Groggy from the punching it received at Detroit from the hands of C.I.O., the General Motors of Canada waits for the knock-out punch. It is prepared to allow the employees of the Ontario plants all the benefits of the Detroit Agreement, balking only at the employees' representative, who is an organizer from the United States. What the Lewis groups must learn is how to give up tactics successful in the past for others that under new circumstances will bring peace to Oshawa...

The progress of the campaigns indicates a slow victory for the rebels; indeed Italy could never allow a Communist country to dominate the western Mediterranean. If the war works itself out, General Franco may become the military head of an impoverished country with the bulk of the working class opposed and the nations which sent him troops clamoring for return favors. Another powder barrel may be put in the magazine of Europe. The alternative...
