A.C. Sedgwick . reporting from Greece, noted that even though the Left had garnered only 25% of the vote in recent election, fear persisted, with good reason, that the Communists again would attempt a revolution. The country soon was locked into a three-year civil war in which the US and Britain aided the conservatives, the Yugoslavians provided support to the Communists and the Soviets played a somewhat ambivalent role. It ended with the imposition of a right wing military dictatorship supported by the West.

Lansing Warren wrote about the Spanish government in exile in Paris. He noted that little news had trickled out of Spain since France had closed the borders but there was little evidence to support the claims of the exiles that there was sufficient support for them in Spain to challenge Franco's government. Warren and his wife, along with other American correspondents, consular officers and Red Cross workers who had been in Paris when America entered the war were held by the Nazis in an internment camp for 16 months.

Lindesay Parrott reported from Japan on the recent election, noting that 70 percent of eligible voters went to the polls and that the transition to democracy went smoothly.

Michael L. Hoffman reported on the high financial cost of Britain's move toward Socialism.

Frank L. Kluckhohn wrote from Argentina that the world need for food and trade had put recently elected Juan Peron in a strong bargaining position . The US had imposed trade restrictions on Argentina but seemed more willing to negotiate now with the Argentine strong man. Kluckhohn wrote that Peron could not overplay his hand since his country needed the world's business as much as the world needed Argentina. A Russian delegation had recently paid a visit. Kluckhohn had previously covered the Loyalist side during the Spanish Civil War and the Mexican government's nationalization efforts. He had a habit of being kicked out of the countries he covered. In later years his reputation as a journalist was sullied by his association with the Liberty Lobby, a far right group with anti-Semitic and racist elements. Kluckhohn moved well to the right in the postwar years and the Liberty Lobby recruited him to expose supposedly biased news reporting by the mainstream media, especially his former employer, The Times. His efforts were denounced in a series of articles by columnist Drew Pearson, who labeled the Liberty League a neo-Nazi organization. Kluckhohn also authored a couple of books attacking LBJ.
