...President Eisenhower prepares this week's State of the Union Message, the time is overripe for a new translation of the American theme-freedom through order. Does it make contemporary sense that Europe continues as a fractured continent, no part of which is able to sustain industrial mass production or even to defend itself? Does it make sense that Arabs and Israelis continue to defy the law by prolonging a quarrel that neither can win? Does it make sense that Asia, wishing only for national freedom and economic progress, is allowed to drift toward slavery and reaction...
