The Mouths of Babes
Mr. Solomon's smashing indictment of Joe Stalin and his political murder, his spy system and his too, too oppressive tyranny proved conclusively (last Thursday night) that the U.S.S.R. has betrayed the interests of the workers. Such wisdom at a New Speakers' Debate!
But you haven't heard Mr. Nathan yet. He is a friend of the workers, a storm bird of revolution, and even the judge placed him first as a speaker. This is what they thought of him in the straw vote taken by the enterprising Mr. Chorlton:—"Afire with his ideals ..." "Had best delivery and Knowledge of his subject ..." Appealing, rhetorical, but the same old excuses ..."
The judge gave an excellent speech on how to speak, and placed the speakers as follows:—Mr. Nathan, Mr. Solomon, Miss Valerie Bryenton, and Mr. Cole, Miss Inna Lissienko and Mr. Oliver.
