		...Those who doubt Gitlow will hardly have their smugness dented by his hammer-blows while those of us who know too well the truth of his testi- mony can only be saddened by his ineptness in its presentation...

		As for his own role in the Party, Author Gitlow confesses he was no better than the next one —though naturally he credits himself with better brains, if not better morals, than most of his comrades.
		The U. Communists of Gitlow's memoirs are in dead earnest about the "proletarian revolution"; their activities frequently have serious consequences for their followers and U. labor.
		Gitlow tells how the Communists raised Party funds through defense campaigns for Sacco and Vanzetti, the Scottsboro boys, starving British miners; how they hushed up the fiasco of the $250,000 "gold bonds" which were sold to finish building a $3,000,000 co-operative apartment house in The Bronx.

		Benjamin Gitlow, himself a prominent American Communist, wrote in his 1948 book The Whole of Their Lives that Poyntz was a delegate to several consecutive American Communist Party conventions starting in 1926, and was a member of the Party’s Central Executive Committee, besides being on New York’s District Executive Committee.

		True or untrue, at the times they each have met, it has often sadly been in the cauldron of warfare, and at least in the case of the United States, has consequently been expensive and largely fruitless.
		Since the 1920s, the Soviets planned and hoped for a USA-Japan war because they believed such a conflict (one that they knew the USA would likely win) would help create a large Asian power vacuum which could then be quickly filled by Communism.
		Benjamin Gitlow was a founding and prominent member of the US Communist Party but was permanently expelled from the organization in 1933 for daring to openly criticize the crimes of Josef Stalin.
