Scope and content
Typed script of lecture given by Owen Sheehy- Skeffington on Radio Eireann, titled ‘World Affairs’. Says Communism has become a bogey and the lack of real knowledge about it is widespread. It is a political philosophy based on the materialist concept of history. Stalin’s Communism has departed in many ways from original concepts. Hunger is the fundamental cause of the revolt of the Asians against economic domination by the European Powers. Asks if the West and Communists work together for peace?
