SMAD. An Organ of Student Opinion. 1935. Volume 6. Number 5.

"The Mind Under Capitalism and Communism."

"The Mind Under Capitalism and Communism."

Suggesting that Mr. Falla, in his article in last week's "Smad," had criticised the Russian mind and experiment by a consistent reference to the unrelated background of his own culture and ideals, Mrs. Margaret McPherson, well-known journalist and lecturer, commented in some detail on the writer's outlook. Mrs. McPherson particularised her subject of "Soviet Sidelights" by taking a lead from Mr. Falla's article and speaking on "The Mind Under Capitalism and Communism." Illustrating her comments on the new regime by a series of amusing anecdotes, she pointed out that the virtues accorded to the Russian people by Mr. Falla were a direct result of the progress towards Communism. Such a large aspect of the system, however, could not be covered in detail in the time available, and the lecturer passed on to more incisive comment on the outlook in capitalistic countries as contrasted with that in the U.S.S.R.
