EXECUTION OF WANG PING IS PROTESTED BY LIBERAL CLUB

Students Also Protest to Senate on Birth Control Bill

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Two strong protests, one with the Chinese Nanking government and the other with the U. S. Senate Judiciary committee, have been lodged by the Harvard Liberal club, it was revealed yesterday.

In the first case, the protest is against the arrest and persecution of Wang Ping, the Chinese student leader of the Amalgamated Labor Unions of China, who was first arrested and accused of Communistic utterances by General Hsiao-Lang, the chief of the army opposing the Japanese in Jehel, and then turned over to General Kai-Shek of the Nanking government, who now threatens to execute him.

In the second case, the Liberal club is supporting a bill which is now before the Senate Judiciary, Committee to remove from the classification of obscene literature all information on the subject of birth-control. At the present time a law passed in 1873 prevents sending through the mails or selling or lending any information or advice or assistance on this subject. This means that although many physicians give private advice to their pattents on this matter, it is impossible for hospitals and clinics to advise their charity paticuts, who cannot afford to go to a private doctor.
