A Letter To Stalin

.A remarkable document has been forivﬂfded l0

yosef Stalin, Soviet dictator, through the boviet embassy in London. It is signed by leadillg members of the British Independent Labour party. and it bluntly tells _i\lr. btahn what they think of the yiresciit political tendencies in the land of Communism. The signiﬁcance of the message lies iii the fact that the signatories arc all men more or less openly favorable to Coin- iiiunisi doctrines, and tiiat it denounces the trea- son trials now going on iii Russia as "an out- rageous travesty on lllt‘ most elementary human rights and a bcstial crime against the most Iilil- dainciital 1l(l\'(.llL‘('s' towards social decency regis- tered b_\' iitziiikintl."

Tflic lctlcr is calculated to place Stalin on the llurtls of a dilemma. lt zirgues that cithci" the M" éllSiilltillﬁ zigziiiist tllc co-svorkcrs of Letiin tire false. or "wc would lii- compelled to conclude that there wais something inherently wrong iii the Ilussian revolution to attract such degenerate types 'tu the top of the ladder of leadership.”

Thr- lcttcr goes on i0 say that Stalin Cannot possibly realize how much harm he is doing the ideals of socialism, "The most bitter foes of the Soviet system,” it says, "could never have done as much to sliake_ the faiili of class-conscious workcrs and to caust- doubi and deiiioralization iii their ranks. You are cointiiittiiigagrave error if you think that this savage terror strengthens the international position of the U.S.S.R. against the threat of attack of the ,t'acist and imperialist powers; On the contrary, the position of the U.S.S.R. is being disastrously weakened. kVe know that in Britain the trials and executions, the ﬁring squads, and ‘suicides’ 113w: served only to paralyze working class opinion on behalf of the U-S-S-R. and to strengthen immeasurably the hands of the Cliamberlains and l-lalifaxes in their moves to isolate the Soviet Union.”

Fortunately for tlicse I. L. P. officials, they are living in a country where they can freely de-

nounce “thc Chainberlains and Halifaxes”,-—-

even from their seats in Parliament. The con-

"trast between British freedom and Soviet tyr-

anny must: beyery painful to them. It would probably be still more painful if they were with- in reach of Mr. Staliirs long ar . -

meant. The difficulty is sometimes overwmﬂ , . . . , by referring to the “senior” and “Junior” mem- ber. but this does riot always work. This awkward feature has ﬁgured prominently in the Finii~ Isnor feud.‘ The former is generally referred to as the “senior ’ member, but both men came into

the House in the 1935 election, so there is really no question of seniority between them, except that Mr. Finn is the older of the two. Mr. Isnor boasted, in the heat of the argument, that he poll- ed 84o more votes than did Mf- Finn. b“! the latter rctorted, "Where did you get them P" Per~

relieved of liability from any taxes ' lsvied by Dominion and provincial governments. No add- tional services to be imposed on the city without means of ﬁnancing them.
