...daily yield of crude oil (80,000 barrels) as great as that of its boom days in the 'gos and an output of motor oil sufficient to supply 35% of America's cars, 90% of American aircraft, 75% of streamlined trains, a substantial portion of the marine and industrial lubricants market and 20% of foreign motor oil exports - if this rate of production indicates exhaustion, your dictionary or mine needs revision...
...feel that it is very unfortunate to imply that young men who have the convictions of the American Independence League as expressed in CRIMSON editorials are short-sighted or cowardly. Such use of epithets puts us almost back to the days when even sauerkraut must be called" liberty cabbage." Their program is true Americanism.

It seems clear to me that if we fear a war with a European power or a concert of European and Asiatic powers, the thing for us to do is to let their others extend their lines of supply and fight here. If France and England couldn't help Poland, how can France, England, Germany, Italy, and Russia together invade...
