...Colonel Roosevelt "average"? Not a bit. He is a real chip of the old block, combative, honest, direct--not to say blunt--like his father before him. His war record was first rate; his book is a good deal better than might be expected from an author of little literary experience. There is lots of the Roosevelt personality in the book, and lots of the First Division spirit. For some, and let us hope many readers, that should be sufficient recommendation...

We all of us agree that it is not as perfect a one as we could have written ourselves. Nevertheless it is here, to be rejected, amended, or ratified...
Last spring, honest opposition to the League of Nations as it then stood--which stand the CRIMSON shared--offered a possibility of some document being evolved of more lasting value. Opposition now can only prolong the chaotic condition of all European countries, and continue the industrial foment of our own country...
