Book Description

An eye-witness of exceptional value of all the events of the, Russian Revolution is Robert Wilton, the Russian correspondent of The Times for seventeen years. Born in England but educated in Russia, he knew Russia like a Russian. During the war, thi~ correspondent of The Times, on one occasion in 1916, took com": mand of a section of the Russian army, of which the officers had been wounded, and behaved with such gallantry that he was decorated with the Cross of St. George. It was the first time that this exclusively military distinction had been conferred upon a civilian. In the Foreword to his French book, Les Derniers Jours des, Romanof, from which I am about to quote, Robert Wilton says, that in order to ensure the accuracy of the work, he himself translated from Russian into French the official reports and original documents confirming his narrative. "I have done all in my. power," he adds, "to act as an impartial chronicler." The list of names of the Rulers of Russia in 1918, which I am about to quote, is taken from pages 136-137 of this painstaking French study of the Russian Bolshevik Revolution. It is a noteworthy fact that this list is not to be found in the English edition of the same work," The Last Days of the Romanovs, published in September, 1920; by Thornton Butterworth.Pope Pius XI wrote as follows in the Encyclical Letter, Divini Redemptoris: "For them (the peoples of the Soviet Union) We cherish the wannest paternal affection. We are well aware that not a few of them groan beneath the yoke imposed on them by men who in very large part are strangers to the real interests of the country. We recognise that many others were deceived by fallacious hopes. We blame only the system with its authors and abettors who considered Russia the best field for experimenting with a plan elaborated years ago, and who from there continue to spread it from one end of the world to the other." In this pamphlet, I have outlined some of the historical evidence which goes to prove that those "strangers to the real interests of Russia," who are experimenting with this Marxian plan elaborated years ago, are members of the Jewish nation, and that Communism is the latest and, up to the present, the most decadent materialistic phase of the opposition of that nation to the Supernatural Messias."A statement made by Stalin, at a session of the Third International or Comintem in Moscow, in May, 1938, makes this manifest. "The revival of revolutionary action on any scale sufficiently Vast," said the Muscovite figure-head, "will not be possible unless we succeed in utilising the existing disagreements between the capitalistic Countries, so us to precipitate them against each other into armed conflict. The doctrine of Marx-Engels-Lenin teaches us that all war truly generalised should terminate automatically by revolution. The essential work of our party comrades in foreign countries coflicts, then, in facilitating the provocation of such a conflict. Those who do not comprehend this know nothing of revolutionary Marxism. I hope that you will remind the comrades, those of you who direct the work. The decisive hour will arrive."In the splendid Encyclical Letter On the Condition of the Church in German., (March 14th, 1937), Pope Pius XI said that "the first and obvious duty the priest owes to the world about him is service to the truth, the whole truth, the unmasking and refutation of error in whatever form or disguise it conceals itself."
