Summary note
A file of memoranda and correspondence concerning British reactions to the developing internationalist presence of Communism. The documents contain the Russia Committee's reaction to a number of events across 1948, including the actions of the Cominform and the position of Stalin -- the evolution of various foreign policy concerns in China, Czechoslovakia and Italy -- the question of what terminology to use in British attacks on Communism -- a reference to the anxieties of the Foreign Secretary regarding the surveillance of Communist activity outside of the Soviet Union -- and the development of anti-Communist propaganda in Britain in response to global Communist expansion. Other documents discuss potential British responses to the Soviet blockade of Berlin -- the development of Communism in China in the aftermath of the Chinese revolution -- Communist activities in Malaya -- and whether potential economic sanctions upon the Soviet Union would be worthwhile.
