EINSTEIN’S DEFENCE
1 ALLEGED VICTIM OF COMMUNISTIC DESPOTISM. i United Tress Association—By Electrio I ©legra pfi—Copyrigh t ) (Receied this day at 8.35 a.m.) LONDON, September 17. Professor Einstein, in a letter to the newspapers says:. “Like other intellectuals, who feel it their duty to serve the cause of human progress, I have been the victim of a misunderstanding of the true objects of a certain organisation, which really is only camouflaged propaganda in the service of Russian despotism. “In the ignorance of its true purpose I allowed the workers of international and anti-war movements to use my I name, but I never favoured Commun- | ism. _ !
“My opinion is that .any power must be the enemy cf mankind which enslaves the individual by terror, whether under the Fascist or Communist flag. All that is valuabe to human society depends upon the opportunity of development accorded the individual.’’
