Speakers Emphasize
Concerted Action
At Anti - War Rally
Stressing the
significance of tomorrow's Student-Faculty Mobilization for Peace as an
outstanding means to counteract the militarism which usually
characterizes Armistice Day, George Edwards, representative of the
Student League for Industrial Democracy, spoke to the Anti-War League
yesterday.
Mr. Edwards
declared that the November 8 demonstration proved that the. impending
world war and the continued suppression of academic freedom has rallied
all anti-war forces to a demonstration that promises to be the greatest
in the history of the anti-war movement, The speaker also praised
student unity as indicative of a "new orientation in radical strident
thinking away from sectarianism toward the creation of a broad mass
basis for action."
Thomas Fair
Neblett, president. of the National Student Federation of America,
declared that his organization "didn't want a war and didn't want to be
a part of the procedure that makes for war." David Schreiber, editor of
Potpourri, represented the National Student League in a
talk in which he asked for support of the proposed American Student
Union.
Dr. Harry Slochower
of the German department, who acted as chairman, stated in closing that
