Idealism & Trade. Laborite Britain was not neutralist on Korea. We jumped in to back the American initiative-admittedly with far smaller forces. We know how grievous American casualties in Korea have been; they could have been less grievous if General MacArthur had not raced north to the Yalu frontier and provoked the Chinese into crossing it. This was, in our view, the point at which the concept of the police action to deter aggression lost its validity...

Negroes who tried to chat with their white friends were told: "You can't talk to them in America; why talk to them here?" For two hours a day, the Negroes were lectured on the Negro problem in the U.S. Pfc. Alfred Simpson, a Negro from Philadelphia, said the men were encouraged to speak out freely in discussion groups, but were punished if they...
