HARVARD CONSIDERING
 LIMITING ENROLMENT
Official Declare That Time Has Come When Question is Really
 Vital One

Cambridge, Mass, Jan. 24.-The question of limitation of the number of students at Harvard university is considered at length in the annual re- port of Prof. Clifford H. Moore, chair man of the committee on instruction made public today.
 Our present augmented numbers" the report says have made more ac- curate certain familiar difficulties of housing and instruction. xxx An in- vestigation made during the year showed that large proportion of recitation and lecture rooms as well as laboratories was being employed to capacity and that rooms were often overeroWded. xxx
 Tt is evident therefore that the time has come when the question or limitation of numbers must be con- sidered. Although it is the duty of Harvard university to give the best training possible to as many duly qualified and willing students as it can deal with effectively it will sadly fail if it confuses mass production of graduates with real service Ii will not be easy to determine the exact size of the student body that can be most successfully trained and some experimentation will doubtless be needed but the main consideration must always be the educational one. A committee is now considering what measures if any, shall be taken"

who was present, led the opposition
on the grounds that the delegates
were wholly uniformed on the real
issues at stake. Following the clear
cut argument of Mahoney, Mr.. Pike
made wild and excited attack upon
the idea of calling the national
tarmer-Labor convention. He argued
that if one of the old parties nomin-
ated progressive" it would be un-
necessary for the Farmer-Labor Par
ty to have a national candidate. In
spite of the fact that Pixies confer
ence was made-to-order, the resolu-
ton against the May 30th convention
was only carried by vote CT 16 to
IL.
Mr.. Pike is not alone in this at
tempt to block the national conven-
ton. Thomas Van Lear. the business
manager of the Minnesota Daily Star,
has allowed himself and the parer to
line up with the Democratic PARTY.
1t is at present engaged in a cam
paign to show that the Communists
are behind the Fsrmer-Labor move
ment and the proposed May Both
convention.
Pike and Van Lear are typical. UNI
scrupulous opportunist politicians.
They are true representatives of the
Democratic party and its economic
interests. They are in politics for
the spoils, they know little about and
care less for the genuine Farmer
Labor movement. They will side
track and destroy it if they can to
serve the bidding OF their masters.
Mr.. Pike is now working to organ
ize a state conference of the Farmer
Labor party representatives. No
doubt his program will be to deliver
the party to 4 proposition of endors-
ing national democratic ticket.
In the meantime sentiment for the
May Both convention continues TO
grow. Every gathering of the vari-
Gus state Farner-Labor parties held
since Nov. 10, has endorsed the May
30th convention.

All Over The World
THE STRUGGLE IN GERMANY

The miseries of the harrassed work
ers of Germany were recently in
creased by the robbery of the 8-hour
day, the only achievement of the
bourgeois revolution. In spite of the
collaboration of the social-democrats
in this criminal move, the workers
all over the country are voicing
their protests against this act. In
the Ruhr district, thousands Of
miners left the pits because of the
discharge of number of workers
who refused to obey the new decision.
The only healthy result of this new
traitorous act is the continued in
crease of influence and membership
of the Communist Party and Young
Communist League, which are grow
ing daily in spite of their having
been outlawed by Germany's dictator,
General Hans Won Seeckt.
Even the intellectuals and petty
business men are now following the
leadership of the Communists as the
sole agent capable Of regenerating
the life of the nation by the setting
up of new system of society. At a
meeting OF lntellecIudlS anu SNuuShIs
organizations in Berlin, resolutions of
agreement with the Communists were
adopted and ten bourgeois youth
unions declared themselves ready to
join the struggle for the emancipa-
ton of the proletariat together with
the communists.
The Rote Fahne, central organ Of
the Communist Party, altho suppress
ed by Won Seeckt is appearing illeg-
ally, and being circulated in great
quantities, under the name of the
Rote Sturmfahne (red storm banner.)
Because of the surpressive acts,
the executive committee of the Com
munist Party mas voted to move to
neighboring country, from which
the revolutionary activities of the
working class will be directed until
the attainment Of power by the Ger
man proletariat which is conceded to
be a matter Of only short time.

not go to the bottom of things. The
more radical among the Irish in
America and the number is constantly
increasing are becoming more and
more anti-clerical. They see in the
Roman Church one of the principal
enemies of Ireland and attribute Ire
lands unsuccessful struggles in the
past to the Roman connection which
enabled Irish priests to inform the
British government through the con-
fessional of any plots against the
safety of his realm. Besides that, the
Papal Bull granting the British king
the power to rule Ireland for the con-
sideration of one penny from each
Irish house to the Vatican treasury
gave British Occupation of Ireland,
Papal sanction which to the ignorant
Catholics meant divine sanction.
The progressive Irish workers in
America believe that the capitalist
system is the main enemy of the Irish
workers as it is of all workers. But
a concerted attack must be carried
on against the Black International of
Rome and against The British govern
ment. The radical Irish workers in
America have cast in their lot with
the revolutionary movement here.

ALLY AMONG The
FARM-LABORITES
Minnesota Chairman Is
Working for Democrats

ST. PAUL, Nina bold ATTEMPT
is being made by State Chairman F..
A. Pike of the Minnesota Farmer
Labor Party to deliver the marty to
the Democrats in the event that Will
liam G, McAdoo gets the presidential
nomination. This is clear from re-
ports issued by the McAdoc head
quarters at Chicago
At the conference that was held
here November Is. sentiment of the
assembled delegates from all over the
country was unanimous, that a call
be Issued by the Minnesota Farmer
Labor Party, for a great national
nominating convention to be held at
the Twin Cities, May 80.
The delegates present were aston
ished to hear Mr.. Pike make bitter
and stupid attack upon the proposal
to hold the May Both convention.
The only clear idea to be gained from
his confused speech was that the
Minnesota Farme.-Labor Party, of
which he was careful to state he was
the legal" Chairman. should not
join in national Farmer-Labor
movement until the other state Farm
er-Labor parties showed more will
ingness to participate. His position
was that nothing should be done on
the matter of presidential nomina-
tions until after the old party con-
ventions. He further stated as his
own opinion that the Minnesota
Farmer-Labor Party should remain a
state organization, and if one of the
old parties nominated a Progress
sive," the Minnesota organization
should support him.
Now it becomes clear why he, the
legal chairman of state third party.
was in favor of nonpartisar stand
nationally Mr.. Pike is a lawyer and
a former democrat. He lost his
standing among the democrats and
joined the Farmer-Labor Party by
having himself appointed state chair
man, very strategic position be-
cause it enables him to call, as he is
doing now, hand picked conferences
in the various state congressional
districts. One of these conferences
has just been held ut which the only
matters discussed was a series of
resolutions written or inspired by
Pike. Two of these resolutions are
worthy of note. One authorized the
state chairman to call a state con-
ference and the other opposed the
holding of the May Both convention.
Tho the conference was handpicked
by Pike the resolution against the
May Both convention met with vigor-
