tered as a newspaper at the Office. Published by Workers Street, Clapham High Street, London. IN ONE of his rare political Tse-tung has denounced the Cambodia and warned of the world war.

Broadcast on Wednesday by Peking Radio, Mao's statement called on the Indo-Chinese to fight 'a protracted people's war' against US imperialism.

Mao expressed his support for the Cambodian government in exile, formed by the deposed Prince Norodom Sihanouk, and his confidence in the final victory of the IndoChinese peoples over imperialism:

'A weak nation can defeat a strong one, a small nation can defeat a big one. country can certainly defeat ggression by a big countr f only they dare to risi and erase take heir own and grasp hands the destiny of their country. This is a law of historv.

Threat

There is another law of history also operating in SE Asia- -the drive of imperialism towards world war. Mao- -quite correctly -drew attention to this threat:

'The danger of a new world war still exists, and the people of all countries must get prepared. But revolution is the main trend in the world today?

Mao's firm statement contrasts vividly with the latest utterances of the Soviet bureaucracy, which, apart from a few vague references to 'threats to eace by Nixon, have been lirected at China.

On Monday, 'Pravda' carried a 5,000-word attack on the Chinese CP leadership, the most vicious since the Sino-Soviet border talks began in Peking seven months ago.

China's leaders were accused of great-power hegemonistic ambitions'.

Editorial The unsigned editorial accused the Mao leadership of fostering a war crisis in South East Asia, not Nixon:

•Whenever the international situation deteriorated Ti.e. whenever US imperialism launched a new offensive against the semi-colonial peoples], the Peking leadership tried to aggravate it and push the world towards war which Mao Tse-tung had declared was inevitable.' This is a classic Stalinist slander.

In fact, as his latest statement shows. Mao has warned against the dangers of world war, emphasizing that it can be averted by revolutionary action:

'... but revolution is the main trend in the world today' [not the forces of 'Pravda' charged China's leaders with having 'actually opened a front of struggle against the world socialist Nixon, apparently, is not guilty of such a crime.

Slander

enforced Fore in their be and after the US invasion Cambodia, the Soviet Stalinists are quickly redressing the balance with a renewed slander campaign against the Chinese Communist Party leadership.

Behind this smokescreen of lies, new approaches can be made to Nixon.

In fact, the Soviet bureau• cracy's strategy of peaceful co-existence with imperialism is one of the biggest ingle factors in permitting capitalism to mount a third world war.

Firm working-class action in all the maior imperialist countries is the only effective defence of the workers' states, and the surest way of blocking the imperialist drive towards a third and last- world war.

The proposals are believed to involve a 30 per cent increase output based on thoroughgoing rationalization of the factory.
