That was the gist of an unflattering report presented to the U.S. Senate by a group of American businessmen recently returned from Paris. French feelings were hurt: U.S. diplomats in France grumbled that such sweeping accusations do more harm than good.

...great U.S. wheat belt, from the panhandle of Texas to the border of Manitoba, the harvest was moving relentlessly northward. Last week the combines roared out of Nebraska and into the golden, knee-high fields of South Dakota. Although some areas were hurt by drought, the yield was generally good.

That feeling hurt De Gasperi in last month's election. Trieste is a symbol as compelling as reunification to Germans, or 54-40 to Americans of the 1840s. To Italians the word packs an emotional wallop out of all proportion to its economic importance...
