Hamilton Holt has said, in substance, that one cannot study international relationship without becoming a convert to the idea of a league. This is true. The importance of some of the international questions already decided by The Hague Court has been underestimated. Included among these are the right to fly the flag (Muscat Dhows case) and the very serious question between France and Germany relating to deserters at Casa Blanca.

How can a small group of men who have failed in keeping alive Harvard's undergraduate literary traditions presume to sneer out of existence a publication of real literary promise? It is merely another attempt by the "vested...
