...fostering social unrest, Mayor Thompson is playing a game, which is dangerous not only to his "capitalistic" opponents, but to himself. If the Mayor attempts to spread his civic policy to the whole state and nation, as he now threatens, be may find he has started something which he cannot finish; the cause which he is nourishing may grow to such uncontrollable proportions as to plunge himself as well as his enemies into the slouch of anarchism.

Even those who are incognizant of the liberty of expression with which the university community is blessed, will find it amusing to recall that a twelvemonth since Harvard was a "hotbed of radicals," in the pay of Bolshevist agents; while today they are hirelings of "Lloyd George and his Tories." Moreover, any cry that may be raised against the possible expenditure of English money for propaganda on this side of the Atlantic is put to ridicule...
