...Speaking of the nineteenth century philosopher Renan, whose centenary has just been celebrated, M. France said that " he (Kenan) would have been shocked to see that so cruel a war was followed by a treaty which does not end it, which is nothing but the organization of disorder, hatred, discord and poverty in unfortunate Europe." Coming at such a time it is a deftly veiled disapproval of Poincare's policy in the Ruhr, but not too deft for the French public to seize upon...
...Advocate and the CRIMSON were both fortnightly magazines, "journals of opinion," controversy waxed hot between them. Each was the other's particular scorn, and their feuds filled editorial and communication columns with inky battles.

Of course, I believe that conditions will return to normal eventually, but that day is very far off, unless both capital...
...spoke of the world-wide movement of the Soviet government to spread propaganda and sow discord. "There never was a time in the history of this country when there was so much need for red-blooded Americanism. The Soviet government is responsible for the Wall Street bomb, and they paid, for that. And if I had my way about it, I'd index every alien in this country; and for those who are seeking, to overthrow the country, I'd drive them out and send them back where they belong". In speaking of the younger generation, Mr. Burns said...
