...fact that Communists and Socialists had pooled their votes, their voices and their actions in Spain. This was in accordance with the new "united front policy" adopted last year in Moscow by the Comintern or United Communist Parties of the World, on the shrewd instruction of Joseph Stalin (TIME, Aug. 5 et seq.). Intimidation, not votes, was the force which actually opened Spain's jails last week and spewed out 30,000 "politicals...
...plain, rather grim little woman who spoke only Russian. Officially the two were equals. The guest was young Paulina Semionova Zhemchuzhina, wife of President Molotov of the Council of People's Commissars of the U. S. S.

Englishmen make a great thing of initials in their speech and the "P. M." (Prime Minister) was said to have been going over with the Cabinet the speech he subsequently made in the House of Commons upon the accession of King Edward VIII. Afterward Mr. Baldwin's secretary gathered up the manuscript...
...Dealism, or, perhaps, to turn it into something even more socialistic, we can only expect it to refrain from criticizing its master, just as we would expect the N.S.L. and the S.L.I.D., of which it is largely composed, to refrain from criticizing Soviet Russia, and the dictatorship of Stalin...
