...President vigorously denied that the U.S. was "shooting from the hip" in enunciating its disarmament policy. But he gave the impression, as the Christian Science Monitor's Richard L. Strout pointed out, of "a conscientious man, eager to do what is in humanity's highest interest, reaffirming his pledge to go ahead with a cessation of atomic tests, but at the same time weighing the possible loss to mankind of losing the peaceful knowledge which such tests might bring." It was an impression of confusion, too, but it left no confusion about Ike's basic...
...Germany, fatherland of the classic cartel. (In the mid-1930s, experts estimated that nearly 2,000 cartel agreements were in force in German industry.) Already chafing under the decartelization imposed on them by the Allies at the end of World War II, West German industrialists (who furnish the ruling Christian Democratic Party with much of its funds) were in no mood to let Erhard saddle them with a permanent commitment to free competition...
Deficient but Hopeful. Compromising and tough by turns-at one point he threatened not to campaign for the Christian Democrats in next fall's general election-Erhard never ceased pressing for his law. Last week, while Bonn sweltered under heat so intense that firemen were obliged to water the Bundestag roof to prevent it from dripping tar, the 60-year-old Economics Minister finally won the day. The law he got-which provided for a number of permissible cartels including "crisis" cartels and retail-price-fixing rings-was less than he had hoped for. Nonetheless, said Erhard, "with...
...Italy the Christian Democrats still dominate, but with no clear majority; the party suffers from immobility because it includes too many political shadings from left to right, unified only by Catholicism. The West German party, in a nation that is less than 50% Roman Catholic, has shrewdly salted its basically Catholic leadership with Protestants. In France the Catholic M.R.P. Party, with its "good Europeans" Georges Bidault and Robert Schuman, is a declining force because the supersensitive issue of state aid to Catholic schools has split it from its Socialist allies...
West Germany. The Bishop of Mün-ster, Dr. Michael Keller, last month told Catholic workers that as Catholics they should consider themselves prohibited from voting Socialist. "It is a question of conscience, not one of political judgment," he said. Though Adenauer's Christian Democratic leaders privately welcomed the effect the bishop's pronouncement would have on rural and women voters, they were careful not to endorse the bishop's views publicly: they do not want to alienate Protestant voters in the fall's national elections...
