When the Madison Convention of the A.S.U. refused to take any stand on the Russian invasion of Finland, public opinion condemned the Union as tied to the Soviet coat tails. Indeed, both by word and by implication, the peace resolution adopted by the Convention evidenced sympathy for the Soviet. Hence the Harvard chapter's action Tuesday night, when it approved the national platform, yet reaffirmed its own condemnation of Russia, was not exactly consistent.

His recipe for breaking up an invading army: "Turn the imperialist war into a civil war."
