...France, the Communists control the biggest union of them all. The Communist-dominated Confederation General du Travail (CGT) claims 4,000,000 members, probably has at least 2,000,000, and occupies strategic positions throughout French industry and transport. It has long outgunned and outshouted a cluster of loosely joined non-Communist trade unions boasting about 1,500,000 members. But last week the Communist unions suffered a stunning defeat...
...Both Edgar Faure and Mendes-France, old friends who are now open enemies, belong to the same center party, the Radicals, but while Faure holds office by getting the right to support the center, Mendes-France wants to regain office by uniting left and center.

Ideally, Congress should repeal portions of these laws that may have injured the non-Communist more than the true subversive. Yet even the present period of freer speech and fewer book-burnings cannot erase the usual Congressional dislike of making an about-face to repeal its own laws. Regardless of the particular merits or demerits of these and other anti-subversive laws, Congress should...
