...your issue of March 2, you correctly quote some remarks I made in a new pamphlet I wrote for the League for Industrial Democracy on the subject of democratic socialism. Nevertheless . . . you . . . tend to give a rather distorted point of view of my opinions. Thus I insist that the dominant principle in a good society must be cooperation and that cooperation requires planning in which the state must play a great role.

...Senator has always headed the committee. The first chairman, in the Republican 80th Congress, was Iowa's steady, hard-working Bourke B. Hickenlooper. In the Democratic 81st, Connecticut's yeasty Brien McMahon took over, to serve until he died last July.

Development of a European army will drag until this bickering is terminated...
Instead of forcing a premature showdown, Dulles could help settle the vital dispute. France demands some safeguard from a future attack by Germany. Dulles could give them this protection by assuring the French of aid in the event of attack. This would hardly slur the Germans, who insist they will never attack anyway. As the Administration has linked America's fate with that of Europe, this French guarantee would entail no major change of policy. By taking this step Dulles could save EDC from months of internal wrangling and place European rearmament one step nearer completion...
