...split between the Allies was caused by French and British fear of German competition in export markets if the mark were devalued. François-Poncet argued with a straight face that he did not want the German people to lose faith in their money. Robertson, perhaps even more afraid of Germany's competitive potential, sat snug as François-Poncet carried the ball...
...read (they have one of Asia's highest literacy rates-40%), but it did not teach them how to rule themselves. Viet Nam has many ambitious politicians with loose personal followings. The most remarkable of these is perky little Ho Phap, self-styled pope of Caodaism, a faith (founded by him in 1926) which combines belief in everything from Confucianism to Christianity.

...feel that communists are especially desirable on a faculty. My faith, if there is any left to me, is in the undogmatic mind, the mind free to exam data without pro-conclusion and to aim for the conclusion implicit in the data itself. No party-liner--communist, catholic, bible-fundamentalist, shintoist, or what you will-is wholly free to observe this process, and to the extent that he is not free he is undesirable as an instructor in most courses, particularly in those courses where the nature of the material seeks to discover questions rather than mechanical answers...
