Kroysing had discovered some fellow-non-coms were selling army rations instead of distributing them to their hungry men; he had been so foolish as to write an influential uncle about it. Of course his letter was stopped by the censor, and he was threatened with court martial.

...Stalin. "Maybe they said something of that nature-but the Soviet people did not found the American Communist Party. The American Communist Party was created by Americans." By this weasel, Steel could be said to have won the match from Brass, but it was soon evident that, for all Censor Umansky's care, Publisher Howard had got deeply under Soviet skins...
