"The Liberal Tradition--A Free People and a Free Economy" will be the subject of the four annual Godkin Lectures which Lewis W. Douglas, former Director of the Budget, will deliver next week.

The lectures are scheduled for Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons at 4.30 o'clock in the New Lecture Hall. They will be open to the public.

Mr. Douglas, who resigned his post last summer after he and President Roosevelt disagreed on the government's financial program, is expected to discuss the philosophy of the New Deal and show where it interferes with "a free people and free economy."

Presidential Timber

Since his resignation Mr. Douglas has given only a few speeches, but they have disclosed a fundamental disagreement between his views and those of the President. In some quarters, he is strongly considered as presidential timber for 1936 or 1940. At the present time he is vice-president of the American Cyanamid Corporation.

During his stay in Cambridge he will be the guest of President and Mrs. Conant at their home on Quincy Street. A week from tonight he will speak at the sixty-second annual dinner of the CRIMSON at the building, 14 Plympton Street.
