It is called the Society for the Propagation of
theGospel in Foreign Parts. It will be an opportunity for you to shew the
Committeewhat you are made of. ACT IIOffice of the secretary of the League of
Nations. I have been assaulted, plundered, and driven from mynative soil by its
responsible ruler. They believein human sacrifices, in what they call the remission
of sins by theshedding of blood.
ACT IIOffice of the secretary of the League of
Nations. Do you mean totell me that you did not foresee the consequences of your
action?
You knowthat there is a Society called the League
of Nations Union, dontyou?
Youcan look in at the end of the week, when the
answer from the Haguewill have arrived.
I am Commissar Posky of theSovnarkom and
Politbureau, Soviet delegate to the League Council.
The president andparliament are elected by adult
suffrage every two years.
I gotfourteen prizes for regular
attendance.
I should break things to him more gently, Mr
Posky.
How could that be if he was the president? No mans
life would be safe in Russia if suchdoctrines were propagated there. They have
penetrated to my own household. But I think Ican make it more interesting for
you.
You would not think so if you lived in a country
wherethere is at least one murder in every family. But what, then, is your
difficulty, Comrade Posky?
WhatI say is why pick on the Jews, as if they were
any worse than otherpeople? One thatwould get you appreciated and perhaps a little
talked about?
But nobody can foresee what periods my imaginary
senators willrepresent. A Church charity would be ashamed to pay it.
But I think Ican make it more interesting for you.
Itell you I back the Empire; and the Empire will back me.
Except for thesmall writing table at which the
secretary is seated there is nooffice furniture.
My English is German English, and may leave
somethingto be desired.
