...Communist Opposition, recently deposed from their official positions in the Third (Communist) International (TIME, Dec. 6, 1926, & Oct. 10).

For example his dismissal was thought certain in 1924, just before the murder (TIME, July 28, 1924) of the U. S. Vice Consul Robert W. Imbrie. That incident so fired U. S. wrath that the Persian Government dared not further inflame...
