Attlee On “Russian Fanaticism”
(Rec. 9 pm.) COPENHAGEN, June 6. Mr Clement Attlee, the British Labour leader, said today that the one thing needed for world peace was that Russia should “denounce her fanatical belief that it is her task to enforce throughout the world her Communist creed.”
Mr Attlee, addressing a Constitution Day rally of Denmark’s ruling Social Democrat Party, said that ‘ r ßussian Communist imperialism" sought to impose its. will on the world and “joins to the old imperialism tof conquest of territory the new ideological imperialism which seeks an empire over the minds of men and women.” This was a creed utterly different from the free socialism in which Western socialists were reared. “Until there is a change of heart in the. rulers of Russia we of the free peoples must see that we are strong enough to deter aggression,” said Mr Attlee.
