The working people of the Soviet Union are merely fulfilling their duty in rendering what assistance they can to the revolutionary masses of Spain. They are well aware that the liberation of Spain from the yoke of fascist reactionaries is not a private affair of the Spanish people, but the common cause of all advanced and progressive humanity.

Fraternal greetings!
