into the mire of Slavic chaos (with condiments: oh yes, with condiments,<br />

according to some unkindly critics)?<br />

But supposin’ the widdy Trotsky DOES drag the program OUT of the<br />

Slavic ambiance, out of Russia, into the American hemisphere? Already<br />

AT it in fact, get a humanitarian coloring. Not having been able to shoot<br />

Mr. Stalin, Mrs. Trotsky now decides war is wicked, or at least an error.<br />

The kindly U.S.A., Y.M.C.A. circumjacence coloring Mrs. Trotsky’s<br />

susceptible mind. What would American communism finally come to?<br />

Where would it land? Or for the matter of that, where would the British<br />

episcopal Lambeth Palace, curates and mitre brand of communism<br />

finally end? What effect would the British dislike of the nosey parker<br />

have on Weishaupt’s latch for universal and close range espionage, every<br />

brother spyin’ and telling on everyone else?<br />

Is Mrs. Trotsky ready to color, or to paint up to the point of seeing the<br />

homestead as something more germane to the American temperament<br />

than the kolckhoz or factory farm? That would be something to ask her.<br />

Since you are head in’ for communism, lickety split, hell for leather, or<br />

mebbe hell with a shortage of leather, certainly with a shortage of<br />

pigskin and Japanese cherry trees.<br />

And in conclusion where does she stand or SET on the matter of<br />

economic aggression? On the matter of dumping? On the matter of those<br />

seven league strides toward a higher cultural level than Lenin wanted to<br />

shove onto the Muscovites?<br />

And the desired self-criticism inside the party? Has the American<br />

Communist Party yet opened up to the self-critics from the inside?<br />

Probably Will, or rather Kumrad William Williams was a bit pessimistic<br />

on that subject, when I was last admitted to his acquaintance. Certainly<br />

Messrs. Churchill and Roosevelt do seem to represent pretty much all<br />

that is worst in the plutocracy. So widdy Trotsky may git a run for her<br />

money.
