HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
Plans for a motor cavaloade of the Harvard Progressive Society, which is supporting Roosevelt, were announced at a rally yesterday in Langdell Hall at which Senator Barclay spoke. The meeting was attended by 600.
The automobile parade, which will be equipped with sound apparatus, will tour throughout the state, speaking at every college and at many other towns besides. Speakers were recruited at the meeting yesterday afternoon by Raymond C. Dennett 1L, head of Phillips Brooks House.
Senator Barclay, after being introduced by professor Felix Frankfurter, Byrne Professor of Administrative Law, spoke about an hour defending the Democratic administration for its agricultural policies, its banking laws, and Treasury deficit. He said, "We had to take the banks out of Wall Street. The banking situation is greatly improved now.' He averred that the country was better off today, quoted rises in the stocks of General Motors and Dupont, which he attributed to the increased spending power of the farmer.
He attacked the Republicans for their use of the Communism stigma in connection with the Democrats, calling it a cheaper and more unworthy slogan that has ever been invented.
He said that Hoover was elected by the largest majority ever and went out by unanimous consent.
