Lewis Mumford is an art critic, a specialist in architecture and city planning at a time when more cities are being destroyed than built. He has written authoritatively about these and other subjects. He is also a militant and vocal liberal, and has en joyed a long connection with The New Republic that ended last June in a hideous rupture (TIME, June 17, July 8). When Russia, the "Socialist Fatherland," began to exhibit openly all the symptoms of a flourishing fascism, Mumford denounced Communists. When German, Italian and Japanese Fascists began to burn the cities of Spain and China, Author...

Loud was the muttering last week from U. S. citizens who feared the fifth column within their gates. Many a citizen pointed with alarm at U. S. Communists, U. S. Nazis, urged any and all means to combat them before it was too late. Just as loud, and more vocal, were the outraged counter-cries from the Communist Party, meeting in New York City for its national convention.
