"I believe that every honest intellectual should be
able to say with the liberal author, Waldo Frank:
' What is taking place in Russia is the most
precious social event, the most precious social
life, of our crucial epoch...We must defend the
Soviet Union with our spirit; if need be, we must
defend it with our bodies'"

-The Anvil Editor Jack Conroy (4 [May 1933], 4)

"There is puissance in iron;
With its rusty fluids,
Iron-ore erects titans.
In armor-clad units,
Step forward, my brothers,
Under labor's own fiery flag!"

-Michail Prokofyevich Gerasimove
(2 [Sept.-Oct. 1933], 24)

"Peace is my armor
and class is my lance."

-Walker Winslow
(9 [Jan.-Feb. 1935], 12)
