STUDENT LEAGUE BRANCH IS ORGANIZED AT ELIOT

Representatives of six New England colleges gathered in Eliot House last night to organize a New England branch of the National Student League. The Harvard group will not be associated with any other society or club in the University, and all interested students are invited to become members.

At the meeting, which was chiefly for organization purposes, H. E. Robbins '35 was chosen regional chairman by students from Harvard, Radcliffe, Tufts, Boston University, Technology, and Smith. It was decided that a mass meeting will be held at the Old South Church in Boston on Sunday, April 23.

The program of the organization, as outlined in "The Student Review," its official organ, is extensive, and includes the following propositions: to aid the working classes in strikes and demonstrations; to fight against all preparation for war, "which takes in colleges the forms of military training, jingoistic propaganda, etc."; to "expose the sham of 'democracy'. . .; the consistent denial of the elementary rights of free speech, press and peaceful assembly; the violent repression of working class struggles"; to expose and fight against "a fascist reign by capitalist interests"; to defend and popularize the U. S. S. R. and its plan; to fight against racial and national discrimination; to fight for academic freedom, both in the classroom and out; and to support the demands for government unemployment insurance.
