Said the Post: "As yet, no formal action to initiate a suit for slander has publicly been taken by Mr. Hiss . . . Mr. Hiss himself has created a situation in which he is obliged to put up or shut up ... Mr. Hiss has left himself no alternative. And each day of delay in making it known that he will avail himself of the opportunity Mr. Chambers has accorded him does incalculable damage to his reputation...
With this desperate plea for the return to a scarcity economy, the matter rested this week. Karl Marx (who in a lifetime of research never came across a single shmoo) provides an inkling of what might yet happen. "Society . . . finds itself put back into a state of momentary barbarism . . . There is too much . . . means of subsistence . . .

With German ports not yet back to normal, Bernstein's prewar route to Belgium and The Netherlands has become one of the U.S.'s main arteries to Europe.

Nothing in the account of Lanny's dealing with Roosevelt, for example, quite comes...
...Yet the Lanny Budd books have been published or are being published in Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Holland, Hungary, India, Italy, Japan, Norway, Palestine, Poland, Rumania, Sweden, Switzerland and (in a condensed form) the Soviet Union. With a picture of the U.S. which Europeans, especially Social Democrats, find entirely understandable, Sinclair is one of the two or three most popular American writers abroad...
