Yet most of the American press brags of its ignorance of Stalin by frequently alluding to the “enigmatic ruler in the Kreml...

NOVANEWS Selected Works of Mao Tse-tung December 20, 1939 On the Twenty-first of December, Comrade Stalin will be sixty years old. We can be sure that his birthday will evoke warm and affectionate congratulations from the hearts of all revolutionary people throughout the world who know of the occasion.
