...Bombshell Sirs: The Nazi-Communist non-aggression pact [TIME, Aug. 28] did not surprise me. It was not "startling," it was no "bombshell." The reason: TIME has several times in months gone by suggested the possibility of Hitler's coming to terms with Stalin. Chamberlain should read TIME. He would not be so easily shocked. . . . CHESTER WARREN QUIMBY Saxton...
Soviet diplomacy, as demonstrated at the pact negotiations in Moscow, is today the smartest in the world. By one master stroke, Stalin became lord of Europe. Whether through mistake or necessity, Hitler entrusted the destiny of the Reich to the care of the Secretary of the Communist Party, who, with some of the neatest footwork on record, simultaneously avoided becoming a war tool of the British; usurped Hitler's dominance of Central Europe; partly destroyed his Axis (by Muniching the Japanese...
...holiday. Cafes along Kurfurstendamm overflowed. It was good sport to salute friends with "Heil Stalin," and when some young blades rang the doorbell of the Soviet Embassy, shouted "Heil Moscow" and ran away, that was very funny too.

Said Eleanor Roosevelt: "Peace may be bought today at too high a cost in the future." The Communist press made itself silly trying to explain what Russia...
Three months ago the Communist New Masses gleefully revealed that one Walter G. Krivitzky, exiled Russian general who was publishing a series of articles in the Saturday Evening Post, was really one Shmelka Ginsberg (TIME, May 22). In April General Krivitzky had claimed that Stalin was trying to team up with Hitler, and the New Masses took a lot of trouble to discredit him. Last week, while the Communist press was stammering explanations of the Russo-German treaty (see above), the Post bought nearly a full page in Manhattan, Philadelphia and Chicago papers to boast that it had predicted just...
