...yesterday's CRIMSON a wrong impression was given as to the substance of a part of Mr. Moors' speech at the Union. The quotation states: "Mr. Moors ended his talk by urging the members present to vote. . . for a government by parties." This is exactly the reverse of Mr. Moors' meaning. He clearly made a distinction between voting for an issue--namely the League of Nations, as opposed to victory for party for its own sake.

There is obviously something unfair in the attitude that forces an instructor to impose petty requirements on a course in order to free it from the stigma of classification as a snap.

Whether or not the Federation "endorses" Lenine and Trotzky and their robberies and plunder and the lasting ruin which they have visited upon Russia makes little difference, after such an exhibition of anti...
