...Jimmie speaking" was the reply . . . and went on, "I say Kate-have you read your Times yet?" "No, I haven't-why?" "The news looks bad-Russia and Germany have signed a pact. I'm leaving here today and getting back home. It looks bad I tell you and I want to see my uniform is alright." "Well give me a ring before you do go to say 'Goodbye.' " "Alright, Kate-Goodbye." Sank back in my bed and that dull thud, thud in the head overtook me, the thud of wondering, imagining and trying...
...Communist nose-in-air the more remarkable was that it had been there so often before. Last April, when former Communist Agent Walter Krivitsky, onetime Chief of Military Intelligence in Western Europe, publicized Stalin's undercover activities in the Saturday Evening Post, accurately forecast the Nazi-Communist Pact, Communists blandly asserted there was no such Krivitsky, featured a creepy New Masses article: "General Krivitsky, you are Shmelka Ginsberg!"

Presumably the Comintern in Moscow has the names and addresses of the thousands of Communists who, up to the Pact, were determinedly working to overthrow Naziism and betting on war as their best chance. Whether they had quit, or whether they had been turned in by their Moscow bosses, was not apparent.
