Peck says BR's speeches in the Low Countries have "stirred up a hornet's nest in Moscow".

Attached are copies of "Soviet criticisms" of some of BR's lectures. Marked is "A Philosopher Bomb-Thrower", from Trud, 18 Oct. 1947, on BR's speeches in Holland and Belgium.

Mention is made that BR made "friendly, if somewhat vague, speeches" while in the USSR in 1920; from Literary Gazette, no. 47 (1947), "Bertrand s'en va-t-en guerre" by B. Bykhovsky—an extended diatribe quoting from various writings and from Izvestiya, 9 Oct. 1947, "The 'Philosophy' and Practices of Warmongers", with quotes from BR's Brussels speech on 3 October 1947, "The Idea of a Universal Government in the Perspective of Our Time".
