Brinton Attacks Bertrand Russell For Article Criticizing Americans

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Brinton's article entitled "Should the British Nag Us?", decries Russell's use of "half-truths." Russell "just does not seem to have a grasp of reality" on the matters of Korea, American attitudes toward the British Labor government, and what Britons and Americans have invented, stated Brinton.

He concluded that British-American relations should be improved by understanding, not lecturing and nagging.
