REDS IMPERILING
(Continued from page 1)
Free Europe lost no time in carry
ing n full reply to the Communist
allegations, quoting medical auth
orities and representative Jewish
organizations. JDC chairman Ed
ward M. M. Warburg’s statement
denouncing the Soviet slander of
the JDC as "fantastic,” was exten
sively quoted.
The Communist newspapers
were the sole voices in the free
world to seek to defend or justify
the Soviet action and this they did
to a certain extent by intensifying
their protestations of capitalist
anti-Semitism in the Rosenberg
case. Their trump card was an “in
terview’. with the Chief Rabbi of
Moscow by the correspondent of
the London Daily Worker who
quoted this witness to the effect
that everything for the Jews was
fine in the workers’ paradise.
