...Poland," delegates from nine European Communist Parties met to reorganize "the general staff of the world revolution." The importance of the move was highlighted by the presence of Andrei A. Zhdanov and Georgi M. Malenkov, both members of Russia's ruling Politburo and close advisers of Joseph Stalin. Other top Communist brass who attended: Rumania's Ana Pauker; Yugoslavia's Vice Premier Edward Kardelj; Poland's Vice Premier Wladyslaw Gomulka and Minister of Industry Hilary Mine; Jacques Duclos, secretary of the French Communist Party; Italy's Luigi Longo and Eugenio Reale, and delegates from Bulgaria...
...Politics (TIME, May 12, 1941), Fischer, like many another unblinkered convert, sang the blues of disillusionment.

The U.N. is not an international government. It must be remade to become one. It is very likely that the moment the nations begin reshaping the U.N. they will be on the way to an international government without Russia...
...fumbles all over the ideological map: "Farmland should be as free as air. It should not be bought or sold . . . equality of wealth would eradicate the power advantage now inherent in wealth.. . . Marx and Gandhi might make a fruitful combination." In his honest but disjointed eagerness to defeat "Stalin with Gandhi," Fischer defeats the coherence of his anti-Communist thesis...
