...Khrushchev, an exemplary product of Stalin's schooling, seems to learn more slowly and painfully than did Frankenstein's laboratory-built monster. Perhaps he really has no idea that, long before Mr. Molotov's incredible announcement (on June 14, 1941) warnings of a German attack on Russia were being put out by "the forces arrayed against the Soviet Union and the Great German Reich," Indians were fighting and dying alongside British, Australian, French and other comrades to protect Egypt and the Arab world and to set Ethiopia free. An obscure party employee in those days, [Khrushchev...
...STATESMAN & NATION : IT is naive of western politicians and papers to be shocked by the strange statements of Khrushchev and Bulganin in their Eastern tour. Molotov made it only too clear at Geneva that the decision not to threaten the world with war did not include any serious intention to lift the iron curtain. Clearly we must take it for granted that the Russian leaders will follow the usual lines of political warfare and select their facts to suit their audiences.

Molotov obligingly answered yes, and Evatt set out to use Molotov as a character witness. This reassured no one. Then Evatt turned his ire on critical anti-Communists in his own party...
...stumped the country in a sweat-stained hat and rumpled suit, screeching defiance. Said he: "The championship of smearing has passed from Senator McCarthy to the Prime Minister. His election motto is ten smears a day to keep the doctor at bay." But wherever he went, the cry of "Molotov" brought shouts of laughter from his audience. Evatt attacked the Communist Party as "totalitarian in method and antidemocratic in character." But as fast as he shed his red feathers, the Communists stuck them back. A Communist-dominated union collected funds for his campaign; Communist mobs heckled Menzies. Said Menzies...
