With the failure of Alan Gottlieb's referendum for an A.S.U. condemnation of Stalin's Finnish rape comes a crisis in the affairs of the Harvard Student Union. Will it cling to the coattails of discredited fellow members in the Communist-dominated American Student Union? Or will it cut loose from the national body and steer by its own star...
...matter how many furies may frown or how fierce may be the bludgeonings of fate, I shall continue with a persevering faith to cling to those ideals which those great Americans who have gone before us gave unto us. ...

Whatever one may think of those stubborn fanatics who still cling to the twisting tail of the party line, I do not believe that there need be any confusion "about the role of the communist in a liberal coalition." The role of the communist has always been a strictly disciplined progress along the narrow path of his party's policy. Previous to August 1939 this policy happened to coincide largely with that of these individuals who are perforce vaguely termed liberals. The H. S. U. meeting was but one indication of the fact that these two policies no longer coincide...
