RADICALS: Purely for Peace

The American Peace Mobilization last week shook its little Red sail and went about on a new tack—in the exact wake of the Communist Party. For 40 days A.P.M. pickets had paraded before the White House, protesting aid to Britain—purely in the interests of peace. When A.P.M. gave up picketing as futile just before Germany attacked Russia, it did not recede from its stand one iota. But last week, after Russia was attacked, A.P.M. came forth with a vast new credo: an embargo on Japan, all-out aid to almost everyone, including Great Britain, China and—er—the Soviet Union.
