This vote, undoubtedly, would go against the Housemasters and they would be forced to resign. Of course, some might be retained in a coalition ministry, but only if they would go along with the peoples' delegates on this vital issue. Abramson, Scher, Brachman, and Hofeld must dominate this new ministry; they must not be the unwilling dupes of a rejuvenated and rampant conservatism. The more outspoken critics of progress (and they whom we mean) would have to be purged, and perhaps even exiled to Peterbourough...
...precincts are wavering. For instance, in Roxbury's Jewish and Negro Ward 12, a white Democrat faces a Negro Republican. The Republicans, of course, hope to sway the Negro vote, while the Democrats are concentrating on holding the line by playing up the rent control issue. These precincts are vital for either side to win. Stevenson supporters figure that he must carry Boston by at least 125,000 votes if he is to secure the state's 16 electoral votes. In 1952, Stevenson had a margin of only 67,000 votes in Boston and, as a result, Eisenhower with...
...outspoken anger, and in France U.S. prestige sank. Already disillusioned by U.S. "equivocation" over Suez and profoundly worried by France's isolation in her desperate colonial problem. Frenchmen should not have been surprised to learn that the U S. a Pacific as well as an Atlantic power had vital interests differing with those of its Anglo-French allies. Perhaps they were not surprised, but many were prompted into an awareness that their soundest hope for help in time of trouble would be a union of like, i.e., European, interests. The weightiest and most specific step toward integration, however...
...outlined last week, the British plan was still mostly yeast in the vat of the future. The Cabinet, Macmillan emphasized, "has not yet arrived at a conclusion on this vital matter." There were strong reasons for the government's hesitation. British entry into a European free-trade area would involve painful adjustments. While some factories would prosper and expand, others would go out of business-a prospect to send cold chills down the spine of many a British industrialist. Some labor leaders were sure to make a fist at the very suggestion of even temporary disruptions of employment...
Defense Dogma. What about the industry that insists that it is vital to national defense? The watch manufacturers won tariff increases up to 50% in 1954 on the argument that the U.S. has to maintain at least 4,000 watchmakers to turn out military timing devices in case of war. Yet Bidwell found that domestic production of sensitive jeweled watches continued to slump even after the tariff rise, and "it is doubtful whether the present level of import duties will guarantee that watches will be produced at a level which defense authorities would consider adequate." In any case, he said...
