This week Monty was to address the English-Speaking Union in Manhattan, publicly and in more general terms. But the nub of his message was the same: that the West could not allow old rancors to divide it against the greater threat of the East.

Matters had hardly gotten to that extreme stage yet. A closer danger was that Republican diehards in the Midwest seize on the defeat of Internationalist John Foster Dulles as one more proof that the bipartisan foreign policy was a political albatross...
