they saw that it was of new American make,
they gave shrill admiring whistle, like the
kind American sailors make when they see
pretty girl on the street. With astonish-
ment they noted the radiator grill, the mag
nificent dashboard, the countless gadgets.
Then, very often, we were questioned
about the progress of television in America,
which people in Europe know only as a
sort of legend.
PERHAPS these things seem small and un-
important. But to me they are significant.
Looking back at my "Motor-Car Test" l
feel there was something important in the
words and acts of all those simple people in
the village squares Here is how would
explain it:
After many years of war and its after
math, all these people have become dis
gusted with politics and skeptical of nearly
everything which touches their present lives.
The only thing they now live for is the hope
of miracle. And they believe that such a
miracle can come only from Russia or the
United States.
AS to Russia, the prestige of that country
is dwindling steadily. 1t is only natural, for
munism in practice. Nearly everywhere
there was some town with a Communist
mayor. And people saw how such leaders
misused the power given them during the
Liberation. Yes, one thing people know now
is that, under Communists, bread can be
just as hard to earn as before And far from
having the heavenly taste which people
childishly expected, it is a thousand times
more bitter, because it is soaked in the
vinegar OF deception.
l HE American legend, on the other hand,
is growing steadily. During the war, Europe
got its first glimpse of America soverwhelm-
ing technical efficiency. Now the rumors of
Americas high standard Of living are con-
firmed by new facts every day.
Just one of many such facts was the sight
VI Oul ThllSI lIdli Sdl l y IuIOTeQS OF Doodle
in the squares of old Mediterranean villages
it made real the dream of standard of life
which now exists only in America. 1t was
the symbol of miracle.
hope with all my heart that America
can make the miracle come true. l hope
that America with its great technical skill,
can revive the ailing body of Europe. If 50,
l predict that grateful Europe will unite
its destiny, its spirit and its soul with the
New World With such union of spiritual
and material forces, there can then be
thrilling Renaissance of Western Civiliza-
ton. Without it, see the world becoming
vast and melancholy desert, peopled onlv
by dreary and impoverished collective farms
amid the fossilized remains of refrigerators
and the phantoms of washing machines.

"WHADDYA READ?" Much as we like
the newspaper business, we feel that in com.
parison with some journals we have recently
come across the names of most American
papers lack sparkle and imagination. Take
Africa Nigeria has newspaper, we are told,
