Depriving the Federal Government of the power to suppress the activities of sedition groups, groups, specifically advocating the overthrow of the government by force, must obviously make the government more susceptible to revolution. Surely the HLU and its associates will not contest the right of the government to put down an active revolution. Were there no Smith Act the government would be forced to differentiate between actions which could he construed to mean "advocating" the overthrow of the government and those which would actually constitute participating in a seditious uprising. Not only would such a situation create an extremely knotty...
Possibly the HLU's stand is that the real reason that the defendants in the Minneapolis sedition trials are being prosecuted is because they are Leftish in their leanings. Such a situation is far from improbable. Yet if it is actually the right of free speech that the HLU is defending, why are they not crying out against the suppression of the Bund and various pro-fascist groups?

...least 30 men organized by the HLU will join forces with the Radcliffe Forum in distributing pamphlets, driving voters to the polls, and making a door-to-door publicity canvass for Plan E. Peter Grey '44 is in charge of the campaign...
...might have been. Consisting largely of the fragments which deserted the Student Union over foreign policy, the Merger seeks to take over the old position of its predecessor--minus extreme leftist influence and minus excessive central-office control. Although the split which gave birth last year to the HLU has been paralleled in one way or another throughout the country, the dissenters have made no attempt until now to organize a successor to the potent front they broke...
...HLU, which with Swarthmore, Vassar, and Mt. Holyoke organizations forms the Student League for Progressive Action, will become the local chapter. The Student Defenders of Democracy and the Committee to Defend America will bring 90 chapters into the fold. All three groups have platforms which exactly parallel that of the HLU, so that the national program that will be decided upon next December 27 at the University of Michigan is easily predictable. It will be prolabor but anti-defense-strike, strongly outspoken for domestic democracy, but definitely interventionist and bitterly anti-Hitler. Non-interventionist liberals will not be excluded, however...
