Nevertheless, University officials will roast over a fire of their own kindling. For -- again on the merits of bare facts -- the Communist leader should have been allowed to speak at Harvard in accordance with the earlier permit, in spite of his subsequent indictment. The case of the John Reed Society is considerably more convincing than the case of Mr. Greene. There is even a precedent which denies the stand taken by the University. In 1920, Norman Thomas--on trial before the New Yorks courts for violating a city speech ordinance,--was nevertheless granted permission to speak at Harvard...

Unlike most pictures about Russian Reds, this one is neither crude clowning nor crude prejudice, but a literate and knowingly directed satire which lands many a shrewd crack about phony Five Year Plans, collective farms, Communist jargon and pseudo-scientific gab where it will do the most good-on the funny bone...
