Danish, Swedish and Dutch delegates to the conference congratulated Phillips on his speech. At home, many British Laborites also agreed with him. Said one: "[At] our present stage in history, when everyone must determine between the fundamentals of democracy and dictatorship, we've got to drop the comparatively shallow discriminations that once seemed important." Outside the Labor Party, Britons were not so pleased. Said one Tory: "It's no use Labor putting on the bridal...

Along the shores of captive Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, the U.S.S.R. has laid down heavy rocket installations and submarine pens, and has girdled them all with high-powered...
That same day, in Hong Kong, 83 Shanghailanders (including four U.S. citizens) walked down the gangplank of a Danish freighter and onto British soil. The travelers had gone by rail from Shanghai 700 miles north to Tientsin and thence 900 miles south to Hong Kong by ship. Their report on Communist Shanghai described a slowly dying city...
