...Austrian trade and customs-union. All during these years the screws have been put on German industry and finance, and pressure enthusiastically applied, attempting to gouge out every possible penning due France, while she herself has coolly repudiated her own debt. Her press has maintained the same hostile, inflammatory tone of the 1870's. Very naturally, the effect of this attitude and the forms of action it has taken, has been to strengthen the extreme nationalist party on the one hand, and the extreme radical party on the other. Resentment against France has given the Nazis their strong card...
...stoutly contested but felicitous quotation which holds that "Those men who select Dunster House are social climbers, those who elect Eliot have already arrived, and those who choose Lowell don't give a hoot." The tone of the article composed for this morning's CRIMSON by Lowell's House Committee Chairman should serve to establish, in this respect, the attitude of at least a large number of his fellow Housemembers.

No sooner had the smoke cleared from this vitriolic assault than a barrage (collect) was wired from Princeton claiming a misunderstanding of league agreements and dissension in the Campus Cop and Princeton Proctor's ranks. This does not augur well for Big Three relations...
...recognizes that Chinese "antiforeign propaganda . . . contributed to creating the atmosphere in which the present dispute broke out." It recommends "recognition of Japan's interests in Manchuria," because "the rights and interests of Japan in Manchuria are facts which cannot be ignored." Far from hostile to Japan in tone, the Report is nevertheless firm...
