“TRAGIC VICTIM OF THE WEST”
COMMUNIST VIEW OF MR MASARYK NEW YORK, March 12. The New York Communist newspaper, the “Daily Worker,” in a Wading article on Mr Masaryk, says: ‘He was not, as newspapers so cynically proclaim over his dead body, ‘a herb of the West.’ He was, instead, a tragic victim of this ‘West,’ which is Only another name for the capitalist money lords and their faithful followers m the upper class of society.” Under the headline, “Masaryk—Victim of Marshall Plan,” an article in the paper says: “It was the terror of the Marshall planners, manufactured and generated from here, which Masaryk was not strong enough to endure and defeat.”
