What made the Communist nose-in-air the more remarkable was that it had been there so often before. Last April, when former Communist Agent Walter Krivitsky, onetime Chief of Military Intelligence in Western Europe, publicized Stalin's undercover activities in the Saturday Evening Post, accurately forecast the Nazi-Communist Pact, Communists blandly asserted there was no such Krivitsky, featured a creepy New Masses article: "General Krivitsky, you are Shmelka Ginsberg!" At 10:30 one morning last week there appeared before the Committee a slight, thin-faced, intense man of 40 who was introduced by Chairman Dies...
...cameramen exploded flashlight bulbs, he unfolded in five hours of testimony an extraordinary story of the degeneration of a political party that, as he pictured it, had begun as an ardent movement for remaking the world and had turned into the instrument of an imperialist power. He said that Stalin dictated the policies of the U. S. Communist Party and that Russia financed...
...Dirba. These remarkable denials of reality reached a new high-in Washington a man brought suit against the Dies Committee, charging that the Dies Committee itself did not exist.* No Dies, no Dirba, no Krivitsky, no trade unions, no influence, no importance, no history, no Marx, no Lenin, no Stalin-to many an observer it seemed that the Communist Party was just about ready to declare that there was no Communist Party either...

All told, Herr Hitler had won Russian "friendship," but it looked as though, so far, Tovarish Stalin...
Last week another curious and unannounced by-product of the Hitler-Stalin "agreements" came dramatically to light. As the advance guard of 21,000 Red Army troops, supported by 400 tanks, marched in to protect little Estonia from the threats of "imperialist adventurers," some 18,000 German-speaking Estonians, descendants of the Teutonic Knights and Hanseatic merchants who had settled in the Eastern Baltic six and seven centuries ago, made haste to get out. Further south, in Latvia, 60,000 Balts-as the Germans are known in the Baltic-simultaneously began a mass migration back to the "spiritual homeland" they...
