Nth his second visit to The Soviet Union after a break of ten years, Sir Walter Citrine has not been con- cerned with propagandu. Ile went to Russia to see what was to be seen; he went as a seeker for the trutia.

Day by day he recorded in a note book (Citrine 1s A shorthand writer) things he saw; facts that were given to him by witnesses, sometimes after examination or even cross-examination, and the principal points of conversation he had with all kinds of people during his long journey.

He read through masses of de- erees, annual reports and statis- teal returns. He came to conclu- sions and recorded them in his dhary, and here, in this book, the "dlary is printed."

The mind of Sir Walter Citrine is one of the most honest analy- tical and objective minds in the British Labour Movement.

That is why he is so hated by the Communists. For the man who will not cringe to them is black-sted and made the subject of abusive attack and interruption at publie meetings.

the makes generous allowance for the great difference between Rus- sla and Britain, but perhaps, not quite enough for the differing cronomic, political and social con- ditions, and for the very different customs and racial or national traditions.

The Bolshevik lack of under- standing of these differences is in- finitely more serious; they hardly understand them at all,

Yet the real approach is on the bands that these differences are real, that they are golag to last for a long time, maybe for cen- turies.

And, after all, these differences + national temperament anek Fradition are not without their eharm. They go to make up the interest of this varied world.
