The file contains several reports written by Paul Anderson, regading the dictatorship in the Soviet Union. In his report he is discussing and explaining several topics like forced Labour camps where an estimated number between 20 to 30 million people have interned just till 1945. As the Nazis and other totalitarian regimes succeeded in maintaining a highly effective rule of terror with far smaller number of prisiners and concentration camps. Therefore Anderson asks for the real motives of the Soviet rulers for the vast forced labour system and maintaining and perpetuating this form of slavery. Anderson argues that a more satisfactory explanation would be that the Soviet Union needed so many workers to create the physical foundation for the industrialisation of the country. On the other hand the deathrate of prisiners during the stages of interrogation, transportation and finally exportation is ludicrously high and that the physical condition of the survivors were such that their"task fulfilme" could not possible compare with that of the least skilled labourer under a free economy. An other topic he has been discussed is the Baltic states under soviet rules. The Soviet occupation policy was from the beginning killing or deporting thousands of people in the Baltic states. Between 1945-1946 just in Lithuania 2000-3000 people were arrested per month. Forthermore a testimoney of a major from the Soviet Union is attached. Besides a file, where Anderson writes about the growing list of famous, honoured, reverend and idolised Communist leaders who were 'tried', found 'guilty' and executed as 'traitors', can be seen. This time it was Dr. Vladimir Clementis who got executed, Anderson wonder s 'who will be next and who will be spared'?
