•“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.”
