LEND-LEASE BILL IS OPPOSED BY ANTI-INTERVENTIONISTS

The Harvard Committee Against Military Intervention went on record as favoring direct grants to Britain but opposing the Lend-Lease Bill, in a telegram which was sent last night to New England Senators and all members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Last night's telegram was the non-military intervention group's first official statement opposing the Lend-Lease Bill, although officers of the Committee have previously come out against it.

In a statement issued Friday, Joseph P. Lyford '41 and Tudor Gardiner 1L, both officers of the Committee Against Military Intervention, acting as "private citizens" charged that "at its best the bill is seriously defective, even for aid to Britain. At its worst it constitutes a grave threat to American democracy."
