...Korean who has lived through WW II, the current events in Red China [Sept. 2] are too vividly reminiscent of the prewar hysteria in Nazi Germany and imperial Japan. Both regimes sought scapegoats in what were considered to be foreign elements in their cultural, economic, religious and racial framework, and sought to justify their war effort as a national crusade against them. If the current frenzy in Red China is indeed the sign of a country preparing for war, God help...
...dependence, Mo., Harry Truman, 82 years old, waning in strength but still attentive to the nation's problems, watched the situation with growing alarm. A lifelong "easy money" man, Truman recalled his bitter struggle with the Federal Reserve Board to keep interest rates down during the Korean War. Moreover, he believes with a conviction bordering on passion that Government bonds, as the symbol of Washington's good faith, should never be allowed to sell under par-and he saw them plummeting far below par as investors sought higher interest rates elsewhere.

...desperate intent to rekindle a revolutionary spirit in a country that he fears has gone flabby. But was there even more than that to Red China's present contortions?

But while they still provided some bite, the paper had no molars. Able reporters and rewritemen, a paper's lifeblood, were vanishing. Star Reporter Bigart, back from Korea, was appalled at the change and defected to the Times...
Seeking a Scapegoat. No investigation is needed to establish the major point: for the first time since the inflationary Korean War period, food prices are climbing faster than overall retail prices. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, food has gone up by 3½% in the past year; meat, fish and poultry 7½%, dairy products 5½%. Local situations dramatize the difficulty. In Chicago last week the retail price of butter was 93? per lb., up 12½? from last year. In Detroit, lettuce has gone from 20? a head to 29?, cabbage from...
