NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

First international support of the Student move to bring Latin-American scholars to Harvard came yesterday with the announcement that the Pan-American Union, through its secretary-general, Leo S. Rowe, would encourage the drive through official channels.

In an interview with members of the Harvard committee Rowe promised that the Union in Washington, powerful symbol of Western solidarity, would assist the campaign "in every way possible" and complimented the group on the timeliness of their drive.

At the same time, the committee revealed that Francis C. Walker, treasurer of the Democratic Party in the 1933 campaign and member of the National Economics Research Board, had given the students his personal endorsement. Bringing 12 or 15 scholars to Harvard, Walker felt, is perhaps one of the most fundamental contributions that America could make towards promoting Latin-American friendship.
