India, the most populous nation outside the Iron Curtain, has leaned so far backwards not being anti-Communist that she often appears to be pro. This, despite the Western trend of her economy, her parliamentary democracy, her British legal and military tradition, and her own good reasons to fear the rising might of Communist China. "We propose to keep on the closest terms with other countries," Jawaharlal Nehru insists, "unless they themselves create difficulties...
After reaching a peak of $2.8 billion in 1929, total British holdings in Canada declined slowly during the 1930s, then rapidly after the outbreak of World War II as the British sold their overseas properties to pay for the war. In 1949, the trend was reversed, and as Britons built up their dollar reserves, they turned once more to Canadian ventures. But Britain, for many years the leading outside investor in Canada, has long since yielded first place to the U.S. The British stake in Canada at the end of 1952: $1.8 billion; U.S. holdings: $8 billion...
...nearly 400 years Anglican polemics have usually backfired. The latest outburst of the Archbishop of Canterbury [TIME, Oct. 26] is likely to continue the trend.

Leonard Hall was right, but not for the reasons that Stephen Mitchell thought he was right. Rather than revealing a new trend, last week's election results retold an old story. The Republican Party has been weak for 20 years. Without the wide, bipartisan appeal of Dwight Eisenhower, the G.O.P. would have been in trouble in 1952. No party can expect the prestige or the popularity of its President to blind the voters to local shortcomings, or to make up for lack of local leadership and organization. Where it had the best of local issues and good organization work...
...thinks that the Administration has not made enough of a record so far, that there has been too much study of issues, not enough decision, that the President gave in too easily when he faced congressional obstruction from members of his own party. This does not establish a Democratic trend, but it does reduce the value of the biggest Republican asset, Eisenhower's prestige...
