Strong World Rule,
Not Military Force,
Called Key to Peace
America must rely on a strength
ened world government, rather than
her fcwn military force, if peace is
to be preserved, District adherents
to the newly organized United World
Federalists were told yesterday.
Military preparations lead to an
arms race in which one side or the
other eventually resorts to “pre
ventive” war. Cord Meyer, jr„ a
member of the organization’s execu
tive council, declared at a luncheon
meeting at the Mayflower Hotel.
The forum was sponsored jointly
by the United World Federalists and
the Federation of American Scien
tists, with Prof. Harlow 8hapley,
director of the Harvard Observatory
and president of the American Asso
; ciation for the Advancement oi
! Science, representing the latter
! group.
Siring Introduces Speakers.
! Raymond Gram Swing, radio
commentator and lecturer, presided
He introduced the speakers with an
appeal for civilian control of scien
tific research—an appeal which was
echoed by Prof. Shapley.
The famous Harvard scientist
I urged support of legislation tc
establish a national science founda
tion and advocated that greatei
attention be given to the work ol
the United Nations Educational
Scientific and Cultural Organization
the Food and Agriculture Organiza
tion, the World Health Organiza
tion and other agencies which pro
mote world co-operation and inter
' change of knowledge.
Tall and youthful, Mr. Meyer, a
wounded World War II veteran who
served as aide to former Gov. Har
old Stassen at the San Francisco
United Nations Conference, gave
the principal address.
He said the United States must
choose between three alternatives in
its effort to maintain national se
curity. The first, he asserted, was
to attempt to avoin war through
military preparedness: the second
to insure victory by an immediate
"preventive” war; the third, to help
outlaw war by participating in some
form of world organization.
Results of Militarism.
Emphasis on military measures
he said, would produce an arms
race in which this country “wil
have to give up all that has made il
worth defending in the past.”
Not only would militarism bring
about a sacrifice of civil liberties, he
charged, but "sooner or later, feai
will provoke war and one nation 01
the other will strike first in ordei
to deny the advantages of the
initiative to its opponent.”
He criticized the Baruch plan foi
international control of the a ton
bomb, contending that "a mere
juggling of voting rules” would noi
! pi event wni su cto uiuiugiun
| warfare and other means of ag
i gression are beyond control.
Turning to the policy of "pre
ventive” war, Mr. Meyer said i1
would plunge the globe Into th(
most bloody fratricide, the outcome
of which would be in doubt. Many
persons who now are friendly to
ward America would be alienated
oy an act which would be inter
preted as American aggression, ht
declared.
j • "Preventive war is a polite name
for aggression,” Mr. Meyer said
“It is the act for which we hunt
the Nazi leaders at Neurnberg. 1
believe that there are many whe
I fought bravely and well in this
j last war who would rather be ir
jail than fight a preventive war.”
World Police Force Urged.
A ripple of applause that greeted
: the statement spread throughoui
the large audience.
Outlining the policies advocated
by the United World Federalists
|Mr. Meyer urged that the United
j Nations be given the legal powei
| to administer such international
laws as were essential to the pres
1 ervation of peace.
The United Nations, he added

should have a world police force
and a powerful international arms!
inspection team at its disposal.
“Our unilateral, action in Greece
and Turkey has been explained on
the basis that the United Nations
is not yet powerful enough to as
sume such a burden,” he said. "But
the United Nations cannot strength
en itself. It is a league of sovereign
states and will remain impotent
unless its members agree to give
it the strength it needs.”

Teamwork at its best—that’s the way Reddy Kilowatt and the Electric Clock
work together! Dependable! Quiet! Efficient! So efficient that most of
us trust the timing of our personal and business lives to these two experts!
^ Efficiency is Reddy’s middle name. At the flip of a switch, he snaps into
action! He applies himself to big and little business, farming and transportation.
•
And he’s in your home, too—safeguarding your food, washing your clothes, cleaning
rugs and draperies, cookipg your meals and doing countless other tasks ...
making life easier, happier, healthier!
No, we never worry about Reddy. So most of us go a step further and
never give him a thought. Most of us do the natural thing ... we simply
take him for granted!
