Blitzkrieg im Westen, which was offered by the Harvard Liberal Union to a jam-packed New Lecture Hall last night, is significant for the cleverly unpolished effect which camouflages its propaganda. It contains none of the gilt-edged-super-collossal-stupendous-gargantuan approach that Hollywood has geared the American public (and even the Harvard student) to lap up.

Those tireless peace men, Aristide Briand and Austen Chamberlain, were trying to per suade the Republic of Germany to enter the League of Nations and make a final peace pact. The Republic had its finger in its mouth. Then Mrs. Austen Chamberlain, her husband's ablest helper, rose...
