Browder Hopes Franco Will Find Route into Ambulance

Interviewed Wednesday evening before he spoke at New Lecture Hall, Earl Browder, Communist leader and presidential candidate, was enthusiastic over Harvard's raising of funds to send an ambulance to Spanish Loyalists.

Browder was asked if he didn't think, it would be better to send an ambulance to each side. "I would be absolutely in favor of that," he asserted, "If you can get Franco in the rebel's ambulance."

"Yes," he said musingly. "I've always wanted to come to Harvard." he paused dramatically. "Now I am at Harvard." Then, setting back in his chair, he chuckled," so now my ambition has been realized!"

When Boston newshawks tried to goad him into saying something about the Walsh-Sweezey case, he declined, declaring that he didn't know anything about this case. "However," he mentioned, "I've observed a general tendency in universities that when a professor takes an interest in labor movements, trouble usually occurs."

Fascists Most Unpleasant

Substance of Browder's New Lecture Hall speech was that all Fascists are most unpleasant, and that the Spanish People's Front should be supported by the United States as an amicable gesture toward a sister democracy. He was introduced by Arthur N. Holcombe '06, professor of Government, who said he had once watched Browder make a Chinese revolution really "revolve."

Highlight of the evening came when a representative of the John Reed Society, collecting funds for the Loyalists, urged the audience of 700 to "skip a date for democracy." He collected $155.06.
