...companies they run are, variously, monuments of socialist tradition, nationalist pride or the turbulence of the Depression and World War II. In France, state ownership of industry is estimated to be 20% or more. One lingering result of Mussolini's corporate state is that modern Italian businessmen must operate in an economy where more than one-third of business is controlled by the government. In Germany, Hitler's Third Reich started Volkswagen to produce his "people's car," but it made war vehicles instead and is still 40% state-owned. Governments control every major European airline-because...
...stump, Lesage alternately roused crowds with shafts aimed at the Union Nationale's aromatic past ("Purgatory has not lasted long; hellfire is needed to purge them!"), and lectured to them on his nationalist theme that French Canada must come of age economically. His key issue was nationalization of Quebec's eleven private power companies. The opposition cried socialism, but drew little response in a nation where six of the ten provinces have 100% public power. Quebec's private companies operate mostly in rural areas, and, cried Lesage. do not have the resources to provide first-class service...
...China's admission to the U.N. was proposed once again by Russia's Valerian Zorin, despite the much-heralded Moscow-Peking split.

Even without repeats, the popular winner by far was Nationalist Kenneth Kaunda, 38, whose United National Independence Party drew 65,000 votes with its slogan, "Kwacha!" (Dawn), and its appeal for more black power. But Kaunda won only 14 seats, and Welensky's United Federal Party, with one-third of the votes, won 15. The African National Congress of roisterous Harry Nkumbula, Kaunda's ex-mentor, won five seats. Ten seats were left vacant because too few voters...
...point was eloquently voiced in the United Nations by Nationalist China's Representative Liu Chieh, in a retort to Soviet Delegate Valerian Zorin. "Weapons," said Liu, "cannot be intrinsically differentiated into good ones and bad ones, but the man who carries the weapons can be easily differentiated. A revolver in the hands of a gangster is not the same thing as a revolver in the top drawrer of a peaceful citizen. Whether a person is a gangster or a peaceful citizen depends on his record. And what a criminal record international Communism has written for itself in recent years...
