Soon President and Potentate strode from the station to review the Red troops. First the infantry and then the cavalry wheeled past. Meanwhile Her Majesty chatted with the Soviet's most famed female diplomat, Mme. Alexandra M. Kollontai, who had come from her post as Ministress to Norway especially to attend Queen Thuraya. Their conversation was presumably "advanced," for Mme. Kollontai is an avowed, die-hard exponent of free love, while Her Majesty, a tireless educator, is easily the most emancipated woman in backward Afghanistan. Both these sagacious ladies paid small heed to President Kalinin, whom ignorant peasants affectionately...

...granted that he is the father and he is held, equally with the mother, responsible for the child's support. . . . The original Communist theory that the State should be responsible for children has been abandoned. It is still held [only] by such champions of free love as Alexandra Kollontai . . . now [Soviet] Minister to Norway (TIME...

These remarks on liberty are particularly apropos in face of the recent decision of the State Department to exclude Alexandra Kollontai because she might spread Communist propoganda. President Gray's suggestion that there be a Boston Common in every city of the United States where every radical should be allowed to air his views, would surely lead to a more healthy condition of affairs than that fostered by the careful exclusion policy of Secretary Kellogg. The trite speeches of uninteresting radicals will surely do less to harm the great American public than the overthrow of a policy of widespread education...

...policy No. 3. that Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg relied for his refusal of entry to the U. S. to Mme. Alexandra Kollontai, Soviet Russia's Minister to Mexico who intended a tour through this Republic on her way to Mexico City. Secretary Kellogg classified her as "actively associated with the International Communist subversive movement," and hence not a fitting alien to be admitted. Under the present immigration law, he was entirely within his powers. Nevertheless, upon his head were heaped the vituperations of many a liberal, not the least of whom was Senator William E. Borah...

...trappings of Communism admixed with a strange assortment of banners, sat a select committee of Soviet Grand Dames, and among them, the Priest Bukharin. There was Klara Zetkin, whose kindly face is but a mask that hides the "fierce revolutionary spirit that burns deep down in her soul"; Mme. Kollontai, attractive wife of a handsome sailor, a fervent but impractical feminist, but with an intelligence that has won her the place of Soviet Ambassador; Lenin's sister "taller than he," with angular features and the "prim air of a typical 'schoolmarm' "; Mme. Muralov, wife of War Lord Trotzky's right...
