...above mentioned issue on page 13 in an article entitled "Bombs," you mention a supposed bombardment of a market of several rebel villages in the Riff. Permit me to inform you that your correspondent was . . . misinformed. There are none and have been no rebellious tribes in the Riff since the spring of 1927 when . . . the last of the partisans of Aid el Krim [were] subdued and brought under French control. . . . Since then the Riff has been absolutely peaceful, on the French side of the divide at least...

You mention a list of Jewish composers among them Ravel, Mendelssohn, Rubinstein, Saint-Saens, and Bloch. Very fine and good. But you clever editors must have your say. A little note does the trick! So you lightly dismiss the Jewish composers with "But Beethoven, Wagner, Strauss, Tschaikowsky, etc., etc., vere Gentiles." Your entire attitude is nothing short of insulting to the intelligence of your readers. It is 100% befitting vacuocaputs...
Barnhart, who is president of the Harvard Democratic Club, made the keynote speech, calling for a return to Wilsonian ideals and a cessation of government by and for monopolies. At the mention of Wilson's name, a picture of the late ex-President was unveiled and greeted with prolonged cheering. Barnhart's attacks upon the policy of isolation and corruption in government also brought aplause...
