The authors note states:

“THE stubborn struggle of the Russian people against the Nazi barbarism has filled the world with admiration for their heroism. No one concedes this heroism more readily than the author; no one is more convinced that as long as Russia is our ally in the common struggle she should be given all the material aid her Allies find it possible to supply.

But Russia's successes in the military field, springing from the deep-seated patriotism of the Russian people, which religious, economic and political fallacies alike are impotent to destroy, have led many to believe that it would be well for the people of this country if we were to substitute Communism for Democracy and revolutionise our way of life on the Russian pattern. Never was there a greater fallacy.

The system of Government under which we live, whatever its faults and they are many is the freest and fairest in the world; the British Commonwealth of Nations is an experiment in self- government unique in history, offering to the peoples of the Empire a greater degree of happiness and security than any other system known to man.

Our laws are fairer, our respect for individual rights more liberal than that of any other country. Most of us know the Democratic system and its way of working from experience-few are acquainted with the Communist.

It is to be hoped that this small pamphlet will enlighten some among the latter who have grown eager to overthrow a system which they understand in favour of one with which they are totally unacquainted.

We welcome Soviet aid in the struggle against Nazism and will readily give the fullest aid to Russia in return. But we will ex- change our traditions and our way of life for none other in the world, and concede to no man, or group of men, the claim that Communism offers more to mankind than Democracy. The very reverse is true, as the facts set forth in this small pamphlet amply demonstrate.

It only remains to be added that all the information contained in this booklet is taken from publications circulating in public libraries throughout the country, and can be verified without the slightest difficulty by anyone who contests its accuracy.
