To the Editor of the CRIMSON:

Your columns have repeatedly referred to the League for Industrial Democracy as an avowedly communist organization. This is untrue. The League, whose purpose is primarily educational, has no affiliation with the Communist party; among its directors are men like Norman Thomas and John Dewey. I trust that you will correct your error.

Permit me, further, to point out that the attempt to disrupt our meeting was carried out with the connivance of University authorities. A rival meeting, unauthorized by the Regent, was given full freedom by the Yard police. Harvard's name was blackened by students in Nazi uniform, shouting for war. The University demands that radical clubs conform to all rules, but turns the other way when its embryonic Fascists violate regulations. The Austrian government which gave the Heimwehr free rein, the German government which took no step against the Hitlerites, practised an analogous "democratic" policy.

In marked contrast to the behavior of the swastika-bedecked hoodlums was the disciplined manner with which the L.I.D. and N.S.L. conducted their meeting. The leadership warned enraged spectators to yield to no provocation to violence, nor to any measures calculated to discredit the demonstration. And all the antics of the Mullins gentlemen could not conceal the sympathetic participation of the larger part of the audience in the strike for peace. Lewis S. Feuer 3G.   Secretary, Harvard L.I.D.
