Most of these are agents of Dictator Stalin's secret police, an unavoidable feature of diplomatic life in the Soviet capital. Meanwhile in Berlin the Soviet Ambassador Jacques Suritz, a Jew who by special dispensation of Der Führer is permitted to have Aryan housemaids (TIME, Nov. 25, 1935)> was throwing the biggest Red party of the year for Ambassador & Mrs. Davies and the Ambassador's 21-year-old daughter Emlen. The 50 pieces of Davies hand luggage and the 30 trunks were dispatched to the train by the Ambassador's two male secretaries...
...Davies were met by Soviet and U. S. Embassy officials in high hats and sleek great coats, shivering in 14-below-zero cold which would have made fur caps and untidy bearskins more comfortable. A dozen Red cameramen snapped the Davieses, and off they roared through streets cleared by Stalin's orders to their palace. It was evident that the Dictator, having badly muffed and antagonized the first Roosevelt Ambassador to Russia, famed "Bill" Bullitt,-was now doing everything possible to please the President's second envoy to Bolshevik-land.

Radek last week confessed that he helped assassinate in Leningrad two years ago Stalin's famed "Dear Friend Sergei" Kirov (TIME, Dec. 10, 1934 et seq.), adding: "We decided to kill enough leaders from Stalin down to bring about a coup."Piatakov and Radek joined in confessing they sabotaged the work of Stalin's "Dear Friend Grigoriy" Ordzhonikidze, so that Heavy Industry has fallen behind...
...Defense of Leon Trotsky, whose most eminent member is Socialist Norman Thomas, no pilgrim as yet. Last June the Trotskyist Communists of the U. S. merged with the Thomasist Socialists. Normally benign, Mr. Thomas becomes vehement if given opportunity to deny "the canard" that perhaps Trotsky and Stalin are not altogether sincere undoers of each other's work. In the Thomas camp it is an article of faith that Stalin, as Dictator of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, is an enemy of "true Socialism" while Trotsky is a friend. However, Mr. Thomas requested last week...
