Urges Maximum
Aid 10 Britain
Address by Dr.. Walsh
Will Bring Annual
Meeting to Close

Participants in a roundtable dis.
cussion today at Georgetown Uni
versity on the problems of democ-
racy concluded that full aid to
Britain, short of war, was a primary
necessity for combating penetra-
ton Of totalitarian ideologies into
America.
The roundtable session was
feature Of the annual Middle Allan
tic College Conference of Student
International Relations Clubs. Re-
ports on the sessions were made this
morning at general meeting.
About 300 delegates from more
than 10 colleges were voting today
on the place for next years con-
ference. DR.. Edmund A. Walsh,
S. j., vice president of Georgetown
University, was to speak at
luncheon, concluding event OF the
conference.
Other Conferences Held.
In advising aid to Britain, the
students held that a British peacc
would be just and effective settle

of military threat to this country.
The real threat, 1t was agreed.
comes from theological penetration
by propaganda, and from racial
prejudice and general intolerance"
Other conferences were held on
the Far East and Latin America.
The participants in the latter session
agreed generally that it was de-
sirable to bring about cultural ac-
cord between Latin American coun-
tries and the United States.
The conference opened yester-
day with a welcome to delegates

DR.. Hanke Talks at Dinner.
At the dinner meeting last night
DIR. Lewis Hanke. director of the
Fispanic Foundation. Library OF
Congress, discussed relations with
South America. At an earlier meet
ing DR.. Josef L. Kunz of the Uni
versity of Toledo discussed the
European War situation.
DR.. Hanke suggested that Latin
American relations could be i'm
proved through the dissemination of
good, sound American books" to
break down cultural barriers. The
former American policy of i'm
perialism and too-frequent use of
Marines in dealing with Latin Amer
lea. he declared, had formed serious
obstacles in the way of restoring
confidence and unity in the Western
Hemisphere.
Ee warned, also, that the United
States must stop regarding South
America as a Balkans if il is to
pursue successful policy in foster
ing closer relations.
Italy Called Liability"
Dr.. KunZ who is an instructor In
international law and formerly rep
resented Austria at the League OF
Nations sessions at Geneva, ex.
pressed the opinion that Great Brit
ain would win the war if 1t were ex-
tended indefinitely. Germany is in
better strategic position to wage
a successful short war, he declared.
Great Britain's success in the
Mediterranean and in the Adriatic,
he said, greatly strengthens her
position and should afford her bases
for the protection of the Suez Canal
and the bombing of italy.
