...departure of Haya did not necessarily mean the end of Aprismo. It was still a large and tightly knit movement. Peru, a politically backward country, had no mass party to take its place. But Haya's future was something else. His own disciples had begun to criticize him. Nobody could forget that in the party's first long stretch underground (1936-45), the redoubtable chieftain had led his anti-Communist leftists from inside Peru without once being caught. But now, many Peruvians felt that it would be miraculous if he ever came back. Said an Aprista...
...after a brief Republican hiatus, the movement towards a human welfare society in America will continue." I do not maintain that the 80th Congress charged headlong into the millennium. 1946-48 represent years in which America could consolidate her position. The proliferation of government agenefes, bureaus, corporations, departments, etc. since 1932 alarms even Democrats--yet screams of anguish arise (from the CRIMSON) when a year passes without the usual bales of half-baked legislation.

Transformation. By last week the Davis movement was receiving letters at the rate of 400 a day. From Savoy, in the southeast, a hysterical woman wrote: "I think you must be Christ returned."

We should not be doing this by first doubting the sincerity of Garry Davis." This Communist gobbledygook could be translated as: "The Davis movement is useful to us, can be more useful. The order is-infiltrate...
Stony Road. If the Communists should get control of the Davis movement, that would be its finish as a popular crusade, for it now gets most of its strength from the fact that its ideas are tied to no national policy. If the people who support it have any one common denominator, it is that their longing for peace is so strong as to upset reason and good sense. Their thirst for peace blinds them to the fact that the only way to peace is a stony road which involves constant risk of war. If a popular peace movement should...
