Coincident with the British plan for withdrawing foreign fighters came a report from a veteran correspondent with the Leftists, New York Timesman Herbert L.

The divisional commanders to be dismissed: 1) a German Communist who fought as Lieut.-Colonel "Hans." first commander of the German-Slav Thaelmann Battalion, later promoted to command the 45th Division; 2) a Polish Communist, General Walter, who commanded the 35th Division, which includes Americans...
Meanwhile, from behind Rightist lines last week came the report that many U. S. volunteers captured earlier in the war had been summarily shot without trial, most of them by grizzled, hard-boiled Legionnaires of the Tercio de Extranjeros (Spanish Foreign Legion).

There is little doubt that Mr. Conant...
...other hand, from the evidence presented by this report as to the teaching qualifications of Dr. Walsh and Dr. Sweezy, it is clear that President Conant's rejection of the Economics Department's recommendation that these instructors be reappointed for a second term of three years was inopportune and inexpedient. Although his practical and far-sighted financial policy should be applauded in theory, in this particular case it would have been wiser if the President had adopted as equally a long-term view of the effect of the instructors' dismissal on the University. The Report proves that these men were...
