Mold for a Secular Stereotype

Mold for a Secular Stereotype eastern Europe since 1945 are comparable only to the orgies of murder and expropriation accompanying the Mongol and Turkish invasions of those lands centuries ago. The past fifteen years have seen a catastrophe of epochal proportions—one of history’s great shipwrecks. And yet one searches in vain for some intimation that Mr. Gunther has really grasped the significance and extent of this gigantic tragedy.

On the other hand, the Liberal Conscience is unforgetting and unforgiving of the sins of Horthy and Dollfuss and Pilsudski a generation ago, and Mr. Gunther’s first care is to prosecute the old vendetta. Poland? We find that Gomulka has done more for peasants than Pilsudski did, even though it is freely admitted that not one of the Red satellite regimes could survive a free election today. Not even Gomulka’s.
