...Young Democracy" (Perhaps the name should be "Young Bolshevism"), a new radical sheet published in New York, has revived the whole wretched business of the hazing of our Freshman Bolshevik under the caption "Hitting Heresy at Harvard." The article tells the story of the hazing, the stand of the Harvard Liberal Club, and quotes the CRIMSON's editorial which said "Freedom of conscience is one of the principles for which Harvard has always stood." So far these youthful gentlemen have no fault to find. They continue by stating the steps that the University has taken to safeguard free speech...
...speaks the Oracle, under the caption, "A Blow to Harvard," and thereby shows an unparalleled capacity for sweeping generalization. But cooler and more sensible persons will not take fright.

This proves to be a report of my discussion of the Armament question at the Harvard Union on March 3. What I did in fact urge was that there is not the least reason for increasing armaments. The present war is, in my opinion, the outcome of the long series of conflicts of interest attending the era of colonial expansion, now practically closed. We never had a serious conflict of interest in this field, and consequently were not menaced...
