Notes and topics

Creasey asked BR whether he should accept the publisher's suggestions for his new book The Evil that Men Do, but BR says that only Creasey alone can make that decision.

Re Communism: "I should like to make my views on Communism completely clear. I dislike Communism as an economic system and I have a low opinion of Marx. Both these things I expressed in the book on Bolshevism which I published in 1920.... Communism like other -isms varies according to the people who are carrying it out. At the present time, I think that Russia has a more wholesome outlook on world politics than the U.S., but this view might change tomorrow and is totally independent of the relative merits of Communism and Capitalism in the abstract."
