Browder to both the pact itself and to the foreign policy line pursued by the USSR and the Third International in August 1939 – June 1941.
Being on the periphery of the interests of the Secretariat of the Third International, the Communist Party of the United States supported and defended the thesis of the “imperialist” nature of the war, the involvement of governments, especially Great Britain and France, as well as the administration of F.
