NORMAN HAPGOOD SPEAKS ON '32 CAMPAIGN TONIGHT

SUBJECT IS "FOREIGN ISSUES IN PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN"

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Taking as his subject "Foreign Issues in the Presidential Campaign," Norman Hapgood '90 will speak at the Foreign Affairs School of Radcliffe College at 8 o'clock this evening. The Foreign Affairs School is organized by the Massachusetts League of Women Voters and is held with the cooperation of the College.

Hapgood's subject for this speech before the School was chosen because he feels that while the soundness of business depends on the reform of industry, the world has become one, and intelligent relations between the nations are also necessary to the prosperity of each, so that he is convinced that in the political arguments of the approaching campaign it will be impossible to separate the international issues from the business problems.

Hapgood, who has just returned from two years residence in Europe, mostly in Germany and France, has had many editorial connections, including an editorship of Collier's for nearly 10 years and of Harper's weekly for three years. His editorial experience and his subsequent keen interest in American politics equip him to speak with authority and penetration on this topic.

Besides writing numerous books on various subjects, perhaps the bestknown of which is "Up From the City Streets" a biography of A1 Smith done in collaberation with Henry Moskowitz, Hapgood was minister to Denmark in the Wilson administration. He was a supporter of Eugene Debs, a formidable enemy of the Ku Klux Klan, and was the first chairman of the League of Free Nations Association, now the Foreign Policy Association.
