More than two years after the overthrow of Tyrant Gerardo Machado, Cuba last week went to the polls in boredom, suspicion and disgust, to elect a President, a Congress, provincial Governors and mayors. Cuba had had no election at all for eight years, no election even moderately honest for 20. Most politicos, who preferred their own voices to the people's votes, had made certain that last week's election would prove as little as possible.

Premier Laval, being his own Foreign Minister, could not make himself his own scapegoat. He is the engineer of no political steam roller but an Independent.

...trials of Mahatma Gandhi in 1935. Readers who do not share her passionate hatred of Hindu ways are likely to remain unimpressed by her purple prose, her tirades against native terrorists and agitators. Holding that "terrorism" in India is now devoted to the "overthrow of any non-Communist government . . . by multiplication of single murders, by mass killings," she lists a number of atrocities, suggests that Gandhi's essential purpose is the extermination of the Muslim population, ends with a fervent plea that Mohammedans may not be provoked to attack the British as a result of Hindu intrigues...
