...January 26 writes that if the President's speech to the Senate should prove fruitful, it might render all military preparation useless. It must be remembered, however, that the President's speech was only the most tentative of beginnings towards a policy which cannot even commence to take effect until the European War is brought to a close. In the meantime, with the outcome still trembling in the balance, ought we to omit preparations for all possible emergencies through reliance on a plan of universal peace, which even its most ardent supporters admit is at present little more than...
...President's proposal for a league to prevent war, if carried into effect, will make of every nation a policeman, but of what use is a policeman without arms? He cannot keep or help keep the peace by mere realization that he is morally better than the offender. He must be prepared to enforce the law.

But not so in these when the world is drunk with state-sickness and when to be a liberal...
...Herald relates the incident on its front page with the statement that "it was generally understood among the students that the action of the College authorities was taken because of Mrs. Skeffington's supposed anti-British sentiments." There was also a foul blast from another Boston sheet to the effect that Harvard suppresses the truth. If Mrs. Skeffington had been allowed to speak in Emerson Hall it is fairly certain that the newspapers would have chronicled that simple fact without any hint of the sentiments of the College authorities...
