...America's frontiers are in Asia. We cannot abandon Asia to Communism any more than we can abandon Europe to Communism. As in the war, so in the peace we must fight on both fronts. In spite of what has happened in China we still have a chance here. We have the unique opportunity of making the Japanese people into a good society. They have an old adage here-as Japan goes, so goes Asia. The history of the next 100 years, perhaps the next 1,000 years, may be decided here in the East...
...Safer Way. The little man was the measure of America's task. The little man -and millions like him-wanted to know what he might bow to now. Emperor MacArthur? The American flag? If democracy was the faith of the men who had beaten Japan, it was probably a good thing; he would make obeisance...
Three years ago Hungarian-born Eugene Varga wrote a book which, although violently hostile towards America and Britain, held that there was no likelihood of a depression in the Western countries before 1955.

This time the man who supplied the leadership was a plump little Italian-born U.S. labor leader named Serafino Romualdi. As the American Federation of Labor's walking delegate in Latin America, he had tirelessly gone up & down the continent lining up pro-democratic trade unionists. He knew intimately the leader of every I.L.O. worker delegation, and though his role at the conference was only an adviser's, he was unquestionably the most influential man present. Even the Argentines, who had bustled in 37-strong, handing out Peronista tracts, wisely decided to string along with...
