To the Editors of the Crimson:

For perhaps the first time in the state's history voters of Massachusetts on November 3 were given the opportunity to express their opinion on U.S. foreign policy. The question voted on in 340 of the state's 487 precinets follows: "Shall the Representatives in the General Court from this district be instructed to vote the request the President and Congress to call at the earliest possible moment a convention of Representatives of all free peoples to frame a Federal Constitution under which they may unite in a Democratic World Government?" Vote in favor of Democratic World Federation: 140,967. Against: 46,882. The fact that most of the local politicians running for office had opposed the referendum seems to prove Dr. Gallup's thesis: the public is usually far ahead of its political "leaders" in its thinking on most issues.
