...hobnailed dictator but a silky Jewish intellectual of the Leon Trotsky type is Socialist French Premier Léon Blum. Smart Paris wiseacres guessed last week that Blum's shock at the killing of Nava, chine caused him to remonstrate by telegraph with Joseph Stalin, perhaps accounted for the unexpected action...
After each major act of Joseph Stalin's regime, a vast cheering throng swells into the Red Square, carrying aloft on long poles horrid caricatures of the enemies of Bolshevism, handsome likenesses of its Dictator. At 15° below zero last week, thousands of prospective demonstrators stood shuffling, stamping and blowing on their hands in narrow side streets and alleys adjoining the Kremlin Fortress in which J.

Had not Radek just been called by everyone such things as "the worst betrayer since Judas Iscariot"-the betrayer of Stalin? However, Communists are the world's most disciplined Party. With almost no grumbling, the Radek placards were discarded, the caricatures of other Old Bolsheviks doomed to Death raised high, and shouting, cheering into the Red Square swarmed the marchers...
