The chairman of the Public Works Committee doled out committee jobs in his home state. He was asked what these appointees did:
In the midst of World War II, FDR asked Wendell Wilkie, his former Presidential opponent, to make a fact finding, good-will tour to The Middle East and the Soviet Union. One plane stop on the tour was in Mongolia where the local communist leader had been instructed by Stalin to care for Willkie’s safety. The quotation is very important becasue it illustrated Stalin's method of control and administration: Liquidate (murder) those whose attitude or performance was not to his satisfaction. Unfortunately, even though Willkie wrote of this incident, no one in America--especially not the Media--picked up on this. This was about 20 years before the world learned of Stalin's "liquidations". In the inerim many idealists in America and the rest of the world, became or flirted with Communists as they knew the good and the worst of the bad had not been public knowledge.
