...line had changed again and Lombardo was shifting with it (as U.S. Communists would shift if the line changed from the Foster class-struggle position back to Earl Browder's let's-seem-to-go-along tactics).

An economy-minded Republican Capitol Hill can be expected to cut to ribbons any such grant, especially since it is foreseen that some of the nations will have to receive outright gifts...
