May 26.—The 51st annual convention of the National Congress of Parents and Teachers here entered its final session today as delegates delved into what they could do toward creating world un ! derstanding. Dr. Ralph McDonald, staff mem ber of the National Education Asso ciation's Washington headquarters, told the delegates world understand ing can be achieved only by the local units in their own commu nities. He recommended: Getting the information to the neighborhoods through forums, speeches, information booths and by personal contact. Stimulating contact with people of different nations by writing let ters, sending food packages and learning to know the people of for eign countries living in the com munity. • * Setting up programs so that all races can work together—such as dinners featuring various national dishes and song festivals. Leader of Panel. Dr. McDonald was leader of a panel on "World Understanding.” At last night's session, Dr. Her man Finer, political science pro fessor at the University of Chicago and former staff member of the ! economics school at the University of London, described the difficulties facing the world in trying to become , “one world.” I "It’s a queer quirk in humans,” he said, "that makes us, because we are different, proclaim that we are more beautiful, more clever than any one else.” But, he said, world peace depends on the United States, because, with out this country, no one else can make war. He declared that de mocracy—with all its faults—is the only type of government in the his tory of the world so benevolent and so careful of the rights of the ordi nary person. “We must organize and defend it with the spirit of Lincoln—with malice toward none and charity to all,” he concluded. 3,000 Delegates Attend. The convention, which has at tracted nearly 3.000 delegates, is not a policy-making session. The program has been organized with the idea of discussing the problems faced in the PTA’s four-point pro : gram — school education, health, | world understanding and parent ! and family education. Among those from the Washing ton area attending are: Mrs. Austin S. Donaldson. Mrs. Carlin Taliaferro, Roger Albright, Dr. E. R. Draheim, Mrs. Rufus G. Jasper, Mrs. G. A. Justusson. Mr. and Mrs. O.
