Members of the Harvard Student Union will vote in secret ballot on an amendment to the A. S. U. platform, it was announced yesterday by Alan Gottlieb '41, President of the Harvard Chapter. The amendment would condemn Russia for the invasion of Finland.
The amendment, rejected at the national convention by a vote of 322-49, was referred to the decision of the entire Student Union body in a referendum called by the National Executive Committee. Ballots for the vote were received yesterday by Gottlieb and will be returned for count to the National Office in New York within a month.
"The main reason for rejecting the resolution during the Convention was the fear of compromising our neutrality," Gottlieb stated. "The amendment as it now appears expressly states our conviction to keep America at peace, despite condemnation of Soviet aggression."
The ballot also contains a statement of the Peace Resolution adopted by the Convention at Madison but nevertheless referred to the approval of all A. S. U. members. It condemns the war between the Allies and Germany as an imperialistic struggle and proposes support of legislation tending to maintain the country's neutrality.
