ABSTRACT
This chapter begins by giving two examples of the untruths which are often told about Bolshevik Russia. It establishes the analogy that, just as the ancient world connected riches with moral corruption, so to-day the apostles of Bolshevism attack bourgeois civilization by means of pictures of its sexual libertinage. The question of procuring abortion has found a radical solution, and on this point there is a great difference between Bolshevik and Catholic moral principles. The chapter examines that workmen in Bolshevia form a privileged social class. If it be asked who goes to universities, technical schools, polytechnics and other centres of higher education, the answer is that they are thronged by workmen and women, and, what is more, by persons who merit that description, not merely because their parents belonged to the working class, but because they themselves are workpeople in the literal sense of the word.
