...longer able to keep silent on Russia's invasion of Finland, the Harvard Student Union will make a decision at tonight's meeting which will shape the future of its policy. It can look no longer to the Soviet with dreamy idealism. Red aggression against a tiny Scandinavian country has snapped the last possible tie with America. To dodge this reality is weakness.

The imaging the accounts of red nests and Moscow gold and police visits (no such police visit as the CRIMSON describes over occurred) are amusing, do doubt, but our laughter becomes a little wry when we see how this complements on a potty local scale the attempts of the Dies Committee to frighten liberals and progressives into inactivity and silence...
