...Brussels, at a meeting of the Socialist International, leaders of most of Western Europe's Socialist parties last week made it clear that they believed principle to be on the side of the anti-Gaullists. De Gaulle, argued Britain's Hugh Gaitskell sternly, had come to power by "a fundamentally undemocratic procedure." The International, insisted West Germany's Erich Ollenhauer, "must take a position against De Gaulle." "We cannot be silent," echoed Aneurin Bevan...
Premier Kishi, with big-business backing, is in no mood to tolerate Socialist monkey business, nor is he apt to be too tolerant of the intriguing that has gone on inside his own Cabinet and party. Standing in front of a row of potted plants, Kishi pointedly remarked to a reporter: "These plants were all selected by a master gardener, but some are not perfect under the surface.

...Jerusalem that Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion proclaimed sprang from Zionist and Socialist dreams in 19th century European ghettos.

The Sabras, the native-born...
...beginnings, nonetheless, were undeniably socialist. A Land Authority began to enforce an old law limiting corporate sugar holdings to 500 acres, broke up the big mainland-owned companies, formed collective-like "proportional profit" cane plantations. A TVA-style Water Resources Authority took over power production from several private power companies, and began wide-scale irrigation as well. Using $10.7 million in treasury funds, Fomento built or took over factories to make cement, glass and cardboard (for rum bottles and cases), shoes, tile...
