COUNTER-ATTACK IN SHEFFIELD Catholic Pamphlets for' Left Book Club-ites

The Left Book Club has followed up its London meetings by a campaign through the Provinces.
It held a great rally in the City Hall, Sheffield, on February 2. From the Catholic point of view this meeting differed in one respect from any of the meetings in the other centres.
As those who attended the meeting were about to enter the City Hall each had a leaflet put courteously into his hand. The title of the leaflet was: " Beware of the Left Book Club " and the gist of its contents was that the Book Club was in the main a Communist organisation.
It concluded in this fashion: " The Communist Party is scheming to seize all power and to set up the Dictatorship of the Proletariat,' fulfilling that programme of an ' all-embracing and blood-soaked reality' (Pravda, September 9, 1928), which is to destroy every form of religion and our entire civilisation."
No Limelight
The leaflet bore the inscription: " Issued by the Pro Deo Commission, Curial Offices, Liverpool, 3." Those who undertook to distribute it on February 2 are members of an organisation that does not seek the limelight.
