...horrible sinking feeling," she said, "when people come up to me and say 'Let them stew in their own juice; it isn't our war because we can't help suffering when all the rest of the world is suffering. We can't go scot-free. For people who think they can give one a terrible feeling of lack of real appreciation of the responsibility that lies on us, as one great nation at peace today, to be thinking seriously of what we can do to alleviate suffering for civilian populations and to bring about...
Last week three hitherto steadfast Communists jumped from the train with what dignity they could. Frail, bespectacled Granville Hicks, a free-lance critic, writer (I Like America, John Reed-The Making of a Revolutionary), whose appointment to a Harvard fellowship raised a great stir in 1938, resigned not because he disapproved of the Russo-German Pact, but because bigwig Reds approved it before they could possibly know anything about it.

...hustle to Moscow this week with a delegation empowered to sign. This obviously cut two ways: on the one hand Russia has taken efficient measures to exclude the Germans from Estonia and Latvia; on the other hand the Soviet Union has obtained the use of fine, ice-free Estonian and Latvian harbors through which Russian supplies could be routed to Germany after Leningrad freezes up late this month...
