Democrat Benes has the brilliance often to speak the truth, even to the public and journalists. He founded the Little Entente soon after the War; in 1933 he was able to forge this political constellation of Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Rumania into the most tightly interlocked alliance in Europe. Last week he skipped out in front of Dame Rumor with an intimation via Paris' famed Pertinax (Andre Geraud) that today the Little Entente is almost on the rocks. This is not only true but appalling to Europeans who have faith in Democracy and to others with a passion...

As the Dictator's elite guards, these have rushed about Russia, here mercilessly mowing down a peasant revolt, there breaking a strike, next subduing a mutinous Red Army unit.

...Sciences as his springboard, and from it launches into a vehement stream of reflections on the plight of the modern academic intellectual. Exposing with more vigor than originality the impotence of idealistic reformers, he concludes "If the intellectuals are faced with the alternative of continuing their search for the truth or setting the world free, they had better choose the truth or they will have neither truth not freedom." I have no intention of denying the seriousness of this problem,-it depresses us all,-but I doubt whether Mr. Rosenbloom is justified in criticizing the Tercentenary Conference on the basis...
