•“On Friday, I had
exceptionally interesting talks … with Prof. Jules Menken (LSE) a very well known economist. He was appalled with the
prospects: what he
had seen was the complete failure of Marxism. He dreaded this winter, when he thought millions
would die of
hunger.
•He had never seen such
bungling & such breakdowns.
What struck him was the unfairness & the inequality. He had seen hungry people one moment & the next moment he had lunched
with Soviet
Commissars in the Kremlin with the best caviar, fish, game & the most luxurious wines.”
