Have Much To Do To Preserve Way Of Life Rotarians Told "We all have very much to wig to preserve our way of life" was! the warning issued py a man arid spent several years in a Soviet | rison and who addressed the Whitby Rotary Club on Interna- tional Night, Friday. The speaker | was Dr. B. T. Dale, now of Guelph, | but former personal physician tol the president of Poland and later| a victim of Soviet police. Dr. Dale gave a very stirring address on | the. situation and life in Russia] behind the iron curtain and closed his remarks with a warning to| Canadians and North Americans' to be wary lest they lose their | freedom and way of life. Dr. Dale, speaking excellent] English with .a noticeable Polish | accent, opened his address by ex-| plaining the methods that have been used by Communists to gain entry and later seize control of the '14 countries now under the Soviet heel without firing a shot. He explained the beginning of the movement, how the prisons are opened and releasing convicts who are told that they have been im- prisoned because could not give them Later these same murderers and other convicts are appointed to places of authority as the Com- munist movement gains momen- tum.

He stated that follow- ing his arrest he was tossed into] a cell big enough for one prison- er but which he had to share with| 14 others. Then, he said, began] the process of wringing a confes-| sion. He explained the method in| considerable detail telling of cdn-| stant questioning for hours, for| days and for weeks. The prisoner, he said, is asked if he will make a confession. "We have all the proof," the inquisitor points out and urges that the pris- | Dale observed that a ratonal pris- oner would of course object to loyalty of the citizens to|such a confession. Whereupon, he| i continued, he is told that there is| |. plenty of time. "If you do not con- fess today, we will come again in a month." | In a month they return, the | prisoner still refuses to confess to being a spy. "We will come | again in a year," they say and | leave. A month passes, a second month passes and the prisoner { has had plenty of time to think. | He finds that it is impossible for him to hang himself and has by now concluded that he should not | be alive. If he confesses, he may i get eight years and may be mov- ed to another prison and may then get a chance to escape. He | calls for the prosecutor and of- fers a confession. WITH REGRET | The confessed spy is then sup- plied with a statement in which he | regrets being a spy, has behaved like a dog and begs Father Stalin | to punish him and allow him later to work for the party. "He may then get seven years, life, or get shot," said Dr. Dale. "I got seven | years." | In 'Russia now, he continued, there are 20,000,000 countrymen in prison. They disappear from the streets every night, some for hav- ing opened their mouths recently, ! said Dr. Dale, and some who open- |ed their mouths years ago. He | stated that there are two reasons | for this great number of prisoners. {In one instance, he stated, they | provided a great source of cheap | labour, and, he continued, that { 20,000,000 prisoners represented | about one person from every fam- |ily in Russia, a constant reminder to be faithful to the party. He then told of a friend of his, | a doctor's wife, who was impris-| oned in Russia with her little girl. He stated that she was sent to | Siberia to work on the railway but found that she was unable to work.. She was then refused food and eventually reached the point where it was impossible for her to work. She was then accused of he Ing a saboteur and imprisoned in |a cell with her daughter. The little girl, he continued, could not endure the rigors of the prison and died. But, he explained, the Russian mind is sa that the little girl's body was not removed from {the cell for three days as a re | minder to the mother of the fate of saboteurs. 'They know no bet ter," he stated. MALENKOV WORSE Dr. Dale then turned to the Rus- sian situation today and Malen kov Ss peace promises. He recalled that in 1925 Malenkov had been in | sole charge of the changeover of farms from their previous state to that of collective farms.
