The United States backed government in South Korea under Syngman Rhee governs about 67 percent of the country and leads the food producing region. Attempts by the north ruled by the Russians to force consolidation failed, with power shut off to the south and later restored, improving south Korea's energy self sufficiency and U S prestige. Russian moves toward limited cooperation show a glimmer of hope for peace and a stronger nation.
The piece argues Russians are shaped by government propaganda and lack independent information. Americans judge Russia by U S standards, while Russians may never question official Russian messaging. It predicts slow change as limited truths leak, though current Russians cling to state narratives.
The piece discusses Thomas E. Dewey planning to center his campaign on cost of living, arguing that boosting production is the traditional remedy but may be beyond politicians. It asserts the need for a statesman willing to take unpopular, courageous steps to halt further price increases, noting Democratic failings and the political challenges.
