Norman Thomas To Speak On Socialism Monday Afternoon

Norman Thomas, veteran Socialist candidate for President of the United States, will speak before the Thomas-for-President Club in the Gore Hall Common Room of Winthrop House on Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Mr. Thomas' speech is to be the final one in a series of talks under the auspices of the Club, presenting the case for socialism to all Harvard students who wish to attend.

The last guest speaker of the Club was Powers Hapgood '20, who spoke on the subject, "Ph.D. Men For Sale--Cheap!", stating that college men are in the same situation with regard to unemployment as are day laborers, because they are "selling their services" in the same way that manual laborers do. He said that socialism was the only solution of the problem, and used as examples of the success of socialistic policies his experiences in the operation of a canning factory in Indiana.
