...Republican chance to keep the Governorship depends upon the success of the formula that has brought them victory over the last twelve years. The formula, which shows a keen insight into the New York electorate, is compounded of two elements: ethnic and economic.

Having accepted state socialism since 1910, New York voters expect their parties to offer the full bundle of social welfare programs.

Nehru does not want to become a partner with Chiang Kai-shek or Syngman Rhee, and the feeling is mutual. Rhee is not keen to sup with the Japanese; neither are the Australians. The U.S. is not anxious to bind itself to defend precarious and far-off regimes on Asia's southern shores. France wants to include Indo-China in the area protected by the alliance; Britain says it is already too late...
