BALKED MERGER WITH S. D. L. REVEALED IN H. L. U. PAPER

Bringing out the first copies of their new publication, "The H.L.U. Bulletin," last Saturday, the Harvard Liberal Union termed the recent merger between the Student Defense League and the Committee for Militant Aid to Britain "interesting" in their lead article, and stated that negotiations had been in progress last December for a similar merger between the S. D. L. and the H.L.U.

Conversations between the two groups had progressed to such an extent last winter, it is said, that the H.L.U. was preparing to submit the proposal for merger to its membership when "suddenly the Defense League called the whole thing off." "We were not surprised," says the H.L.U., "inasmuch as the orientation of the S. D. L. has always been towards foreign affairs."
