New Peace Organization Favors War Referendum And 'Articulate Policy'

Putting forward a program of active support of the Ludlow Amendment, the Harvard Anti-War Committee last night entered the arena of peace organizations on the campus in its first open meeting at Emerson D.

In marked contrast to the A. I. L. the new committee, composed largely of labor and leftist elements, set out to turn "nebulous peace sentiment into an articulate program" by the adoption of a definite policy even at the cost of alienating possible members.

Coolidge and Doniom Speak

Albert S. Coolidge, Lecturer in Chemistry, opened the meeting with a defense of the Ludlow Amendment claiming that it gave the people an opportunity to express their peace sentiment while Liam Donlom, field representative of the C. L. O., continued the discussion with a speech emphasizing the breakdown of collective security and the absolute necessity of our isolation policy.

Donlom called on the combined forces of labor, students, and intelligentsia to unite in opposition to the "ideological background for war laid by business and the administration."

Handicapped by lack of funds, the organization, headed by Milton D. Soffer 1G, plans an active schedule including the possibility of a peace strike before Armistice Day.
