...Messiah which some of us thought." Socialists must not press state ownership too far, since "the state under the most democratic theory and practice will become too huge, too cumbersome . . . A completely noncompetitive society would be dull and stagnant . . . Socialism should try to stress competition for the laurel wreath rather than the sack of gold . . . But it should recognize that material progress has been furthered by competition for material reward . . . The concept of the class conflict basic to Marxism needs modification. Marx thought that the lines of division between workers and owners were becoming steadily clearer. This, however...
...presidential election is eleven months away, Filipinos have already begun to fear election anomalies-fraud, intimidation, bloodshed, and perhaps even civil war. In fact, the stakes are so high and the conflict so bitter between the incumbent Liberals under President Elpidio Quirino and the Nacionalistas under Senator José Laurel that some observ-.ers talk darkly of the danger of a coup d'etat before election day.

Laurel has repeatedly explained that his Actions were inspired by General Mac-Arthur, who sent word that he wanted him to stay behind to assuage the suffering of the Filipinos under the Japanese. Laurel has gone into detail in his memoirs but nowjj-efuses to publish them, because "I'm afra...
...Very Unkind." Suave Elpidio Quirino apparently has no intention of stepping down to make way for Magsaysay. "Doctor Laurel," he said sneeringly of Laurel's proposition, "always presumes that I will commit fraud. Very unkind of him." Quirino obviously wants to vindicate himself and his administration at the polls. Some of his followers in outlying provinces have been anything but upright, and must, indeed, regard with great fear the prospect of a change in administration after which they would probably be investigated and would possibly be jailed. A master political strategist, Quirino is busily playing up Laurel...
