In its issue of March 17, the Harvard "Crimson" announced that "Unidentified Harvard students will take a vigorous part in aiding striking garment workers to picket." In true Hearst fashion, the "Crimson" then states "these students, it is said, will make a determined effort to repeat the riot at Charlestown in 1934." . . . . . .

The "Crimson" evidently did not care about the truth. It seems that what it was interested in doing was to supply "information" to the police. For the "Crimson" then goes on to say that it called up the Boston Red Squad to give them the information and try to provoke them into take action. The Red Squad, however, "declined to comment."

In labour unions, people who inform, on the activities of their fellow workers are known as "stool pigeons" and "rats". We wonder whether Harvard students, who have not yet had much acquaintance with such people, will recognize John J. Reidy and his fellow editors for what they are. We know that Benny Goodman and William Gouldston, the thugs of the Boston Red Squad, will see kindred souls in the "Crimson" sanctum.

As for the students who are forced to suffer the "Crimson's" daily appearance, they will be more than ever convinced of the necessity of taking that paper out of the corrupt hands of those at present controlling it. The Harvard Communist
