MORE MEETINGS

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Measured in terms of enthusiasm and results the Disarmament Meeting last Monday was a signal success. Those who were there had ideas and no objection to expressing them; what is more, their opinions were so varied that no doubt remained as to the meeting's being a representative one. There is no reason for not holding similar discussions in the near future; a successful experiment certainly deserves repetition.

In general the purpose of such informal meetings is to arouse popular interest, but on the limitation of armaments uestion there is more than this single idea. Our delegates to Princeton, for example, were provided with resolutions framed by the men who were at the Union on Monday evening. Even more important is the fact that Harvard as one of the many institutions in the country is uniting to foster an antiarmament sentiment. Anyone who stayed away from the meeting because be thought that Harvard opinion did not count for much is shutting his eyes to facts. When not only American institutions, but those in England also, are joining together for one purpose, the chances are that their enthusiasm and intelligent attitude towards the problem of armaments will accomplish a good deal. Another mass meeting, a bigger crowd, and plenty of discussion are now in order!
