National Guardian general manager Russ: Nixon will be moderator, introducing each psrticipant for an opening statement of his views. The panel will then discuss these opening statements and will answer questions from the floor. Since the symposium takes place a week before the elections participants have been urged to gear their opening statements to the elections and beyond = to a time in which concerned Americans will be searching for ways to improve the political, social and economic situation at home and toward understanding in international affairsesces
Ed. note: The columns of the National Guardian have been occupied with correspondence concerning the presidential elections, and the vexed question as to whether, or not, socialists should support Johnson as "the lesser of two evils". This meeting arises presumably out of the terrific interest arcused in the discussion,
