PROFESSOR MISLED.
EXPLANATION BY DR. EINSTEIN
COMMUNISM .NOT FAVOURED,
Received SeptembcV 18, 8.35 a.m. LONDON, Sept. 17. Professor Albert Einstein, in a letter to the newspapers, says: “Like other intellectuals who feci it their duty to serve the cause of human progress, I have been the victim of a misunderstanding of the true objects of certain organisations which have really only camouflaged propaganda in the service of Russian despotism.
“In ingnorance of their true purpose, I allowed the Workers’ International and the Anti-War. movement to use my name, but I never favoured Communism. My opinion is that liny power must be the enemy of mankind which enslaves the individual by terror, whether under the Fascist or Communist flag. All that is valuable to human society depends upon the opportunity for development accorded the individual,” lie added.
