...Dictator Mustafa Kemal is now driving ahead with a Five Year Plan to industrialize Turkey and make her self-sufficient. In this program the building of cotton mills was put first "so that the Turkish people shall no longer wear the imported cotton shirts of economic slavery to the Imperialist Powers." Last week in this defiant spirit General Ismet opened at Bakirkoy the first of several new State cotton mills, a magnificent plant of latest design with 9,000 spindles, 335 looms and a production of 9,500,000 yards of cotton cloth per year...

Our protest against Militarism and Imperialist War was to take the form of an Armistice Day demonstration which was to precede the parade of the Cadets by more than fifteen minutes. In fact, we feel that the cadets should be in sympathy with our anti-war ideology, as should every sane human being...
...fact as you have seen fit to print. One obtains the impression from your editorial tone that liberalism is synonymous with passive indifference to the menaces of war which are being brought home to every liberal minded student in every national development. We need only point to Fascist Germany, Imperialist Japan, and the armament competitions in the face of disarmament conferences. To us Armistice Day is significant time to render a protest against such indifference as we find to these dangers. As members of Harvard University we feel that our protest should be conducted on the grounds of the University...
