Britain, by Eden * 'Either we have the Suez canal or our

oil machinery is in danger*, but nobody can say that the

Soviet Union wants any such thing. It is just the other

round./Mr. Chairman, in conclusion I want to deal with the

question of colonialism. Mr. ohairman, we people of South

Africa, the people of Africa, we know what colonialism is. We

know it and we feel what colonialism is. It means poverty,

exploitation, the removal of the wealth of one’s own country to

some other country - incidentally, that charge has not yet

been laid at the doorstep of the Soviet Union. I must also

say that we know very little about what actually happened in

Hungary - the few observations I have made, I have the same

sources of information whioh you have. I feel in due course

we will be able to disoern more accurately what oooured there,

and it is the Job of your society Mr. Chairman to elicit the

truth. The truth shall be revealed by your society, a society

for peace and friendship with lihe people of the Soviet Union. *

The object ef this Conference is to fora a Peace0. in Natal prior to the National P.C. which is taking place in Johannesburg towards the end of July. We who want peace must exert pressure on our Govt, and en world to establish peace. War if it comes will net be remote since Radium is pro­duced in S.A. it has come to our baokyard. war means the destr, of all men has built throughout oenturies. Thousands have already signified their abhorrence of war by signing petition* for P.My duty as Oh. is not to make a speech but to Adv. Fischer who has eome from J'burg to addr. and inspire. My duty is furthers more to guide and assist you in forming P.O. for Natal.

Adv. Fischer.

I am not an orator but I hope to inspire you - not because what I say but because what I stand for. You are aware of terr. new weapons which are being used in Korea. It is the object of the P.C. -to avail on Oovts. to stop unnecessary war.The people of the world, do not want war. Proof of this is the warmth which the 1800 delegates were given bu people of Germany. These people know the mtnning of war. They know what it meant to be bombed out of their houses and to seek shelter in oaves only to be traced and be bonbed ou of the oaves again. I know the delegates gathered here are aware of the Aestruo. goinp on in modern warfare. It is with the greatest difficulty that we who advocate peace get into the press.' That is why I travel round the oountry to propagate the P. movement. There is no necessity to make war - everything oan be settled between men and nen. If the Five Big Powers cone together and sign a pact that they will not go to war then only will there be poaoe.The war in Korea has been going on for 3 years and for 2 out of3 years negotiations have been in progress without reaohlng finality. These negotiations need not fail if there is suffi- olent goodwill from both parties and this oan only be brought abou if the people of the world insist and prevail on their Govts, the neoessity for P. A recent Gallup Poll in Amer. showed people of Amer. arc sick and tired of war and also sick and tired of paying for tens war. You must remember that there are already 1 million soldiers in Aaer. oho have fought in the Korean War. But how oan we have peaoe when you hare men like Adenauer who speaks of rescuing Germany by war. 3ome even speak of re-establishing the Nazi Army. The natter is one of great urgenoy. Things have changed very rapidly lately although some people also start to speak in terms of negotiations. There is a great difflrenoe between a Churchill who until very recently spoke of great armies and Ch. who now speaks in terns of nego's. All States should recognise that they should live together in Peaoe and Harmony.

You people may think that you as individuals have no power to Intervene as these things are fought out in Govt. Chambers but this is a falsehood. It is wrong because the in- dividual is the person who will be called upon to fight and

The whole question at Z aee It is whether there should be pe&oe or war. In order to have peace we must first have war - but th^ra is a constant awr on. In order to have peace we oust first of all fight the battle of interests in the world today. There are so many oonflieting interests in the worl* today. Sven ay beloved Ch. Lutull may not be present at this meeting because of these inte­rests. Then there is the interest of newspapers. They only publish what is in their interest or the interest of those they represent. They publish of Russia only what is in their interest. We know those people live ae we do, love as wo love. ¥et they want us to believe Shat they are diffirent to us. People are kept ignorant purposely.

must flcht against the keeping of people Ignorant. Iiy bob sag® to •Ratal is that we muet fight our own battles first before we dan contribute to world peaee.
