"MissiontoMoscow?" andtheillythsofthe20thCentury

*Thereisnomoraldistinctionbetween NaziandSovietaggressions

CommentingonAmbassadorDavie"MissiontoMoscow,"theLondon "CatholicHerald"makesthefollowingeditorialobservations.Thetitle, MOSCOWANDOTHERMYTHS,remindsusthatthereareOTHER myths....

Thereisonewhollyandabsolutely goodresultofthealliancebetweenRussiaandtheUnitedNations:itisthe readinessonthepartofthelatterto studytheSovietexperimentw'thsy.npathyandgenuineinterest.

Lookingback,onemustconfessthat Christiansgenerallydidnotaidthe causeofpeacewhentheyinterpreted thecondemnationofBolshevismasa leadforrefusingtohaveanysort contactwithRussiaandforthinking theworstoftheCommunistsinevery sphereoflife.

"MiniontoMoscow."

Weoweit,nodoubt,tothechanged conditionsthatthepublicationofAm bassadorDavies'"MissiontoMoscow" (Gollancz,15s.)becamepossible.In thisbooktheAmericanAmbassador totheSovietUnionfrom1936toNB makespublictheofficialpaperssod journalswhichhewroteduringhis Nodoubteverythingisnct here,butthereisnoreasontosuppose thattheprincipleofselectionhas beentheglorificationoftheSoviet Union.Onegetsaverystrongimpressionofobjectivity,ifonlybecause theresultingpictureremainsstrongly critical.

ItisthepictureofaruthlessdictatorState,pitilesslypolicedbythe Gay-Pay-Oounderconditionsofpoliticalterror,riddledapparentlywith FifthColumnism,suppressedtothe lastmanmercilesslyandbyjudical methodsutterlyrepugnanttothe Christiantradition.Itisthepicture ofagreatrevolutionaryexperiment graduallyadaptingitselftotheweaknessesoftheordinaryhumanbeing, sothatmotivesofcompetition,reward,enrichment(withtheconsequentstratificationintoclasses),nationalism,cometoplayapartnotobviouslylessthanelsewhere.Butitisalso thepictureofanimmenseeconomic experiment,onthebasisoftheuntold naturalwealthofthecountry,inraisingthestandardofachievementand lifeaccordingtoacceptedcontemporaryvalues-anexperimentwhich,at itsbest,doesnotcompareinefficiency withthegreatcapitalistcountries, butwhichneverthelessmarksatremendousadvanceforRussiaitself.And itisthepictureofagreatnation,grow-

ingmoreandmoreconsciousofits owntraditions,realisingthealmost ubiquitousthreattopeaceinEurope, creatingimmenseforcesforitsown protection,desirousofpeace,atany rate,forthetimebeing,andprepared touseanymeansinordertodefend itsinterests.

WhatismissingfromAmbassador Davies'recordistheevidenceinsupportoftheviewthattheSoviet's mainpurposewastospreadrevolution andcorruptionacrosstheworld,to driveothercountriesintoawarupon theruinsofwhichRussiacouldgrow all-powerful;theevidencethatthe Russianpeoplethemselveswereliving inconditionsoflicence,anarchy,miseryandyetatthesametimeseeking forthatCommunistutopiaofabsolute equalityoftheWesternrevolutionary's dream:theevidence,inaword,that tieSoviet,whiledesperatelymakinga hidforrevolutionarydomination,was itselffallingtopiecesthroughitsown immoralityandconsequentinefficiency.

RelationsWithRussia.

Inotherwords,AmbassadorDavies confirmstheviewthatcommonsense andanordinaryunderstandingofunchanginghumannature,workingupon suchevidenceaswasgenerallyavailable,shouldhavemadecurrent.The storiesofsinisterinternationalmoves andoffar-fetchedconspiraciesshould havebeendiscountedoratleastdismissedasearlyideasthatwouldgraduallybeemasculatedthroughRussia's ownneedtosurviveandadaptherself totherealworld.Ontheotherhand theequallyfancifulhopesofthosewho triedtoseeintheCommunistexperimentthecreationofaparadiseon earthshouldhavebeenshatteredbya similarrealismandtheinescapableevidenceofalltheuglyparaphernaliaof themodernpoliceState.

Andonthebasisofamoderateand reasonablyaccuratepictureofthedevelopingSovietitshouldhavebeen possibletobuilduprelationsbetween RussiaandtheWestwhichwould havehelpedtomaintainthepeace,to helptheSovietitselftoriseaboveits origins,and,nodoubt,tolearnsomethingfromitsownboldexperiments inthesocialandeconomicfield.Such commonsenserealismdoesnotfora momentinvolveanymoralcompromiseoracquiescenceintheuglysides oftheregime,noranyweakeningin thecondemnationoftheimmoralityof thephilosophyunderlyingit.Onthe contrary,insteadofcreatinganimpassablegulf,itprovidesmanyopportunitiesforhelpfulandconstructivein-

TheAgeofMyths.

Butwhatwearelearninginthecase ofRussia(whoisnowanally)must belikewiselearntinthecaseofall countries.Itmustbelearntbyus anditmustbelearntbyourenemies, ifsanityisevertoberestoredtothe world.

AtthemomenttheBolshevikmyth isbeingassiduouslyfosteredacrossthe faceofEurope.Withitgoesthe myththatthedemocraciesarebreedinggroundsforBolshevism,corrupt,inefficient,immoral,inarapidstateof decay.Allthis,weknow,isthe sheerestnonsense,artificiallydisseminatedforevilpurposes.Itisthegrossestexaggerationofourweakersides.
