Of the 98 expelled, last week, three rank as at least second string great men in Russia: 1) Christian Rakovsky, recently recalled as Ambassador to France at the request of that nation, which feared him as a tireless fomenter of "The Revolution of the World Proletariat"; 2) Karl Radek, probably the most brilliant publicist of the third international (bureau for world Communist propaganda); 3) Lev Borisovitch Kemenev, onetime holder of numerous offices approximating "cabinet rank" in the Soviet Government.
