Introduction to the Translation
by Charles Boyer S.J.
p. X: "If there had been, as the Papal Encyclicals urged,
the slightest attempt to satisfy the legitimate
aspirations of the working classes -- aspirations
which, be it noted, Communism cannot satisfy but
which it exploits to the full for propaganda pur-
poses, -- there would be no Communism today.'
