A Letter From The Publisher, Oct. 20, 1952
(2 of 2)
The story pointed out that Stalin, addressing U.S. citizens, did not need to send his own agents to this country to accomplish his purpose. It went on to say: "The last time U.S. Reds were investigated—by Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer in 1919—some 5,000 people were arrested and 263 deported . . . Some Congressmen think that to stamp out U.S. Communism now would be a national boon, cheap at any price."
That story ran 22 years-ago. From the look of the world today, it would seem that many another Communist is destined to reach the cover of TIME.
Cordially yours,
*The count includes Mexican Painter Diego Rivera, Spanish Painter Pablo Picasso (creator of Communism's "peace" dove, which also became a TIME cover subject), Harry Bridges, convicted of perjury for denying that he was ever a Communist (TIME, April 17, 195°) and avowed U.S. Communists Eugene Dennis, Earl Browder.
