Mrs. Paine. Perhaps I can answer your question——

Senator Cooper. And it provoked your interest.

Mrs. Paine. I can answer it this way. I was interested at the party to hear something of what he had to say. I was hopeful when I wrote and inquired if I could see Marina where they lived; and knowing that he would be at work, that I would try to go during the week when I would have a chance simply to talk with her.

Senator Cooper. That night he did say that he did not like the capitalist system?

Mrs. Paine. That is my best recollection.

Senator Cooper. Were you interested, then, in finding out what it was about it he didn't like?

Mrs. Paine. No.

Senator Cooper. In reference to his experience in Russia or for any other reason?

Mrs. Paine. No.

Senator Cooper. You didn't inquire further to have him elaborate on his reasons for not liking the capitalist system?
