Looking on, the Peking radio betrayed something akin to sympathy for the U.S. predicament. It no longer called Rhee a U.S. puppet, and even for the first time spoke of the U.S. as a democratic nation. Rhee's actions, said Peking in a July 4 broadcast, constitute "an insult to the spirit of independence and democracy of the American people and their ancestor, Washington."

Speaking to an audience of business and professional men at the Biltmore Hotel, he made an effective plea for greater and more intelligent popular participation in government. Once again he denounced legislative pandering to special interests, terming it closely akin to corruption. "Sound government," said Stevenson, "ends when the leaders of special groups call the tune, whether they represent capital, labor or farmers, veterans, pensioners or anyone else...
