But Kohl and Gorbachov will fail unless the West’s economic collapse is reversed.

‘Ridley Affair’ Is Fiasco for British Establishment
by Mark Burdman
Far from being the ravings of an isolated crank, British Trade Minister Nicholas Ridley’s comparison of West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl to Adolf Hitler was a signal that Britain’s decadent Establishment has slipped into a “Falklands War mode,” driving it to do anything it thinks might stop continental Europe from breaking with the London and New York banks.

by William Jones
After nine years of “prosperity,” not to mention “peace” breaking out all over the place, now the bad news about the economy is being used to force bipartisan agreement on fascist austerity.

In our June 22 issue (Vol. 17, No. 26), the last paragraph of the article, “Gorbachov, Yeltsin Move Toward ‘Third Rome’ model,” contained an editorial interpolation, to wit: “If Moscow follows the same course as Poland and adopts free market ‘shock therapy’ à la Adam Smith—and there are many indications that this is precisely what the Soviet leadership has in mind-it is doomed.” This sentence did not express the judgment of author, Konstantin George. In the July 20 issue, the Table of Contents inadvertently omitted to list one article, “U.S. threatens to invade South America,” on p. 39.
