...author of this pertinent criticism of past Soviet foreign policy at the 20th Congress of the Communist Party in Moscow last February was Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov himself. Last week Molotov was the victim of the method he advocated. Eight years ago he had signed the letters which summarily expelled Marshal Tito's Yugoslavia from the fraternity of 'Communist countries.

In Stalin's mighty fashion, Khrushchev took lofty cracks at top party comrades, referred to Malenkov as an "incorrigible braggart," and told how it had been "necessary to correct" Molotov on an important ideological point...
