...along with Neville Chamberlain, spoke for Allied appeasement at Hitler's Munich. Daladier is not a Communist or even a Socialist; he is a member of the moderate, right-of-center Radical Socialists. And on the Indo-China question he spoke for many a Frenchman who would violently reject the label of appeaser...
This is not the neutralism of cowards or mugwumps. It is an assertion of the right of civilized and free men to reject doctrinaire absolutism, to judge issues on their merits, and to put forward constructive alternatives. Nehru in Asia and the democratic socialists of Britain and Western Europe may be more useful as intermediaries than as crusaders. After all, we agree on some issues with either side: with the Russians, we reject what seems to us the jungle philosophy of big-business capitalism; we stress political liberties as strongly as the Americans do-or did before...
...Long before the printing press was invented, literate men and women were putting their thoughts on paper in the cursive or script penmanship that has continued to be used to this day...It remained for Brookline with its still-to-be-justined passion for progressive education to reject the writing method preferred by the civilized world and to substitute a system that bears a striking similarity to the crude hieroglyphics of the ancient Phoenicians.

They condemn Adenauer as a U.S. puppet and call him "Chancellor of the Allies"; they reject EDC as likely to delay German unity, but when the chips are down, they stand squarely with the West. The Socialists polled 7,000,000 votes in the 1949 election. This time they hope to do better, yet in their speeches at their rallies, something big is missing. It is the great voice and flashing eye of the late Kurt Schumacher (TIME, June 9, 1952), the only man in postwar Germany who could measure...
