...Stormy Socialist Max Braun, the German who has risked his life a thousand times in the past few months to organize Saar Socialists, Catholics and Communists in opposition to Saar Nazis, declared in his final appeal to Saarlanders to vote for the status quo! "We are Germans and we want eventually to return to Germany. But we are determined that the Saar shall not go to Hitler! There is a difference between Germany and Hitler. The Nazis pass, Germany remains...
...policy is to menace Russian railway men with firing squads, goad them to achievements of despair in making antique rolling stock roll on. Goader-in-Chief is the Dictator's dear friend Lazar Kaganovich.

He poured millions into the treasuries of English trade unions. Probably he did not write the notorious Zinoviev Letter, purporting to "instruct" Laborite (i.e. Socialist) officials of James Ramsay MacDonald's first Cabinet (TIME, Dec. 1. 1924). But on the mere suspicion that the letter might be genuine, British voters turned Scot MacDonald out in a landslide general election and the name of Zinoviev still stinks in England. It now also stinks in Russia...
