...Jewish-Communist plot to overthrow the U. S. Government next August by the ingenious means of bringing in 150,000 Communists, mostly ex-Loyalist Spaniards. The importees would seize U. S. arsenals, take over public utilities and transportation facilities. Meanwhile, rich Jewish conspirators would unload their securities, creating financial chaos...
Significant to the Soviet regime is that Stalin has chosen the Supreme Council as his sounding board. Since 1930 he has spoken often: to Communist Party Congresses, to graduates of the Red Army academies, to the public on the opening of the Moscow subway. In dry, prosaic, unemotional speeches, packed with phrases like "the idiotic disease of political carelessness," and with schoolteacherish questions and answers ("What is the essence of this attitude? The essence of this attitude is. . . .") Stalin has lectured Young Communists, delegates of the Third International, Stakhanovites, collective farmers, shock troopers, school children. But this is his first...
Government. Soviets in Russia perform administrative functions roughly comparable to those of municipal councils, State legislatures, Congress, in the U. S. Originally committees formed in factories and towns when the Tsar's authority broke down, there are now 70,000 of them to whom delegates, not always Communist Party members, are elected by secret ballot in direct elections, but from candidates selected by the Communist Party.

They are the shadow of the Party, moving when the Party moves. Bigger than military questions is the problem of how much their moves mean to the 23,000,000 industrial and office workers, the 93,500,000 peasants and artisans...
...night last week was the Temple's careful neutrality. Shatterer was the Rev. Edward Lodge Curran, florid, bald, horn-voiced, hammer-handed president of the International Catholic Truth Society. His "discourse" touched on the dedication, a few hours before, of the Soviet Pavilion. Famed for his anti-Communist campaigns, a specialist in picturesque "and" invective, Father Curran raised his and to a new high, thundered against "a ranking city official" who had greeted the Soviet Pavilion with "fulsome unAmerican praise." Asked whom he meant, Father Curran rasped: "The audience knew whom I meant." A few listeners recalled that...
