Out of the Red?

The U.S. Communist Party bellowed this week: "The American people--the workers, the toiling farmers, the Negro masses, the middle classes--all those who hate fascism . . . will see in the cause of the Soviet Union and its peoples the cause of all advanced and progressive mankind."

With Britain making promises of help for Russia, the great industrial machinery of the U.S. became important to the cause of the Soviet. No Communist end, therefore, could be served by further sabotaging U.S. defense.

If all these things presaged a change in the Communist Party Line, then Germany's attack on Russia was a godsend to U. S. labor. For it will mean the end of deliberately stirred up strikes and intentionally prolonged disputes which have taxed the patience of Government, the public and labor leaders themselves, disrupted labor's ranks.
