...Uruguay, sitting as the executive committee of the Chaco Peace Conference, had just announced that on the following day at 6 p. m. they would recognize the Colonel's 25-day-old Government. When they read its proclamation they abruptly changed their minds. Like Hitler and like Stalin, dictatorial Franco spoke of his gang as constituting "The Revolution" and announced that it is the State. In 1936 this has become the usual crude variant of Louis XIV's elegant platitude, L'etat c'est moi. Immediately the Peace Conference gave fledgling Dictator Franco a deep nudge...

The Webbs poke mild fun at the Bolshevik fondness for the word "dictatorship,'' think it a misnomer for the Party's "inspiration, evocation...
...indications that Russia is actually a "multiform democracy" they cite the widespread popular discussion of proposed laws. The marriage law of 1927 was thus argued over for a year before adoption; the 'liquidation of the kulaks" for more than two. To the reader's astonished question: Is Stalin, then, not a dictator? the Webbs return a firm No. "The Government of the U.S.S.R. during the past decade has been clearly no better than that of a committee.
