Tomorrow's activities get underway at noon in Wellesley's Alumnae Hall with a keynote address by Rep. Robert Dole...
...area of France's old Indo-China empire (he keeps suggesting a "neutralized" Viet Nam, hinted last week that France may establish diplomatic relations with Communist North Viet Nam). But whether Paris will fill the gap to be left by the elimination of a $30 million annual U.S. dole remains to be seen.

"Christ drove the moneychangers out of the temple," he snarled at the Tories, "but you inscribe their title deeds on the altar cloth." The trouble was that his fellow Laborites were not really Socialists. When capitalism, in Depression-time phrase, "went bankrupt," Ramsey Macdonald's Socialist government got cold feet...
