Last week the party came apart. Accusing the left-wingers of being "proCommunist and anti-American while pretending to be neutralist," Right-Wing Leader Sue-hiro Nishio took 30 Socialist Diet members with him and set up a new "Democratic Socialist Party." Nishio is a coldly aloof onetime foundry foreman who organized one of Japan's first labor unions. He made it clear that his new party would have no time for "the proletarian revolution" and class war, would attempt to offer Japan's growing middle class as well as its laborers a non-Marxist alternative...

It's a problem that the news people will have to solve themselves. I have no right to decide what newsmen go with the President to Russia, and I don't want that right. That must be decided by the news media. But unless we straighten out this problem, we'll have nothing but chaos. And chaos can lead only to the weakening...
