It is because Professor Wirt is an important figure in American educational spheres that his story has attracted auch widespread attention and comment. But only quite recently, two journalists well-known in Washington have attacked the present Administra tion from a somewhat similar starting point. Mr. Mark Sullivan, close friend of Mr. Herbert Hoover, credited with, unswerving support of the Hoover policies, has declared his bellof that the United Staten is being gradually led into Socialism or collectivism no ho prefers to call it.
