...Moscow last week Joseph Stalin wrote a letter calling upon the working class of the capitalist world to organize for the support of the Russian "working class." First reply to this appeal came from a U. S. working man who is as comfortably fixed as any Soviet Commissar -little Matthew Woll, vice president of the American Federation of Labor. Cried Matty Woll: "The Soviet regime deserves no more support from organized labor in democratic countries than do the Governments of Hitler and Mussolini. . . .The American Federation of Labor rejects as impudent Stalin's appeal for support...
...Joseph Stalin's letter contained not only an appeal but also a statement: "The aid of the international proletariat appears to be a force without which the final victory of socialism in one country is not to be decided." That was not precisely a clarion call for world revolution but it was enough of a hint of old-fashioned Bolshevism to set off speculation on a possible shift in the Communist Party "line." For the keystone of the "line" has lately been not world revolution but co-operation with the capitalist democracies for a collective stand against fascism...
...Vacuum Oil Co. building. Meantime the two tiptop U. S. Communists, William Z. Foster and Earl Browder, had returned to Manhattan from Moscow, still talking collective security, which means support of Capitalist Franklin Roosevelt. Mr. Browder, who holds down the same official job in the U. S. as Mr. Stalin in Russia-General Secretary of the Party-arrived home just in time to welcome a four-day convention of his "Party Builders." In capitalist terms the Party Builders are star salesmen who sign up the most new members, a group analogous to a "$1,000,000 Club" in the insurance...
Since the Treaty of Versailles was signed in 1919 there have been only a few turning points in the history of Europe. There was the March on Rome in 1922 which founded the first of many modern Fascist States (see p. 24). Another epochal moment was Stalin's launching in 1928 of the first Five-Year Plan. Adolf Hitler then began striking from Germany, one by one, the shackles of Versailles, and last week came the mighty moment when his chain-bursting finally carried Nazi expansion well out beyond the borders of Germany, sent it crashing not only into...
...Bolshevize the world. If England was really anxious to defend the status quo, she would energetically oppose the Bolshevization of other countries, for such Bolshevized regions are no longer self-governing states but only sections of the revolutionary Moscow centre. I know Mr. Eden does not share this view! Stalin does and openly admits it." (See p. 17.) The Chancellor, having thus pinched the sorest point he could find, devoted a conciliatory part of his speech to announcing that: 1) Germany extends diplomatic recognition to the Empire of Manchukuo and assures Japan that the Fatherland wants no territory in Eastern...
