with and 'In the spring of 1934 1 took it into my head to see and compare President Franklin Roosevelt and Mr Stalin. I wanted to form an opinion of just how much these two brains were working in the direction of this socialist world-state that I believe to be the only hopeful destiny for mankind.'
A verbatim transcript of Wells's conversation with Stalin was published in The New Statesman and Nation. It was soon followed by a witty and revealing correspondence in the same periodical.
