...present pulling and straining of the Soviet satellites, anxious to get into the only prospect that offers Europe hope, attests the wisdom of the latter argument-from a. Soviet standpoint. Where will Poland find a market for her coal? How can the Russians pay Czechoslovakia for quality factory products? When Molotov at Paris broke Europe along the Stettin-Trieste line, most of the best insurance risks, most of 'he countries with high labor productivity, were not on Molotov's side of the line.

In advanced courses, hour exams are often totally unsuited to the nature of the plan of study, with the result that they form an artificial and thoroughly unfair method of measuring student ability. Tutors find that their tutees have to abandon tutorial work for a period of a week or more in order to prepare for hour exams. And finally, many members of the Faculty, working within the constrictions of the war-shortened semester, find that the necessity for giving hour exams further reduces...
