...last the British had no choice but to take control of their race-torn little South American colony. After five months of continued violence between 295,000 East Indians, led by Marxist Premier Cheddi Jagan, and 190,000 Jagan-hating Negroes, Britain's Governor Sir Richard Luyt announced that he was assuming emergency power in British Guiana to prevent further bloodshed. He also ordered the arrest and detention of 35 leading troublemakers-all but two of them members of lagan's People's Progressive Party. Temporarily at least, Cheddi Jagan and his Communism-spouting wife Janet were...
...Poland's Oskar Lange, who lived in the U.S. during the 1930s and 1940s, took U.S. citizenship but renounced it after the war, and is now a deputy chairman of the Polish Council of State. In a mildly heretical mood, Lange declared last month: "Marxist political economics originated as a criticism of capitalism. It was not concerned with details of running an economy." While many of the Western economists call for increased planning, Lange's idea of vitalizing a Communist economy is to eliminate much central planning and introduce a full-scale market economy dominated by the profit...
Loudest skeptics are Europe's leftists, who will not be dissuaded from their original conviction that Marxist Lee Harvey Oswald was the unwitting tool or the scapegoat of some well-oiled, darker rightist conspiracy, and then was silenced by Jack Ruby. This impression was fed by the bad assumptions made by many reporters and commentators in the first minutes after the assassination in conservative Dallas, and it has never been fully erased.

Actually, British Guiana's Marxist husband and wife team have themselves busily stirred up racial trouble by calling on East Indians to support "to the death" Cheddi's demand for immediate independence from Britain. And they contributed mightily to the current flare-up by calling East Indian sugar workers out on a strike during which nonstriking Negro field hands were beaten and murdered. Negroes have fled from heavily East Indian villages, and streams of East Indians from Negro-dominated areas have poured into refugee camps near the Georgetown capital. The prospect is for further polarization and violence...
Fuentes is at his least effective when the blunt weapons of Marxist homiletic fall heaviest. This occurs in impressionistic italic inserts in Artemio Cruz's dying reveries, and is a curious exercise in reportage in the manner of the early Dos Passes-a novelist still admired in Mexico, where the cult of proletarianism, dead elsewhere, lives...
