...against English Capitalism that the fatal blow must be struck! . . . Five per cent of Englishmen are the biggest property owners. They oppress not only the remaining population but also thousands of peoples of other nationalities- Indians, Persians, Chinese, etc.! Each English capitalist forces about 100 English workers and several hundred workers in England's colonies and the oppressed countries to drudge for him. . . . These enslaved people must unite! Yes, we must array ourselves against the English bourgeoisie. We must seize the English Imperialist by the throat and trample him underfoot...

They are engraved on the statue of Scott made by his widow and unveiled after the War in Devonport, the Devonshire town where he was born...
...debating subject other than the two already suggested. One of these is trivial; the other, non-debatable before an American or British audience. Neither question commands great public interest. The subject: "Resolved: that this house favors a government censorship of news.", is not debatable for either Americans or Englishmen. The First Amendment to our Constitution provides: "Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom . . of the press." Popular opinion in both nations is overwhelmingly in favor of the negative on the censorship resolution. It is significant that this is the side of the question each team wishes to uphold...
