Lerner Denounces Foreign Policy (Continued from page one) and the United States," the author explained, "is to build conserva tive governments around Russia, a policy which can lead only to War with that nation. Moreover, be added, eny attempt on our part fo force leaders and systems of government upon subjugated na iions will be the quickest way to promote new outbursts of commu nism and fascism in Europe. 1 "We have to live with the Rus lans or fight with them and I don't propose to fight them," a quote borrowed from Wendell Willkie, was the way Lerner sum marized his own attitude toward the Soviet Union. "The task of this generation' is JO find a 'modus vivendi,' a way of getting along with Russia. with 3ritain. and with 'other nations. That is the' problem of the post kar world in a nutshell' the speaker stressed. ;, One of the great problems, ac ording to Lerner, is that there are too many of what he terms Tconditional Americans" who want lb win the war provided the Rus sians, the English, the Jews, or the &egroes.lose it. They look toward new outbursts of anti-Semitism, Vati-Negroism, or at least some riety of anti-ism which corre sponds to their own particular prejudices. . . Whatever the American opinion of Russian and British strength and ability as compared to that of the United States, Lerner said, their resistance bought time for this nation. Without that resis tance, America could not have sur vived. Once having won the war through cooperation with the Al lied Nations, Dr. Lerner advocates continued cooperative action in preventing a third world war. "We must see the place of America .in the world not only for the sake of the world, but for the sake of America," he recom mends. "The idea that each nation Former Penn State Supervisor Directs Armed Forces Institute United States Armed Forces In stitute•—largest school in the world —is new under the supervision of Lieutonani Colonel William Rob ins Young, former director of cor respondence instruction at the Col lege.

The idea that democ racy, an abundant economy, and the United Nations can exist is be ing bcrn." "Are we going to take part in the post-war structure or play the old game of isolation?" Lerner challenged. Isolationism, under another name, may become one of the most vicious forces of . the future world, the author warned. Because of two qua l i tie s, strength and vast territorial ex panses Lerner named Russia, .the United States, and China as the nations he believes will attain the greatest creative force in the post war era. Britain he ruled out as lacking the first qualification de spite her empire possessions. Can ada, Australia, and India, he pre dicted will be outside her empire within 50 years. The speaker praised Russia for having, found a method of inspir ing her people with her particular creed and thus attaining strength, but added that to survive as a great nation she must achieve po litical freedom. He believes that such freedom may result from the war. Lerner cited two factors as re sponsible forte cynicism of mod ern youth, a cynicism which is the basis on which the politically am bitious build militarism and com munism. On the national scene he pointed out the economy of scar city in niece of the potential econ omy of abundance which youth of the 30's faced. Exploitation of smaller nations and persecution of minorities on the foreis,ln front added its evidence to the theory that perhaps after all democracy just wasn't practical.

Fleming Urges Use Of SU Neil M. Fleming, Student Union director, asks students finding ar ticles in classrooms or on campus to turn them in at the Student Union desk rather than at other offices. It is impossible to have these articles collected, Mr, Flem ing stressed. Anyone who has lost some property should be Sure to inquire at the desk. generation, according to the Lec turer. A teacher himself, Ler n e r stressed that educators flunked rather badly in the test of the 30's. They failed, he said, to instill in their students belief in demo cratic. ideology primarily because their own faith was shaky. • The same failure must not be repeated when the United Nations try to teach democracy in Europe, Dr. Lerner warned. The United States and Britain must help to talitarsan and subjugated nations to establish democratic economies that work. When questioned by his audience, Lerner replied that he does not believe the terms social ism and democracy to be inherent ly contradictory. Predicting the length of the-war, Dr. Lerner estimated that it will take from 12 to 15 months to knock out Germany and an addi tional year to finish Japan. His strategy on the latter would in clude a concentrated land attack, naval attack with • the combined forces of the British and American fleets, and air attack from Russian and Siberian bases. The problem of converting Japan to democratic ideas the speaker sees as almost insoluble becaiise Japanese totalitarianism is firmly grounded . on religious fanaticism. One of the country's outstanding liberal thinkers, the Russian-born American author has turned out such books as "It Is Later Than You Think," "Ideas for the Ice Age," "Ideas Are Weapons." and "America Organizes to . Win the War." Slated for publication dur ing the coming season are "The Mind and Faith of Justice Holmes" and ' The New Federalist." Besides publishing his opinions in his books, Dr. Lerner writes editorials for PM and "The New Repu!llic," and was, formerly edi tor of "The Nation."
