MR BERNARD SHAW
HIS RUSSIAN VISIT “A GOOD CRANK" Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. , LONDON, August 3. Mr Shaw on his return from Russia said that M. Stalin was a man of great ability; far abler than those who were running capitalism. He disagreed decisively with Mr H. G. .Wells’s recently expressed view that the Five-year Plan would fail. The idea that it was going to break down now after what it had gone through was simply foolish. In all the prophesies about Russia’s failure the wish was father to tho thought. Russia was all right. “It is wo who are all wrong.” The ‘ Morning Post ’ says : “Mr Shaw makes a practice of cultivating the unexpected. Ho is a good crank. It will be’ an irreparable loss to England if ho goes to live in Russia, but it will not bo an unqualified gain to M. Stalin.”
