	Only at the end of 1935 did Sir Bernard Pares again visit Russia, now the largest unit in a Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. On his return home he wrote a little book on his impressions, and in it he asked: "To what extent was the Government a foreigner to the people?"		Only at the end of 1935 did Sir Bernard Pares again visit Russia, now the largest unit in a Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. On his return home he wrote a little book on his impressions, and in it he asked: "To what extent was the Government a foreigner to the people?"

	This is his answer: "In the times of Tsardom I never failed to feel it’s almost complete isolation. The Ministers of those times, and more especially in the last days of Tsardom, were for the most part obviously haphazard choices from a very narrow and by no means distinguished circle. I was, of course, one of those who longed to see the Russian public, as a whole, make its way into the precincts of government, and in 1917 for a short time I had that satisfaction. But even then there was the much less definable barrier, though a very real one, which separated the Russian intelligentsia from the great mass of the Russian public. ... I have to say that in Moscow today this frontier seems to "have disappeared altogether, and in my visits to public offices and great institutions Government and people were of the same stock" (ibid., p. 35).		This is his answer: "In the times of Tsardom I never failed to feel it’s almost complete isolation.

I have to say that in Moscow today this frontier seems to have disappeared altogether, and in my visits to public offices and great institutions Government and people were of the same stock" (ibid., p. 35).

	The contention of the Webbs, then, that "the U.S.S.R. is a Government instrumented by all the adult inhabitants" is confirmed by the observations of Sir Bernard Pares. Both these authorities agree that the Government of the U.S.S.R. is a Government of the people. Both agree, then, that the Government of the U.S.S.R. contains features which we associate, not with dictatorship, but with democracy.

	It is frequently said that a system of society can be judged by the way in which it looks after its children. The Soviet Union passes an examination on this matter with high honors. But it would probably be just as true to say that a social system can be judged by the way in which it treats its criminals, those who offend against its laws.

	The defense of democracy against Fascism means the extension of existing democratic rights against those limitations imposed by the property relationships in existing society. And every extension of democratic rights for the people brings nearer the time when, faced as the Spanish people are today, with the alternatives of making democracy real or submitting to military dictatorship, the people will be in a position of such unity and organizational strength that they will be able to defend their democracy and make it ever more real, as the people succeeded in doing in Russia some twenty years ago.
