He noticed a ''Cahiers du Communisme'' article by French communist [[Jacques Duclos]] attacking US Communist leader [[Earl Browder]] for his decision to wind up the American party. Mandel concluded that this reflected a new Soviet hardline towards the west and brought the article to his chief [[Raymond Murphy]], and then to the [[Jay Lovestone]] and the [[AFL]] leadership.<ref name="Dirty Tricks204-205">Roy Godson, ''Dirty Tricks or Trump Cards: U.S. Covert Action and Counterintelligence, Transaction Publishers, 2001, pp.204-205.</ref>
