...Driberg's Gandhi-like approach, that love will conquer all, is both appalling and dangerous. Sweet, lovable Daddikins Malenkov must be laughing himself silly to read that "the Soviet Union is far more self-sufficient [than Germany] and therefore not intrinsically expansionist . . ." How does our M.P. reconcile this view with the Russian occupation and economic exploitation of the Communist satellite nations...
...Driberg ask himself why so many Fascist leaders could, without changing their essential moral philosophy, move straight from Marxism to Fascism. Mussolini? Doriot? Or make the easy return trip, as so many an ex-Gauleiter-now a people's commissar of East Germany-has done . . .

When one recalls Britain's ardent wooing of Tito, the omission may seem to be less than accidental...
