Harvard will be represented this winter at the fifth annual New England Model League of Nations, when its delegation, representing France, travels to Brown University on March 3, it was announced yesterday. For the second consecutive time a Harvard man is president of the Council, D. H. Popper '32 officiating at the session.
This time delegates from the University will represent a world power, and the leaders of this group will impersonate the leading French statesman. W. R. Furlong '32 will have charge of all Harvard representatives, as the ruling has just been enforced that every participant must come as a delegate of the country which his university has chosen to represent. An organization meeting is planned for the week after mid-years for all students interested in the venture, which is attracting delegates from 20 colleges and universities in the East.
Announcement that Yale and Princeton would also take an active part in this assembly makes it certain that a record number of students will attend the convention. It is hoped that over 600 will come to Providence for the meeting. Yale is to present Germany's problems, but Princeton has not decided on its country to date.
There will be three special committees to take up the special problems before the League. The first one will consider disarmament and the Manchurian question, the second will consider the pros and cons of the gold standard and bimetallism, while another group will present the subject of revision of the Treaty of Versailles, with special regard to the Polish Corridor. The general economic situation of the world at present will receive considerable attention. Each committee is composed of 55 members, one representing each college. Other topics will be taken up by the Council of the League.
