J. P. Munroe Sees No Harm in Evolutionary Stage of Human Progress

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Munroe, President of the Twentieth Century Club, when interviewed by a CRIMSON reporter yesterday. "I am not defending War for its own sake, but only insofar as it is necessary to human evolution.

"War has brought about democracy. It is quite justifiable when it leads to a rapid evolutionary advance of humanity. Such an upheaval in Russia today might bring wonderful results."
