The United States should'
react less to all that the Rus
sians do and should not be so
terribly awed by them, Dr. Ed
ward W. Barrett, clean of the
Columbia Univei sity Graduate'
School of Journalism, said thisl
week.
Speaking to the 250 people all
the second in the Liberal Arts'
Lecture Series, Minya stressed
that the United States pays too
much attention to Russia. "lf the
Soviet Union didn't exist, we
would still have a lot of prob
lenvi," he said "We must proceed
with affirming our ideas and
ideals instead of just reacting to
the actions of the Soviet Union,"
he continued
Barrett included the role of
public opinion in his speech on
"International. Persuasion." .He
cited examples of countries who
were afraid to start beneficial pro
grams because public opinion was
against them.
"Uninformed mass opinion is
a grave and seimus threat," he
said The frequency of higher
education in our time will come
near to solving this problem, he
added
Turning to the U S. information
Service abroad, he emphasized
that truth and honesty are the
greatest factors in gaining the
favor of other countries. Respect
for the United States can be ob
tained by making truth indispens
able and by having policy coin
cide with propaganda, he said.
Tho information program
should revise and stick to the
basic American principle that we
are not afraid of the free ex
change of ideas, he said.
