An examination of the book, "Solution in Asia," written by the sub— geet and published by the LITTLE, BROYN and COMPANY in 1945, reveals on Page 139 that the full quotation is as follows: "To all these peoples (meaning the Chinese, Koreans and Mongolians), the Russians and the Soviet Union have a great power of attraction. In their eyes — rather doubtfuliy in the eyes of tho older generation, more and more ’ clearly in the eyes of the younger ganeration —4 the Soviet Union stands for. strategic security, economic prosperity, technological progress, miraculous medicine, free education, aquality of opportunity and democracy: a powerful coubination.\ "Tho fact that the Soviet Union also stands for democracy is not to be overlookad. It stands for democracy oscause it stands for all the cthar things...... The fact is that for most people in the world today, what constitutes democracy in theory is more or less irrelevant. ‘hat mows people to act to try to lina up with one party or country and not with another is the difference between what is more demcouracy and less demeracy in practice."
