Fascism Real Foe In Europe--Ropp

The real danger in Western Europe comes from "fascism, from men like De Gaulle and the Pope," Theodore Ropp, visiting lecturer in History said last night, in a Winthrop House AVC speech on "Caccheslovakia in the World Crisis."

According to Ropp, there is no crisis at all. Just as after the last war, we are blaming ourselves for all sorts of things which are not our fault, he said. "No boundary has changed in front of or behind the iron curtain, and no country has come under Russian domination since 1945." What has occured, he says, is "consolidation" inside the East and West, and the reduction of "contrapuntal bitching" by directed revolutions.
