...Brave New World, Inc. paid two dividends last week, but there were ominous signs of crises yet to be withstood. Dividend No. 1 was the visit to Washington of Mr. Anthony Eden, Britain's Foreign Secretary, who was prepared to consult with American officials on the political and economic problems of post-war cooperation. Long an internationalist, often touted as the next Prime Minister, Eden was a happy choice to initiate British-American conferences. A second encouraging sign lay in the announced intention of a bi-partisan group of U. S. Senators to offer a Senate resolution tomorrow, calling...
...solid barrier against aggression from any quarter, and by doing so even in the darkest days, she rendered us invaluable service. . . .

Despite snipers all around us, despite the machine guns and the mortar fire, he stood right up on his feet and shouted...
...Does It. Henry Morgenthau is no coward: it has taken a brave man to hold his job for nine years. In that time he has been subjected to enough criticism, needling and downright insults to drive an ordinary man to distraction. He cannot get along with Congress. Most of the men he brought in to help him at the Treasury have refused to go along with his policies. He is disliked by most New Dealers (who regard him as a budget-balancer at heart) and practically all conservatives (who think his tax policies are shot through with social theory...
