Unless Stassen can come up with a suitably electrifying proposal, he will find it well-nigh impossible to break through the Administration's massive complacency...

This was another way of saying that the U.S. would want to take a careful look before selling arms to a nation whose best-organized political party is the Communists and whose avowed antagonist is The Netherlands, a U.S. ally in NATO...
