...words he chose to leave unsaid at the monastery, the archbishop had put into a pastoral letter, to be read from Catholic pulpits throughout the country. In it, he summarized the successive steps the Czech Communist government has taken to gain control of the church and its schools, rejected the charges leveled at the church hierarchy, pointed out that "the issue does not concern a settlement between church and state ... It is an issue of ... replacing Christianity by Marxism, which assumes for the state the rights in matters of conscience, faith and morals -something no Christian can accept...
Last week the election returns were in. Remote-control Rabble-Rouser Bose, still in Switzerland, had won hands down-19,030 votes to 5,780 for Das. Congress leaders were plainly worried. Nehru blamed Congressmen for losing their fervor and for self-seeking-"If we cannot revitalize Congress we must dissolve it in a dignified manner rather than allow it to disintegrate by stages."

Decartelization-dissolution of agreements to control prices, markets, etc.-was not going along satisfactorily. Furthermore, deconcentration-the actual sale of assets held or controlled by the cartels-had got nowhere, partly because of Allied political differences. The committee recommended deconcentration of the plants of the I.G. Farben empire, a mainstay of the Nazi war machine. General Lucius Clay, then Military Governor of Germany, retorted that any further break-up of German enterprises "would be a political and not a security measure." His staff, which got much of the blame from the committee, was even sharper. Sneered his economic adviser Lawrence...
