Roy quotes him as if he relished turning the idiocies on his tongue: “a power behind Stalin which gave him greatness . . . how little of a personal dictator he seemed to be. . . . How much less than Mr. Churchill. . . I was in Hungary during the recent election … [it was] the fairest election I have ever seen . . . emphatically the government of the people’s choice.” Roy deplores such statements —gently. But Mr. Philbrick is “careless and sensational!”

Roy is also gentle to the kept Churchmen imported from behind the Iron Curtain. But he says of those who criticized them: “Some of the hecklers on the trip were professional antagonists of the World Council of Churches who seized upon every opportunity to vent their hatred against Protestant leadership.” (Italics added.) Always the smile for the collectivist, the knife for the American!
