Transcript | SOVIET UNION 41 Discussion Comrade Smith (C.P.G.B.) : When one has visited Russia, and when one comes from an imperialist country like Great Britain, one is bound to make comparisons. I am a member of the delegation which was present at the All Russian Congress, and the Congress has given us a picture— which we have also actually seen—of what comrade Artyukhin said at the beginning of the meeting, a picture which corresponds to the truth. Whether we wished to, or not, we had to draw comparisons with the position of women in our own country. During our visit we have seen that everything is being done to improve the conditions of the workers, and particularly of the women. We see that particular attention is devoted to the health of children and women. We see that the educational system and factory conditions receive particular attention, and we see that in Soviet Russia there is being built the Socialism of which we women workers in England have dreamed so long. Looking at Soviet Russia, our thoughts go back to the European war. Women are specially interested in the question of war. We think of the ten million who died, of the promises made by our Government that after the war we would get homes fit to live in, that we would get the protection of which we workers dreamed so long. Ten million dead, and thousands of men in every country of the world vegetating in lunatic asylums or hospitals. That is what the workers got from the war. D |
