...whole of this argument is obviously delusive since it depends upon the thesis that neutrality is possible in any future world-war. If the events of the past four years have demonstrated anything, they have demonstrated the falsity of that assumption. The years of American neutrality were, for herself, economically gainful; but they were in no sense morally valuable. It was, moreover, obvious that the situation in Europe would not permit either America or any other neutral permanently to profit by the misfortunes of her neighbors.

...been brought to the attention of the Publicity Committee that the Liberty Loan posters are continually disappearing from the Harvard dormitories. The removal of these posters could be easily construed as a distinctly unfriendly act to our country and dealt with accordingly. It is obvious, though, that the posters have been taken down by students for their rooms...
