...Senatorial Committee on Foreign Relations received a startling testimony from Mr. Vanderlip yesterday. This New York banker has just returned from an extended private tour through Europe where he sounded the individual opinion of leading continental financiers. He received the impression, which he stated yesterday without comment, that England and France are expecting the United States to cancel the huge loans we have made. If this is true, it certainly deserves comment. The Committee cannot be blamed for expressing surprise...
...Review" proposes to take all subjects and treat them in the light of knowledge and common sense. Such a treatment cannot but have a stabilizing effect on opinion, and, at a time when stable thought is very rare indeed, the "Review" should be of inestimable value. We need to discover the point of view of the opposition. The new magazine promises to show it to us without making it revolting.

It is impossible that we should all be satisfied, or perhaps that any of us should be satisfied all the time. Even a "loving graduate editor...
Prompted by your editorial of Tuesday, May 27th, I venture to express a prevalent opinion with regard to the CRIMSON'S attitude toward the proposed "Harvard Daily." The instinct of self-defense must, of course, have prompted the CRIMSON to reply to the severe but true attack of the Harvard Magazine, but neither instinct nor reason can excuse the weakness and evasiveness of that reply. Literary pouting and stamping of the feet not only are no defense, but argue for the truth of the opposide view. The fact that the CRIMSON enjoys a monopoly as a college newspaper...
