註釋Catlin was an unsuccessful Labour Party candidate in two general elections: 1931 in Brentford and Chiswick, and 1935 in Sunderland. From 1935 to 1937 he served on the executive committee of the Fabian Society. During the 1930s Catlin traveled extensively. He visited Germany where he witnessed the 1933 Dimitrov trial on the Reichstag fire, a forewarning of what Nazism was to become. He went to Russia for a prolonged examination of the newly established Communist regime there and to Spain during the height of the Civil War. During this period Catlin wrote a large number of articles as a journalist, mostly for the Yorkshire Post. He served on the campaign team of Presidential candidate Wendell Wilkie during 1940 and his subsequent book, One Anglo-American Nation appeared in 1941. He was an early advocate of Indian independence after meeting Mahatma Gandhi in 1931 in London. He visited India in 1946 and 1947 and published his tribute to Gandhi after his assassination with In the Path of Mahatma Gandhi (1948). He lectured in Peking in 1947. He served as Provost of Mar Ivanios College in India for 1953-54 and as Chairman and Bronfman Professor in the Department of Economics and Political Science at McGill University between 1956 and 1960. He was a founder of the Movement for Atlantic Union, which was established in 1958. He drafted the constitution of the Paris based Atlantic Institute, founded in 1961. He was also a member of the Pilgrims Club of Great Britain. His autobiography, on which he had worked sporadically since the end of the First World War, was finally published in 1972 as For God's Sake Go!"--from Wikiped.
