When William Allen White recently said, "any talk of a stalemate victory that leaves Hitler in control of Europe is appeasement and thereby treason to world democracy," he touched on the dilemma which American faces today. The simple, brutal fact is this: there is not a ghost of a chance that England, alone, can break Germany's stranglehold on the continent of Europe. The best we can hope for is a "stalemate victory...

Forgotten by Author Simone apparently is the fact that a year before Munich the Soviet Government officially announced that it had executed its leading marshal and seven generals for high treason, presumably with the Germans. J'Accuse! may be an offensive-defense from the left against mouthing charges that the Popular Front was responsible for lowering French plane production to 38 planes a month in 1937; that after the signing of the Berlin-Moscow pact French Communists sullenly sabotaged...
