THE DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, MONDAY, NO jeandled Thinking ts ‘Unjust To U.S. $.R. U.S, Churchman Says: Muddled thinking and misrepresen- tation by Americans has done injus- tice to the Soviet Union, the Rev. Dr. Edmund A. Walsh, director general of the Papal Relief Mission to Russia, said in a symposium on Russia at the Last luncheon of the Foreign Policy Association here. | The subject was Soviet Russia to- | day and its relations with other'coun- | tries. The ~other speakers: were Stuart Chase, director of the Labor Bureau, Inc., and member of _the | Soviet Union, and James -G.~ Me-| Donald, chairman of the national Ex- | executive board of the association, who made-& study of Russia last Summer. Henry Goddard Leach, editor of The Forum, presided. “The “Collective Plax.” “The Bolshevist revolution of No- | vember, 1917,” said Dr. Walsh; “was } intended by its protagonists to’ initi- ate a fundamental change in the po- litieal, the economic, the so¢i the religious and the intellectual life of all mankind? It was designed to create the ‘collective man,’ the ‘mass man,’ who shall displace foreyer the soul-encumbered individual man. “That is why there is need of clear | thinking on the subject of Russia. Because of the lack of clear thin ing, because of the distorted. presen- tation of the grave international ta problems that arose out of the tre- mendous upheaval, there has been| much loose talking, much misrepre- sentation and serious injustice done by friends and opponents of the pres- | ent Communistie regime.” | Stuart Chase Talks. The “most iteresting © economic experiment in history” is being con- ducted in Russia today, according to Mr. Chase, who went on to outline the methods of the Russian State Planning Commission, known as the Gosplan. The most interesting as- pect of the Gosplan, he said, was| the attempt “to eliminate the wastes and frictions that do such dreadful damage in Western countries.” Mr. McDonald, said the Soviet for- eign policy, was “dominated by the desire to maintain peace.” “As a result of my observations, I either modified or completely changed many of my earlier views,” he added: IRON WORKERS TO ELECT | A report on a conference held with | employers’ representatives will b | given at a meeting of the Iron and!
