...Moscow (TIME, Nov. 27, 1933). The pretense, in Russian eyes, was exactly 50% of Mr. Roosevelt's making. He knew, as all the world knew, that the Soviet State has always had in Moscow the Comintern (see col. 3) which has as its avowed object the violent overthrow of the U. S. and all other non-Communist governments. Yet, knowing this, the President accepted assurances from Soviet Foreign Commissar Maxim Maximovich Litvinoff which meant nothing at all if they did not mean that Dictator Stalin would abolish the Comintern or move it out of Russia. Since this was never...
Last month practically every Alabama newspaper including the Eagle was calling on jolly Governor Bibb Graves to veto an antisedition bill, just passed by the Legislature, making it a misdemeanor to advocate the overthrow of the government by violence or to own more than one copy of a publication doing so.* The newspaper howls turned to cheers when Governor Graves finally vetoed the bill.

Organized workers in Japan number 380,000 out of a total working class population of 5,770,000. Naturally the proletariat of Japan is opposed to the Government's activities in China...
...hourly dissolution of the monarchy that suddenly fell apart like a gigantic One-Hoss Shay. Again & again Author Chamberlin introduces incidents and documents to prove how little the ruling class understood what was happening, and to suggest the excitement and good nature of the revolution. Only after the overthrow of Kerensky's Provisional Government and the seizure of power by the Bolsheviks does the narrative darken, become more ominous. Then casualty lists, accounts of atrocities replace the accounts of the first enthusiastic confusion. Maintaining an unflinching detachment, Author Chamberlin holds no person or party responsible, betrays indignation only when...
