HARVARD TO HAVE LOCAL BRANCH OF ECONOMY LEAGUE

The National Economy League, nation-wide organization to reduce government costs and to foster the fair payment of federal pensions to war veterans, is inaugurating a Harvard branch. At a meeting in Dunster House on Monday night, J. L. Saltonstall '00 spoke informally on the aims of the League and the work it is doing to correct the wrongs of present day bonus exploitation.

National Organization

The National Economy League was formed last April by a group of prominent men, mostly Harvard graduates, who realized the racket that our war veterans run in their Congressional lobbies. Grenville Clark '03 was the originator of the idea and he found a large group at the Harvard Club of New York who shared his ideas. They in turn asked several prominent political leaders to sit on a national advisory committee.

The following University members were present at the gathering on Monday; J. H. Smith Jr. 1L., and J. M. Polk 2L., C. F. Adams Jr. 1L representatives from the Law School; John Hallowell 1G.B., E. K. Straus 2G.B. representatives from the Business School; and the following undergraduates: Alfred Kidder '33, Robert Saltonstall Jr. '33, C. H. Hageman '33, St. John Smith Jr. '33 and D. M. Sullivan '33.
