The Soviet Union and the United Nations: An Essay in Interpretation

In the present climate of opinion it is customary to view the attitudes and actions of the USSR in the United Nations — as elsewhere — as dictated only by malice and evil.Since the gravest issues of peace and war may hinge upon the assessment which is made of the Soviet attitude, it is essential to seek an understanding of the ideas and forces which have shaped it. We have, therefore, attempted in the first place to assess the Soviet position as Moscow may see it, in some instances deliberately giving the benefit of the doubt, where doubt plausibly enters in, to the Soviet side; but the elements of explanation which have inevitably intruded themselves reflect the western frame of reference. The word “may” is in italic since this is necessarily an essay in interpretation; Soviet pronouncements obviously cover only part of the story and have their strong propaganda implications and limitations.

The Dominion of Ceylon

THE decision of the Soviet Union in December I948 to veto Ceylon's application for membership in the United Nations appears to spring from the fact that, superficially at least, the conversion of a colony into an independent state by peaceful means is inconsistent with MarxLeninism. Lenin in his pamphlet on Imperialism used the material produced by J. A. Hobson in his book of the same name to demonstrate that imperialism was an aspect of and indeed a development of capitalism. To be specific, British capitalism controlled Ceylon as a source of cheap food and raw materials and as a market for manufactured goods. It would not and could not surrender that control because any such surrender would tend to destroy capitalism itself. If it appeared to surrender, that was a mere tactical step designed to make its control more effective and to stave off the revolt of the masses, which must of course come as inevitably in Ceylon as in Britain and the United States. There was no change of substance, but the white capitalists entered into league with the brown capitalists to continue the oppression of the masses. Indirect rule through the brown capitalists was substituted for direct rule by the white capitalists, and the so-called independence was a fake. This thesis was supported by specific references to the Ceylon Constitution, which in these respects does not differ from those of the other Dominions, and to the agreements with the United Kingdom, which vary from the relations between that country and the other Dominions only slightly. Attention was drawn to the formal powers of the Governor-General (which are in fact the same as those of the GovernorGeneral of Canada), to the use by Ceylon of the diplomatic machinery of the United Kingdom wherever it does not choose to establish its own (a practice followed by all of the Dominions), and to the agreements for the defence of the Island (which differ slightly from the arrangements in operation in the other Dominions, partly because they were put into agreements, and partly because Ceylon is strategically in a weak position). No doubt there were also tactical reasons for the Soviet attitude.

Trends in the Soviet Treatment of Crime

IN I936, the Soviet Government promised a new All-Union criminal code to replace the individual codes existing in each of the seven Republics which made up the Union at that time. As yet there has been no new code enacted, but there has been published a considerable number of articles revealing the outline of the code to come. Writers have not limited themselves to a discussion of technical details. They have reexamined basic theories set forth twenty years ago when the first statement of policy relating to criminal law was adopted.' Among the subjects most vigorously discussed is the treatment of criminals, and it is the purpose of this paper to review some of that discussion, together with the statistics indicating trends in the treatment of crime in the U.S.S.R. To provide the base from which the trend may be surveyed, one must recall the Soviet attitude toward crime, as first expressed over twenty years ago by theorists occupied in formulating the principles under which a new state was to be governed. Men of this period often declared that criminals were made-not born. They derided those who believed that there was a criminal type, and they documented their own point of view by emphasizing that criminals came most often from the economically depressed classes. The conclusion was drawn that most crime is the product of want and misery. Property crimes were looked upon as a manifestation of the desire for self-preservation, while crimes of violence were diagnosed as a form of protest against a system which called forth the hatred of the desperate poor. In the light of such an analysis, Soviet leaders considered that their fight against crime would be well on its way to victory as soon as their economic system became established and proved successful, for they believed their economic system designed to eliminate poverty and suffering. One must remember that Bolsheviks have tinged their idealism with realism, and even the early ones realized that habit patterns are not changed in a day. Soviet sociologists argued that criminal habits, developed under the stress of one form of society, may be carried on into a new form of society even when the economic reasons which gave them rise no longer exist. Elimination of criminal habits and manners of thought was the task of the new Soviet criminologist, and his major tool was to be education. The impoverished criminal elements were to be taught that everyone could and should support himself by work which was to be ample for all.

Outer Mongolia on the World Stage

Mongolian People's Republic into a prominence singularly out of proportion either to the population or the economy of this remote region. The Importance course of internal development whereMainly by the old social and economic patterns Strategic of the country are being transformed has no doubt considerable import for other Asiatic lands, particularly for the Mongols in Manchoukuo and Inner Mongolia. But for the most part it is preeminently strategic considerations which have made Outer Mongolia a household word in circles where world politics are discussed. In this distant landlocked corner of the globe have clashed all the instruments of modern warfare. The position of Outer Mongolia?bordered on the north by the U.S.S.R. and on the east by Manchoukuo ?has inevitably brought the country into the orbit of Soviet-Japanese friction. Should a large-scale war materialize, Mongolia lies in the path of any flanking movements. Already the frontier incidents which have characterized Soviet-Japanese relations since 1932 have several times shifted from the Soviet-Manchoukuo border to the boundary between Manchoukuo and Outer Mongolia. In 1935 Japan and Manchoukuo made an unsuccessful attempt to open up the region. In 1936 there was sporadic border fighting on the Mongol frontier for several months?even after the publication of the Mutual Assistance Pact between the U.S.S.R. and the Mongolian People's Republic had re? moved all ambiguity regarding the Soviet position. In the battles this summer Soviet forces fought side by si e with the Mongols as they had fought eighteen years earlier against Baron Ungern von Stemberg, the white Russian who had seized Outer Mongolia and with Japanese support was launching an attack upon Siberia. What has been the course of development of Outer Mongolia since the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party established a government in 1921 ? What are the resources of the country? What is its economic life? What market does it offer? What is its military strength? Information is lacking on some of the questions which arise concerning the Mongols; but enough is known to give perspective to the recent battles which have brought mechanized warfare to the borders of a pastoral people. The territory of the Republic is almost sufficiently large?about 580,000 square miles?to embrace the combined areas of Great Britain, France, Germany and Italy. Lightly scattered over this expanse are
