We built this [socialistic] society not for the curbing of personal liberty, but in order that human personalities should really feel free.

Many understand state socialism in this way. Sometimes a system is concealed behind this term in which the capitalist state, in the interests of preparation for the conduct of war, takes upon itself the maintenance of a certain number of private enterprises.

According to our constitution, political emigres have the right to reside on our territory. We accord them the right of asylum, the same as the United States accords the right of asylum to political emigres.

If the opposition disarms, well and good. If it refuses to disarm, we shall disarm it ourselves.

Voters decide nothing. Vote counters decide everything!

I believe that the position of the friends of peace is strengthening. The friends of peace are able to work in the open. They base themselves upon the force of public opinion. They have at their disposal such instruments as, for instance, the League of Nations. This is to the advantage of the friends of peace.
