...contrary, the most positive approach to world problems. They advocate a constructive program for peace, which would transfer the effort, resources and intelligence now used in preparations for war to a plan for non-violent national defense.

World Jewry has always kept an uneasy eye on Russia's erratic treatment of Jews. Some of the early leaders of Communism (Trotsky, Zinoviev, Kamenev, Litvinoff and Kaganovich) were Jews, but Stalin later made Jewish "cosmopolitanism" a dangerous charge.

But with the fiery pride of the Macedonian mountaineer, he did not like what the Communists were doing to Bulgaria, could see no future ahead for his three sons, and thought of fleeing to Australia or America. As a Macedonian, it was easy enough for him to get a pass to visit his sister in her village across the border in Yugoslav Macedonia, but how would he get out of Communist Yugoslavia into the freedom of Greece? Ivanov decided to make...
Agency Director Allen Dulles: "They will buy anything, trade anything and dump anything if it advances Communism or helps to destroy the influence of the West." Last month, for example, Russia moved heavily into the British aluminum market with lower prices (TIME, April 7). Russia has also sold tin, zinc and soybean products below market prices, is selling trucks, autos and machinery in the Middle East at prices the West cannot match...
