Maurin's conclusion is his own, though its truth must be challenged, for he is obviously wrong when he says that the Communists' "advocate class struggle." They do not. They say that the class struggle is a fact and that only the dictatorship of the proletariat can end it. That is not the same thing as what Maurin, says, but it is Marx or Lenin. Maurin has the especial merit of stating a point of view so badly that it stimulates the reader to examine closely his every word. Thus he acquaints us with the opinions of many persons less...
...Every few months Dictator Stalin is rumored to have all but abandoned the Communist struggle to foment from Moscow revolution in other lands. Recently the offices near the Kremlin of the Comintern or official Moscow bureau for fomenting the "World Revolution of the World Proletariat" were closed, and not until last week did Moscow correspondents rediscover the Comintern occupying magnificent new quarters overlooking Moscow on the Lenin Hills. Divided into three five-story buildings connected by three-story sections, the colossal new quarters for fomenting World Revolution comprise just over 1,000 rooms...

Increasingly sleek, fashionably dressed and attentive to women (although happily married, albeit childless*) "Mitch" at first used to go about saying frankly, "I owe my election to ladies, Liberals and Labor!" In those days he was blatantly the proletariat's friend. In 1930 at 34 years of age, Mr. Hepburn was elected Provincial Leader of the Liberal Party, and just four years later he was swept in as Premier of Ontario in the Liberal landslide...
...Right on Top!" If Ontario had any real Labor political organization it would now be able to make plenty of trouble for "Mitch." But he himself was so recently Labor's chief champion that Ontario's proletariat has been caught napping. Up to last week one and only one candidate affiliated with C. I. O. had offered himself for election against "Mitch's" Liberal slate, Alfred Mustin, President of Local No. 67 of the United Rubber Workers of America, standing at North Waterloo as an Independent Laborite...
