...peasants, having known years in which they did not have enough grain to sow their fields in the spring, want to hoard whatever grain they can. The Bolsheviki, having failed to get this grain by persuasion, are reported to be trying to starve the people out. The Reds argue that the country is in need of credits, and that if the peasants yielded their grain the same amounts as at present could be shipped with less disastrous results to the country. This is a typical Soviet attitude. Meanwhile, the world waits to learn how the Russian government will spend what...
...spoke of the world-wide movement of the Soviet government to spread propaganda and sow discord. "There never was a time in the history of this country when there was so much need for red-blooded Americanism. The Soviet government is responsible for the Wall Street bomb, and they paid, for that.

Many of us believe that Mr. Wilson has not taken the Senate sufficiently into his confidence and have criticized him accordingly. But that does not excuse the Senate for taking illegitimate means to discredit the administration...
...country of ill-feeling and disturbances between French and American soldiers and between British and Americans. Certain newspapers--not necessarily intentionally--distort the actual facts, magnify trivial incidents and in general do a great deal to spread the seeds of discord that the Boche have taken such pains to sow. Headlines such as the following may be seen almost daily in the news-papers: "British Even More Bitter Against Americans Than French"; "Charm of La Belle France a Myth"; "French Glad to See Last of Americans"; "Dislike on All Sides in England"; "Doughboys Receive Fair Treatment From Germans"; "American Troops...
