...Tribune is not for sale. This in formation will be a disappointment to 'leaders of thought' in New York and Washington ... to Mr. Dewey and the rest of the New Deal Republicans . . . It will be a disappointment to political thieves, regardless of party, to the Communists, to corrupt labor bosses, to the Socialists, the planners and the Big Government boys. We hope that you will continue to enjoy the Tribune...
Next day Moscow put out a blast against Thailand's "venal, corrupt, half-Fascist" government. From Washington came gloomy predictions of the next Red move: to campaign for an "Autonomous Thai Federation," which is already organized among the Thais who live inside South China. This grouping is designed to embrace 1,100,000 Laotians and 3,700,000 Cambodians (many of Thai stock), in addition to the 19 million Thais of Thailand. As such, it would make a handsome Red jewel to set beside a Viet Nam run by Ho Chi Minh...
Murmurs of Dissent.

There are screaming nerves in it. Its father is not an animal maleness, but some sort of diseased...
Neutralism v. Isolationism. In France, where many newspapers are helped by hidden government or party subsidies and many are corrupt, L'Express is a postwar journalistic oddity. Confident, alert Editor Servan-Schreiber got the weekly off to a fast start a year ago by printing in its second issue a parliamentary report on Indo-China that the shaky government had asked other papers not to print. L'Express grew steadily, now runs some of the leading writers in France. Editor Servan-Schreiber is a friendly critic of U.S. foreign policy, bridles at being called a "neutralist," and says...
