...interesting commentary on the bill is the fact that it includes the following interesting phrase: "Whereas, Harvard University endeavors to foster and maintain the ideals of truth and freedom so dear to America . . ." It should impart a pleasing glow to the heart of every Harvard man to know that the Senate of the United States does not consider his university a hot-bed of red agitation, even if the Massachusetts legislature does. We refer the representative from Dorchester to Messrs Roosevelt, Garner, and Byrns, who are choosing the commission, for a certificate of Harvard's virtue...

Such retaliatory measures are not only consummately unconstitutional and unjust but are above all else cowardly. They strike at those unable to defend themselves either with money or with popular and sympathetic support.

From a strategical standpoint the promotion of an American transatlantic airline as a war-defensive measure is highly desirable. An English historian once remarked, "On the day that Bleriot flew the English Channel England became a continental nation." It might be said with equal truth that the day Charles A. Lindbergh flew the Atlantic Ocean, the United States became a European power. Few events in aeronautical history are more strikingly significant than the landing of a whole squadron of Italian planes under the command of General Italo Balbo in the very heart of America at Chicago three years...
