...head of an impoverished country with the bulk of the working class opposed and the nations which sent him troops clamoring for return favors. Another powder barrel may be put in the magazine of Europe. The alternative is an armistice while the outcome of the war is still in doubt, and the erection of a moderate government to avoid the excesses either side might commit if victorious. However dream-like and impossible this solution may prove to be, it is at least a straw for Europe to clutch...
...remarks was his effort to interpret the past month's developments on the financial, labor, and judicial fronts in the light of the beginnings of a serious monetary inflation. In view of the measures which the Administration has taken to promote a rise in prices, there can be little doubt that a process of inflation of a mild degree is underway.

If, as President Conant evidently believes, the precedent may "eventually jeopardize the liberties guaranteed under the Bill of Rights", there can be no doubt as to the compelling necessity for him to protest, for the maintenance of "freedom of speech and inquiry" is the very staff of life for educational institutions. Deprived of such liberty, they perish intellectually, even though their material shell be preserved...
