...campaign to prevent the teaching activities of three of its own professors. Careful examination of this reproduction also reveals what appears to be a half-erased check mark in the box indicating "I would like more information about the convention."

Pressure was brought to bear on Tokyo to enlist Japan as a co-sponsor of the U.S. resolutions.
