With either absolute ignorance or absolute disregard for the facts of the case, the CRIMSON published an editorial charging the 1921 Nominating Committee with gross neglect of its duties, and demanding its resignation. Of the six points brought forth one is almost correct--the committee did not supervise the counting of ballots. After instructing the chairman of the Counting Committee how the votes should be counted, the Nominating Committee left the counting of the votes wholly to the Juniors as has been the case in past years.

Should England resume full trade relations with Germany at the; present time, she would be signing the commercial death-warrant of the heroic nation across the Channel. France has asked bread; shall England give a stone...
...farmer's demands are an attempt to do this; they show either an astonishing ignorance of banking theory and practice, or a disregard of the public interest for selfish aims. We have had too much of price-fixing; it is to the nation's interest that the crops should be moved for consumption at prices fixed in an open and free market...
