For nearly twenty of his years in London, he was known as a close supporter of the communists. People change their minds, but Mr. Menon's recent speeches do not suggest that he has changed his. I should guess that be is one of that considerable band of people in important positions in the free world who, though not technically party members, are in fact disciplined communists.

I hope people will not think I am suffering from a conspiracy mania; after all, Communism is a conspiracy.
Vengalil Krishnan Krishna Menon
