Maybe we find a reason for the low level of the magazines and news-
papers of this country in the poll taken by the Harvard Crimson among the
Harvard under-graduate body. Guess, ladies and gentlemen, the favorite
intellectual food of these students? You won't believe it when I tell you
that the Saturday Evening Post leads the list, with I.iberty second! I am
surprised that one of Bernarr MaeFoilden's magazines wasn't able to edge
in among the first three. Think of it! The Harvard undergraduate body
advertises that it has a tabloid mind! It seems what liarvard needs is a
great many more Jewish students. In contrast to this condition at one of
our greatest universities, a director of the Associated Press once told me

Walter Duranty, who is undoubtedly the best posted correspondent in
Russia, and who commands the complete confidence of the Soviet govern-
ment, writes to the Times of certain significant incidents indicating that
the spirit of compromise is abroad in the government's attitude toward re-
ligion. lie mentions among other things the holding of a concert by a
group of Moscow organizations at which Melomedof, the celebrated Russian
tenor, was the star attraction. It no happened that the date of the concert
conicided with the festival of Purim, so Melomedof's whole repertoire con-
sisted of sacred chants from the synagogue service. In reply to the Pravda's
indignant protest, the censorship deportment said it thought that Melomedof
was giving extracts from Aida! And another significant incident. A gen-
eral holiday was observed in Moscow because it was the church festival of
the Annunciation. Duranty sees a relaxing of the grimness in Russian life.
The people are beginning to laugh a little and there is a disposition toward
friendliness in opposing views on subjects heretofore beyond the pale of
discussion.
