...company's continuing to be to the Bolivian Government what the Jews are to Hitler and the Trotskyites are to Stalin, an unnamed Standard Oil official at New York last week exploded: "Preposterous, utter, sheer nonsense! We would not raise a finger or lift a telephone receiver to stir up trouble in Bolivia." Meantime, with the Bolivian press crackling away at the yanqis, President Toro quietly transferred Standard Oil's confiscated refineries to the Government-owned Yacimientos Petroleros Fiscales, prepared to give them a new whirl...

The proposal already before the Council for a series of lesser debates to take place before local organizations in Cambridge and Boston should stir up outside interest. Further than that there are untapped resources in the Houses that would delight to participate in informal debating, and it is to these men, as well as to total outsiders, that the Council should direct its appeal.
