LEAGUE'S FRIENDS RALLY TO NON-PARTISAN APPEAL

ABOUT 75 WILLING TO WORK FOR U. S. ENTRANCE

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Harvard committee of the League of Nations Non-Partisan Association announced last night that its postal drive for members had brought forth 241 favorable replies. Letters will be in the mails this morning explaining more fully the alms of the association and soliciting the enrolment of these men who have signified their desire to become members.

Shortly after the University ballot on the Bok Peace Plan, J. P. Hubbard '26, chairman of the Harvard committee, mailed return postal cards to all those undergraduates who had registered their approval of Dr. Levermore's $50,000 peace panacea. These cards explained briefly the objects of the League of Nations Non-Partisan Association and solicited in the first place membership and in the second place active work for the association. Naturally many of these cards were ignored, but 241 men signed up for membership and approximately 75 expressed their interest in doing active work.

Purpose Is To Join League

In his letter to the 241 prospective members Hubbard characterizes the association as "a large and growing body of men and women throughout the United States, who have put aside all political differences and have united to induce the administration to enter the World Court or League of Nations on terms consistent with our Constitution."

By joining the League of Nations Non-Partisan Association," continued the letter "you add your voice to those of thousands of others in an attempt to crystallize a favorable public opinion and thus permanently establish international peace."

Membership to the association costs one dollar and includes a year's subscription to the "League of Nations Herald," a bi-monthly publication which outlines the proceedings of the League of Nations and takes up questions of international policy.

Chairman Hubbard also made the announcement that he would be glad to see any interested students who were not reached by the postal drive at his room, Claverly 45.
