...morality. Like the American Student Union, it has suddenly discovered its acute sense of objectivity and refused to recognize the existence of a "moral cause" in the fight of a small republic for independence. That the American Youth Congress adjusts its attitude toward aggression to its feelings for the aggressor, is proof of its insincerity; that it favors the Soviet Union in a time in which--rightly or wrongly--the vast majority of the American people sympathizes with the Finnish cause, is proof of its unrepresentativeness...
Retreat from its position on the Finnish question would be unthinkable. The Student Union has long stood for morality in international relations. That stand is perhaps an anachronism, but so long as it is maintained, it must be applied to every aggressor, not merely to certain of them. The H.S.U. has recognized this; the A.S.U. has yet to do so.

Would it not be better, suggested the newspaper, if, like Alexander, Joseph Stalin buckled on his breastplate and greaves and struck out for Illyria, Phoenicia, Babylonia, the empires of Persia and those lands which are watered by the Indus...

S. should make a new, and better, trade treaty with Japan when the abrogated Treaty of 1911 expires next month. Japan has no better customer than the U. S., and is the U. S.'s third best. To get on Japan's good side, argue the protagonists of this plan, it would be worth swapping away spheres of interest in China, which, they say, are already lost anyhow...
