Rebirth of the Popular Front?

The author, a vice president of the St. Louis Union Trust Company, and a student of Leftist behavior, predicts a revival of Popular Front schemes

What the Soviet Union won during the War and in the immediate postwar years was due in large measure to the blindly pro-Communist attitude of the Western World nurtured during the Popular Front era. It will al-ways be debatable to what extent our childish belief in the good faith and good intentions of the Soviet Union was responsible for the series of fateful decisions by which we lost the war in the political sense and built up the power of the Soviet Union.
