President Kennedy, eager to prove himself as good a neighbor as Franklin Roosevelt before him, decided to use this week's White House reception for Latin American diplomats as one more place to stress his own favored slogan, "Alliance for Progress." To the President, the hemisphere's alliance must be a two-way street, with U.S. cash and technical assistance matched by Latin American self-help and selfdiscipline. Before him was an emergency request for $20 million to shore up Bolivia's chronically collapsing economy. Kennedy's response was to send a team of economic experts...
From Broun's first article on the case: To me, the tragedy of the conviction of Sacco and Vanzetti lies in the fact that this was not done by crooks and knaves. In that case, we could have a campaign with a slogan "throw the rascals out" and set up for a year or two a reform Administration. Nor have I had much patience with those who would like to punish [Judge] Thayer by impeachment or any other process. Unfrock him and his judicial robes would fall upon a pair of shoulders not different by the thickness of a fingernail...
...proven instances of communist activity. Venezuela and Japan, for example, are by no means simply cases of Red agitation. And the San Francisco demonstrations, whatever their real cause, were not explained in the very bad and very distorted film made by the HUAC. Subsuming all such riots under the slogan "communist penetration of youth organizations" does not augur well for "Communist Target Youth" as a reliable documentary...
...once more deny, as I have found it repeatedly necessary to do in other cases, that this nation's ability to preserve itself depends upon suppression of the freedoms of religion, speech, press, assembly and petition. But I do believe that the noble-sounding slogan of "self-preservation" rests upon a premise that can itself destroy any democratic nation by a slow eating away at the liberties that are indispensable to its healthy growth. The very foundation of true democracy and the foundation upon which this country was built is the fact that government is responsive to the views...
...have not the least idea what "gradual and relentless authoritarianism" is, but in any case it has far more the air of a conservative slogan than of a clear, analytic position. In other words, Advance's categorizations won't do; the magazine is fat with the standard phraseology of the men they profess to reject. It is not so harsh as that of the National Review, but it is all here: "reckless spending," "aggrandisement of federal power," and even "Big government." And there is also an original Dowling carton: "Labor Leaders" and "Liberal Experimenters" and "Spenders" sit grinning...
