...proposal of Ludwig C. A. K. Martens, self-styled "Ambassador" from Soviet Russia, that he be permitted, on behalf of the government he represents, to furnish transportation back to Russia for those Russians who have become persona non grata to the United States, is one that should meet with instant and unqualified approval. If Bolsheviks and other agitators, dissatisfied with life under the Stars and Stripes, claim that lovely Russia is the only real place to live, by all means let them go there, and if their government wants to pay their traveling expenses, so much the better.

...United States, however, rather quixotically declines to recognize the Soviet Government even by so much as accepting Mr. Marten's offer. This is rather like biting one's nose to spite one's face. Here is an opportunity to get rid of a large number of undesirables, "thousands" of whom, according to the Russian representative, have requested passports to return to the peace and tranquility of Bolshevism.

Then we conservatives, who, through some inexplicable idiosyncracy, still cling to the principles of our Constitution, feel bound to protest...
...time that college men quit the use of terms which are coined for a popular purpose, and which only befog any possible intelligent consideration of issues. Let us discuss industrial representation in government instead of "soviet" government and cease this business of giving a dog a bad name and hanging him for it. As they used to ask, "Do you believe in man's divine nature or his descent from monkeys?" So now they ask, "Do you believe in American or Soviet government?" It should be the distinction of college men above non-college men, as trained thinkers, that they...
