...other subject of current public policy, Mr. Laski is utilizing a privilege which Harvard has steadfastly accorded to all her teachers. As President Lowell declared some years ago, a university cannot exercise a censorship over the utterances of its teachers without accepting responsibility for everything they do or say. It might not be amiss to suggest to Mr. Laski, however, that, as he is not a citizen of the United States, the amenities of the situation would seem to call for a reasonable measure of restraint in the criticism of our public officials.

...still more remote any possibility of amicable compromise by quibbling over the rights of recognition and unionization, neither of which are intrinsically wrong or of relatively great importance. Mr. Gary refuses to treat on questions of labor conditions in his factories with anyone not directly concerned with them. He says he will talk with his own laborers but with no one else. But the laborers but with no one else. But the laboring men argue that none of them like to complain to their chief, because, in case of a necessary reduction of hands, the "agitators" would be the first...
