HARVARD INDIFFERENCE TO
CONFERENCE SHATTERED —

_ Meeting of 350 Re-Admits Cuname

—Bars Russia

Cela Mass., Jan.—. Interest here
in the Washington Conference received an
impetus a month ago which is so. sustaine
in its effects that at this late date it is
worth, discussing.

On November 15, six Harvard students,
nationals of France, England, -Japan,
China, Italy and the United States, met to
discuss the folowing resolution, before an
audience of 350 students; “Resolved: That
to preverit the next war it is necessary that
there be universal recognition of the Open
Door policy; that there be an immediate
and complete naval holiday; that there be
a’ progressive reduction of all armaments;
that there bé free admission of Germany
and Russia to the family of-fiations; and



' that ‘there be an association of all. nations

to establish and maintain justice.” The
meeting was under the auspicgs of the
Harvard Student Liberal Club; Lieutenant-
Governor ee ce x Fuller, of Massachu- |
setts, presided

‘7 Seated.ahgut, a conference table sinilae
to the.one at’ Washington, the ‘six afore-
mentioned students ‘seriously considered

, the problems over which the diplomats in

Washington are working. Three hundred
and fifty other students listened attentively
and tensely to their arguments as each
presented the case for his country. By the
time the formal speeches were over and the
discussion thrown open to the floor, the

-4nterest and enthusiasm rivalled that of a}

football mass meeting. Men jumped to
their feet calling for the floor; many spoke
simultaneously; each clause of the resolu-

» tion was hotly contested; and after three
~ hours of fierce debate it was the sense of

the meeting that there should be universal
recognition of the Open Door policy in
China, an immediate and complete naval
holiday, progressive reduction of all arma-
ments, and an association of nations; it
was voted that. Germany be invited to join
the conference bo ard—and—in4
Washington, but_ that Russia remain out-
side the pale until she had proven her gov-
ernment responsible.

late the corrupt system of Justice, though
the elaborate spy system is at once unfair
and autocratic.

“It is not true,” Mrs. Harrison declared,
“that children are taken, away from their
mothers at an early age and brought up
by the state. The Communists are of
course anxious for tem to be taught com-

*munism and atheism, but they do not take

them away before the school age.”

In the matter of experienced education,
-art, poetry and_ general. culture, the Bol-
sheviks are extraordinarily liberal, Mrs.
Harrison explained. :

Financial conditions in Russia are hope-
lessly-chaotic. The value of the rouble has
decreased until it now takes 200,000 to
make a dollar. The Soviet Government

. has made some effort to stabilize the cur-|_

rency, but without savail. - The “best. they

can do is to fix a maximumi rate for food.

Buys Reel of English Hockey Game

- for Publicity Department

At ten minutes to seven on the evening
of December 13, speakers in every hall on
campus rose to announce THE COLLEGE
News’ plan to buy the moving picture eel
of the English vs. Bryn Mawr hockey
game, and to send a sum to the Students’
Friendship Fund. Ia less than twenty min-
utes results from the five halls showed $270

the “movie” at the College ; $200 remained
for famine relief. The money was imme-
Tdiately advanced by the ‘News, against: the
collection of. the pledges _ on the*February
Pay Day.’

Curiosity was rife on campus the day
of the 13th, stimulated by announcements
that something exciting was to%ghappen at
dinner that evéning. No one was prepared
In Rocke-
feller R. Beardsley, ’23, outlined the plan,
and when she had finished speaking four
orators,” stationed inthe corners of the
room, harangued the students while they
signed their pledges. In Pembroke-East,

'24, from Rockefeller, carried the returns
from their sides of the campus to Den-
bigh, where they exchanged news and re-
turned with the total results to their halls.
‘In this way the contributors learned the
results of the drive before they left the
dining room.
