TIME, a newsorgan, is neither gentleman nor bourgeois nor proletarian. But nothing could better please a TIME editor than to see Texas as Publisher Carter can show...
...means dead, though Dictator Stalin has ostentatiously withdrawn from its Executive Committee, is the Comintern or Third International, the world agency of proletarian revolution. While Comrade Litvinoff was en route to Washington, dispatches from Moscow reported that "the windows of the Comintern Building are dark."
