"Let Harvard Men Turn Out in Numbers" Says President of Armistice Day Committee on Monster Parade Tomorrow

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

"Memorial Hall commemorates the Harvard men who died in the Civil War. Soon there will be a chapel to commemorate Harvard's sons who died in the World War.

"Every Harvard man hopes and prays there never need be a third was memorial. It will take some courage to stand for peace and all legitimate patriotic measurers, when the charge of pacifism and radicalism are so quickly hurled in the faces of the protagonists of peace.

"The great Peace Parade that will take place tomorrow in Boston has been subjected in Monday's papers to scathing denunciation. It is a 'red plot,' a 'peace at any price' movement. These statements are false.

"Let Harvard men turn out in numbers with all the other colleges and secondary schools of Greater Boston to testify to their loyalty to the ideals of a peace established on the foundation of international justice and friendship."

This statement was issued to the CRIMSON last night by Rev. G. L. Paine '96, executive secretary of the Massachusetts Federation of Churches and president of the Armistice Day committee that is arranging the monster parade to be held tomorrow.

Mr. Paine declared that large delegations from most of the colleges in this vicinity would be included in the parade. The entire Senior class of Simmons College is expected to march, and several hundred Boston University students will be in the parade also.

The Harvard delegation will be led by E. M. Littell '26, who will be glad to give any particulars to men desiring them, between 2 o'clock and 4 o'clock this afternoon at Stoughton 19. Men can join the parade at 2 o'clock tomorrow, at the starting point, the corner of Dartmouth and Boylston Streets.

The procession, in which about 70 organizations are represented, has been branded as a 'radical plot," and the American Legion has refused to take part, because some of the marchers are alleged pacifists. However, many such organizations as the League of Women's Voters, the Knights of Pythias, and the like, are marching. The parade will go up Beacon Hill and pass a reviewing stand on the Boston Common.
