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

"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.

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."
