...Palmer says "We Westerners are not poor losers." His letter, however, is the letter of a poor loser. I am glad to say that I saw nothing in the attitude of the men from the University of Washington, in their brief visit here, that leads me to believe that they are in sympathy with it.

Today, uncompromisingly opposed by the Great Powers, rebuffed by the government at Rome, and with his tenure of control of Flume but a matter of weeks at most, the Italian soldier-poet speaks with the same old air of bravado...
