...Infallibility. Behind Attlee's remarks is the clamor of left-wing press and politicians, who seem unimpressed by the humiliating fact that the Red government has ignored Britain's offer of diplomatic recognition. The New Statesman & Nation, as toplofty and ill-informed as ever, singled out Douglas MacArthur as the chief villain, solemnly assured its readers that he alone would be to blame if a general war broke out in Asia.

...Canadian government yielded last week to a mounting public clamor to send Canadian ground force troops to Korea. With the country seemingly convinced that the three Canadian destroyers and a squadron of ten transport planes already assigned for the Korean campaign were not enough, External Affairs Chief Lester Pearson flew to Washington to get a firsthand appraisal of the military situation.

They clamor incessantly for such items as Hoppy roller skates (complete with spurs and jewel-studded ankle straps) and Hopalong bicycles (leather-fringed saddles, handlebars shaped like steer's horns, built-in gun holsters). Because of the craze for Hopalong hats, shirts, chaps, boots, six-shooters and gun belts, Boyd claims that U.S. manufacturers of 56% of all the Western-type merchandise are paying him royalties for Hopalong...
