ABSTRACT
The Soviet threat to the West is the most important political fact of our day. Yet many hearts–and even heads–in America, Europe, and India are still crammed with neutralist or even fellow-traveler sentiments. For any serious crusader against the neutralist opiate and the fellow-traveler poison America's anti-Communism must logically be accompanied by its democratic correlative: a rebirth of the anti-fascist spirit, not as pious lip-service only but as an inspiring foreign policy. The New Statesman un-liberally refused to print a letter from Richard Strout refuting their anti-American slanders. The Nation, the New Statesman, and the Lumpen-intellectuals have a hard time finding an American reactionary menace to cancel out the Russian radical menace. Many sincere democrats in Europe, India, and America applaud the neutralist baitings of our foreign policy as if these were attacks on irrational militarism or McCarthyism. In America in Partisan Review, the New Leader, the Roman Catholic Commonweal, and the American Jewish Committee-sponsored Commentary.
