Socialism and Communism will be heard from the same platform on Friday, when three speakers for the National Student League will address Harvard students at the New Lecture Hall.
The three men are Earl Browder, leader of the Communist party in America; Powers Hapgood '21, prominent Socialist; and Robert Baldwin '17, head of the American Civil Liberties League. The later organization is a non-partisan league, whose activities of late have centered chiefly in fights for free speech.
The subject of the meeting will be world peace and the part which the student can play in bringing about this objective. International relations rather than pacifism will be stressed.
All three speakers are strongly opposed to the R.O.T.C., and a part of the speeches will be devoted to attacks on this. Attention will be drawn to the cases of students who have been expelled from State Universities for refusing to take R.O.T.C. training. Among the institutions to which especial attention will be drawn are Ohio State University, City College in New York, Cornell University, Maryland University, and the University of New Hampshire, from which educational centers over fifty students have been expelled within the current year for opposition to compulsory military training.
