...northern region" has been headed for a housecleaning. In that speech Nasser complained that his Damascus regime had turned up a big deficit and spent all its reserves. Though he did not say so publicly, he was displeased by other developments. He had banned party politics; yet the Baath (socialist) party, the Commu nists and others went on politicking. Syrian Vice President Akram Hourani was acting more like a Prime Minister in Damascus than an executor of decisions taken in Cairo. Syrian Communists still published the newspaper Al Noor in Damascus, and embarrassed Nasser by pouring a reported...
...Heavy Cost. Grossman himself is a left-wing British Socialist who edited The God That Failed (TIME, Jan. 9. 1950), a damning indictment of Communism by former party members and fellow travelers. Taken on a conducted tour by the Chinese Reds, he was somehow persuaded that formation of the communes was actually "spontaneous and unforeseen by the State Planning Commission." Yet even the establishment of the far milder cooperative farms met with considerable opposition among Red China's peasants. In Kwangtung province alone 118.000 peasants and their families deserted cooperative farms in 1956. Peking itself admits that the establishment...

With the help of the stolid old trade-union wheel-horses who are the strength of the party, Gaitskell skillfully headed off the more headlong Socialist chargers. Hell-bent for equality, they wanted to abolish British public (i.e., private) schools, such as his own posh Winchester. They were beaten (see EDUCATION...
These dog-in-the-manager tactics succeeded in post-poning the organization of the Socialist Club until tonight, when, we hope, the Republicans will either not attend or act only as spectators. Their past performance, in attempting to stifle Harvard's political diversity, was not a pretty one. There is no need to repeat...
