...spokesman in the U. S., made the announcement in Boston. Because it was Browder who spoke, his hearers knew that the "new party line" was really Moscow talking. A quick transition to socialism in the U. S. is now the object of his party, said he, returning to Joseph Stalin's old theme: that the U. S. is ripe for collapse and revolutionary restitution. Of his more recent declarations (that socialism is not now practicable for the capitalistic U. S.) Earl Browder made no mention last week. Said he, abandoning Communist support of Roosevelt's foreign and domestic...
What moved Joe Stalin and his Earl Browder to doff their democratic whiskers was the Russo-German pact and the consequent reaction against the U. S. S. R., in which Franklin Roosevelt shared last week (see p. 15). The Browder speech last week was the first realistic thing which he and his party have done since the Stalin & Hitler marriage of convenience. But Browder and friends, free again to take up their old cries of international class war, down-with-capitalism, etc., were not in an altogether happy position.

More than anyone else, this talented revolutionary-turned-diplomat, daughter of a Tsarist general and a part Finnish mother, would be able to tell Negotiator Stalin just how solid Scandinavian neutrality was, just when and where the Scandinavian countries might fight to retain...
Though the comedy becomes somewhat chilled when the comrades return to Moscow, there are such inspirations as a parade on the Red Square with marchers stolidly carrying hundreds of identical pictures of Stalin. There are scenes in Ninotchka's small apartment whose limited lebensraum she shares with a girl cellist, a beefy Russian streetcar conductress of the kind Poet e. e. cummings called "non-men," and a dark, dumpy little man who plods silently in & out-"You never know whether he is going to the washroom or the secret police...
