We believe that the activities of the soviet Union and the policies of the American Communist Party are entirely in accord with these principles. Although we appreciated Mr. Hicks' presence at Harvard during the past year, his present action can in no way alter our fundamental belief in the tenets of scientific socialism, the teachings of Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Stalin. We will persist in our policy, based on these teachings, of exerting every effort to keep...
