LORD RUSSELL'S BOOK ENTITLED THE SCOURGE OF THE SWASTIKA,

DR. OSCAR C. PFAUS

Among the world's greatest philosophers, Lord Russell's contributions to human thought have already proved of immense importance and influence. He stands in the direct line of classical and political philosophy, with the noblest minds of the past. It is probably true that he will go down into history as the greatest British philosopher of the first half of the twentieth century. An Arden pacifist of the First and Second World Wars, he is particularly notable for his energetic pursuit of peace and order.

 

THE SCOURGE OF THE SWASTIKA,

 

AS true recording of the dreadful actions which resulted in the most important part of all efforts purposed to prevent a brutal injustice and slaughters of the Second World War is repetition of the barbaric era, it is necessary that such recording will be read by all who pray for the final establishment of a lasting, and of a decent and just order of things in our much abused world.

True historical recording is the most noble expression of the just human desire for the freedom of mind and for the freedom of the press, and where such freedom reigns there is true civilization and culture, and the encouraging hope that we may, after all, and despite the actions of the enemies of human rights, arrive at the goal of the better world.

IN his memorable work "The Scourge of the Swastika" the great champion of justice and of unbiased historical recording, Lord Russell of Liverpool, gave us an account which may well be regarded and valued as the most competent, and most outstanding literary contribution to the cause of world peace, justice, racial equality, and human understanding.

The touching text of Lord Russell's work cannot be outlined. Such humble effort would do no justice to the labour of this truly great and noble man who wrote his book because he loved the most defenceless of his fellow men, and who could not bear the thought that the many millions of innocent victims of a catastrophical drive for total supremacy should have died in vain.
