The piece urges the United States to aid new nations in choosing a path to security and prosperity through a stronger United Nations rather than falling under Soviet influence.

Labor backing not foolproof in congressional races
Washington analysis shows labor endorsement aided about 60 percent of cases while opposition helped only 2 percent. Purges by unions failed in 1960, with most endorsed candidates winning either way. COPE and DRIVE claimed around 60 percent success, but overall impact was limited as AFL-CIO and Teamsters supported only fractions of contests and many races depended on other factors.

Future shaping abroad by Marlow analysis of transitions
James Marlow notes the outgoing Eisenhower and incoming Kennedy will influence policy abroad as much as at home. He observes Congress, controlled by Democrats, may not act on Eisenhower’s State of the Union or budget. Kennedy likely issues his own messages after Jan. 20, while Eisenhower trims agency spending to Truman levels.
