...British fear that further large-scale Jewish immigration may cause a major Arab outbreak in the Middle East endangering Britain's oil supply and its road to the Far East. And if the British washed their hands of the Arab world, the U.S. would likely have to step into their shoes to keep the peace, to keep Russia out and to protect its own essential Arabian oil interests...
Should our policy in China continue to give the National diehards the comfortable feeling [that] we will support them come what may -a feeling they have been entitled to ever since the removal of General Stilwell-we may well be a principal agent in the promotion of a full-scale and tragically bloody civil war, in which the anti-Government forces will probably win out.

Kravchenko says that he reached this decision in January 1938. During the next five years he hung on, "a confirmed enemy of the regime," rising higher & higher in the scale, until he was established on the "highest, fattest" Soviet level, with an automobile and a private Moscow apartment.

Conversion from a one-crop economy must be relegated to days when actual survival is not a day-to-day headache...
...late to talk about a boat missed a year ago. An examination of Tech's project, college planned, constructed and owned, is ample proof of what can be done by getting in on the ground floor and devoting large scale funds and talent toward the solution of a large-scale problem. A project of the same type at Harvard could not be completed in time to ease the September squeeze. Now University Hall must scramble to avert tragedy with all the means it can beg, brow or steal over the summer. It is also too late to fret over...
