Description
London: Friends House, 1950. — 8 p.First, the need in confronting Communism to place first the obligation to make a reality of our own Christian and democratic professions, responding, that is, to the Communist challenge not by a critical and defensive reaction but by a positive resolve to become better Christians and better democrats. Secondly, the obligation, while fearlessly rejecting what we deem to be wrong or misguided in the policies and practices of the Soviet Union, to recognise what is good in its aspirations and achievements and, in particular, the solid progress which has been made, despite an exacting war, towards the economic and social betterment of the mass of the people. Thirdly, the need in assessing the actions and omissions of the Soviet Government to avoid self-righteousness and, above all, the expression in ourselves of the temper and practices we deplore and oppose in them.
