...Border Statesman had won a great victory. Statesmanlike, he gave no impression of having done so. But at a critical moment in world history, the Havana Conference proved that the Western Hemisphere, despite internal rivalries that might be exploited by foreign interests, could unite to meet an immediate danger, to ward off a future menace. Before the Conference met, each Latin-American complication, from the fate of the French Island of Martinique to Nazi activities in Uruguay, was a source of U. S. anxiety; after the Conference the prevailing belief was that the U. S. southern flank was se cured...
...Statesman & Nation took up the same cudgel, laid it on with a different intent. It hoped by the removal of Lord Halifax to facilitate democratic "counterrevolution" against Hitlerism throughout the Continent (TIME, July 22).

...Either we turn this war into a war of European revolution or we shall be defeated," wrote New Statesman and Nation last week in calling the democratic-minded of all countries to arms. "There is no halfway house. Against the brute force of Hitler no mere material forces or military power will prevail. But against the idea for which Hitler stands . . . the revolutionary idea can prevail. . . . With that war aim as our strategy, the defense of this island takes on a new form. Britain becomes the rallying point of revolutionary forces all over Europe and beyond its frontiers. . . . The Nazi...
