Testimony. In answer to this Congressional call, General Hagood traveled to Washington from his headquarters at San Antonio and appeared three months ago before the House subcommittee in executive (secret) session. Congressmen plied him with questions which he answered "freely, fully and frankly." Typical Hagood testimony: "I want to say to you gentlemen that, since I came home from the World War, I have seen families of soldiers and civilian employes of the Army living under conditions worse than anything I saw among the Belgian refugees. ... In one case, at Omaha, as late as 1929 there were 16 families with...

He went on to call the administration the most remarkable political matchine of all time and summed up their political and economic philosophy as "Hell bent for election...
President Conant did the greatest service of the day in stressing the sadly-neglected difference between the class-room and committee-room. He met the challenge of defining the always clusive ideal of academic freedom by calling it, "the right of a professor to seek that which we call truth according to the best of his ability and his conscience and expound it to his students as well as he can." The legislator who proposed that the majority of the taxpayers determine just what is truth, places much more faith in the electorate than it has so far merited. Until...
