...outdone, the French have devised a new strategy aimed at hypnotizing the enemy from the front while the right wing encircles the main body and gradually crushes it in a firm embrace. Trained at the Ecole Militaire de Hollywood, Mr. Charles Boyer has been intrusted with the command. The first move will be a nation-wide series of lectures to American women's clubs. Boyer is just the man for the job. Daladier can bully the Chambre and make it take notice. Bonnet knows his finance. Weygand can play a campaign over his morning coffee. But only Boyer...

...Mr. Pitts, on the other hand, who claimed a desire to participate in the protest, and whose attempt to disrupt the meeting also called forth Thursday's letter, the John Reed Society apparently did not see fit to invite him to speak. Whether this was an oversight or an intentional omission I myself cannot say. Even if it was the latter, their action is certainly understandable. Liberals and progressives have long known form bitter experience the destructive activities of those who call themselves Trotskyites. These activities have been felt by liberal organizations everywhere. Had he been seriously interested...

Little room for disagreement can now remain. Considering the issue more vital than the John Reed Society protest, the magazine editors have invited Mr. Browder to attack this curtailment of religious freedom from the steps of their Mount Auburn Street building. Perhaps it can be considered fortunate that infringement of speech and religion have occurred together.

...main speaker of the evening, Mr. Lamont said that the University was stifling free speech by Communist leaders, and refused to consider that the University merely refuses to hear these doctrines from the mouths of alleged criminals. He claimed full support of Browder's speaking for the John Reed Society among the alumni, which is ridiculous. And all the while he was claiming suppression of Communist or Socialist doctrine by the University, he interspersed glowing pictures of the Socialist State, and even went so far as to hold out alluring promises of $5,000 a year to its members...
