" Sponsor of Meeting Admits Anti- ‘War Gathering Was Not Called Officially. SOME ANGER EXPRESSED Second Session Fails to Take Any Action. By the Assoclated Press. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., January 1.— Denial that the student volunteer movement convention was in any way connected with or responsible for a stadent mass meeting here Sunday which adopted a “non-resistance res- olution” was made In a signed state- ment issued by leaders in the gather- ing. “The meeting was purely individ- ual and had nothing to do with the student volunteer movement conven- tion,” it was asserted. The statement was signed by Howard P. Becker, a student at Northwestern University. The mass meeting, which was at- tended by many convention delegates who had misinterpreted its purposes, adopted a resolution talllnl; upon “the students of America” to pledge them sel\ex on Armistice day, “Fefuse “thenceforth. to wid In " the prosecution of war, either directly or indirectly.” Regret for Meeting. Becker, who is an accredited dele- gate to the volunteer convention, de- clared in his statement that the ir- regular announcement of the mass meeting from the convention floor Is “deeply regretted. “Eight of those in charge of the informal meeting regret there has been misunderstanding concerning its scope, and take this means of setting the matter straight,” Becker declared. | The meeting, Becker's statement continued, was not representative of any particular group or section of the convention but was a gathering of those interested in discussing war from the viewpoint of non-resistance. The actions taken are not to be con- sidered as reflecting the sentiment of the convention but only of the in- dividuals attending this particular gathering. The wording of the resolution re- garding non-resistance is unfortu- nate in that it might create the im- pression that it was passed by their student body. was not held in de- fiance of the wishes of the business committee of 1l onvention, it was announzed on the wing to ignorance s no effort made by the convention to suppress the meeting or the discusion. An announcement of another meeting for a discussion of the same subject was requested through regular channels, in accord- ance with the rules of the conven- tion adopted by the students them- selves and was granted.” The call for the second meeting ‘was announced from the convention {:lul(orm this morning by the presid- ng officer. Only a fad attended the meeting held this aftirnoon and no action was taken. Res: ent of the Sunday action was oust: pressed by student del! formal aiscussion groups. this atter- noon. Becker signed his statement as member of the National Student rum. Our Wish— By thé Associated Press. o BERKELEY, Calif,, December 27.— ‘Will the population of the world ever increase to such numbers that the food suppy will run out? “No predicts Prof. C. C. Plehn of the department of economics in the University of Califor-. nia. But the professor qualifies his nega- tive by saying that if the population of the world ever increases as fully as it has the power to, there certainly will be a shortage of food. He explains that, as a matter of statistics, this probably never can happen, since events and conditions always Intervene to pre- vent overpopulation. Yet, he concedes, in certain coun- tries this economic overpopulation has occurred. He cites the annual famines in China and India, which, he contends, are due to the fact that the birth rate never has been kept down In those countries and consequently the food supply proves inadequate. — = = =) , , With a Bryant Boiler comfort.
