Regardless of one's views on the American Student Union, any thinking person must regard the banning of that organization from the Roxbury Memorial High School as but another attempt of Boston educational authorities to destroy academic freedom. The Boston School Committee has justified this suppression on the grounds that the American Student Union constitutes a "Communist" menace, boring subversively at the city school system from within...
Basic question the U. S. press immediately asked was: had this Democratic President made any commitments comparable to the moral ones assumed by the last Democratic President with regard to "foreign entanglements"? To his full height in the Senate rose young Henry Cabot Lodge, grandson and namesake of one of the men who drove Woodrow Wilson wild on the League of Nations issue, to ask the Secretary of the Treasury for a full accounting of the $2,000,000,000 Stabilization Fund, to see if any financial commitments were implied by the President's program.

It has been repeatedly pointed out in these columns that the Freshman elections are essentially a farce; that the Union Committee, in spite of its un-democratic nature, is the logical and most efficient body for the administration of Freshman activities; and that the elections should therefore be discarded. In ignoring this problem, the Council made...
