...left-wing Socialist Leader Pietro Nenni furiously denounced the Atlantic pact as an instrument of war, shouted that President Truman was "a pocket-sized Napoleon . . ." The U.S. was represented by party-lining Negro educator Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, Germany by America's erstwhile No. 1 Communist Gerhart Eisler. When one of the delegates blurted out "Long live Stalin!", foreign guests and their Soviet friends applauded loud and long...

Although jubilant, the little man seemed somewhat puzzled by his release. In his Red dream world, the British court which ruled on his case should have functioned as a docile tool of U.S. imperialist terror. Said Eisler, whimsically: "I ain't no mastermind, but I'm an average good Communist. I try to be a better Communist every...
