Abstract

The Shape of Things

This article focuses on several socio-political issues. Some four thousand Basque children, refugees from Spain's civil war, many of them fresh from the horror of Guernica and other towns bombed by German airmen, have arrived in England, where they have become the objects of touching care on the part of the British government and various social organizations. The U.S. with twenty-one million Catholics, has so far shown no comparable eagerness to take a quota of children. Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, deserves the honor of being the scene of the first big elections in the steel industry under the Wagner Labor Relations Act. And Aliquippa, after thirty years of company unions, company houses, company stool pigeons, and a company directorship fortunately outside the experience of most Americans.
