', ii will probably find more warmth and comfort in the hearts of those Godly believers .whom Communism persecutes but who nevertheless will pray in charity for the eternal rest of the Russian leader. The conspiratorial background is appropriate secondly for the reason that plotting against one's fellow is inherent in the Communist creed. ' The omnipotent Lenin, father of the party, personally showed his complete endorsement of this fact when he wrote on his deathbed to his wife: "Stalin must be removed." .". That was the grand gesture, the magnificent flourish which revealed the great Communist master true to character right to the end. Had he said something inane like, "May the wish of the people, determine who shall lead them," he would not only have done dreadful damage to the whole principle of the cause, but would have failed to set the stage for the Stalin-Trotzky feud which brought the Communist practice of back-knifing to such high art. Throughout the democracies of the world there w ill be mourning for Stalin. Much of this will be a generous tribute to a man of recognized administrative ability who, for this and for the inspiration he gave his country in th last war, merits high admiration. ; Unfortunately, some of it will also be prompted by a fear that the Russian move to embrace the world .will be interrupted, if not altogether halted. Those who mourn for this reason are the shyster mourners who would offer their tears to' Stalin with time, under the Hyde Park agreement.
