About This Item
Edinburgh: National Union of Mineworkers (Scottish Area), 1946. A report by a young British miner who was a part of a delegation of 17 young people invited to tour the Soviet Union in December 1945 by the Soviet Anti-Fascist Youth Committee. Daly writes favorably about his experiences and the potential to learn about the Soviet's nationalized coalmining industry, which he hopes is adopted in Britain. He's also concerned with the deteriorating relationship between Britain and the Soviet Union and hopes to correct the "dangerous campaign of lies and slander" furthering this deterioration. He concludes his report by writing, "If we grasp our opportunity, the young miners of Britain and the rest of British youth will be as capable as the youth of the Soviet Union, or any other country, of creating a new and happy life for the common people" (p. 16).
