Traitors

A plot against America has been detected. Henry Cashman, member of the Wisconsin University Board of Regents and the State Legislature, declared to the Regents last week that a grave peril is being courted by any State which sends Rhodes scholars to Oxford. "The object of Rhodes scholarships is to extend British rule and ultimately to recover the United States. This scheme makes traitors of some of America's finest young men!" No action was taken by the Board. But some patriot somewhere, who does not know how incurably American the Rhodes scholars are considered at Oxford and who has not read Max Beerbohm's Zuleika Dobson, will probably "do something about the matter" very soon. . . .
