Yesterday's Daily Worker, of which Browder is editor, printed it |in full. The text ran several thou{sand words. It was accompanied | by a brief statement by Browder stating that there would be full! discussion of the issues raised | among American Communists.
Always Behind Russia
Under Browder the record of the Communist party in the United | States was all-out obstruction of national defenses and of obstruction of aid to Great Britain up to the moment in June, 1941, that Germany attacked the ‘Soviet | Union. This party line included | some of the bitterest attacks made | by any group on the late Presi-| dent Roosevelt. |
