Molotov was in familiar form, thundering that only the Soviet Union desired a "democratic, peace"-that the other great powers sought an "imperialist peace" and were stirring up a new war. Bevin turned his heaviest humor on that. Said he: "We are used to it now, being called warmongers. The only good saint in the world is the Soviet Union. As for the rest of us, we all come from somewhere down below, I suppose." Molotov smiled a wintry ghost of a smile...
From the first, Lew Douglas got along with everyone, from Communist Arthur Horner to Imperialist Winston Churchill, from the King & Queen to a 66-year-old miner's wife, who bussed him after his visit to a Yorkshire coal mine. At parties and receptions at Prince's Gate, he had the happy faculty of greeting each guest as though the affair had been a complete flop until the latest arrival.

Introducing a special anti-American cultural section to run Wednesdays and Fridays, L'Humanité cried: "America degrades the spirit." It got down to cases...
...full by Moscow's Pravda: to coordinate Communist forces against U.S. imperialism and wreck the Marshall Plan, which the congress called a U.S. device for the economic and political control of the world. They charged that the U.S. and Britain had fought World War II purely for imperialist reasons. Specifically named as "imperialist toadies" and traitors to the working class were Britain's Prime Minister Attlee and Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin; France's Premier Ramadier and Socialist Leader Leon Blum, Italy's Giuseppe Saragat, and Dr. Kurt Schumacher, German Social Democratic leader...
