u Powerless to End

Mt Manresa Speaker, Basil c. Walker, Points Out In.
teresting Developments Of Conflict

American intervention, through

Basil O. Walker Of New York, econ
onic consultaht, radio commentator
and foreign correspondent for many
years In an address at the i4th an.
ilual Mt. Manresa banquet In the
Hotel Elton last night.
Mr.. Walker In his lengthy ana
analytical probe OF present Euro.
peafi conditions stated that this was
Q war TO end q system that had
been In vogue for close TO three
hundred years and that nothing we
could do or say now would avert
the Anal destruction. He did not
view the prospect Of the United
states being involved as too serious
but he did regard as serious the
duty that lies before the United
States In the western hemisphere

Mics the existence OF q Supreme

Ing TO the speaker He urged a con-
solidation Of our forces TO resist the
invasion not Of armed force but Of
ideologieS that have no common
aim other than to substitute barren
promises for full realization OF
mans destiny In this life.
Mr.. Walker traced the course Of
events In Europe down through the
centuries 10 show that this war was
but one In O series to upset 30
cial and economic order. II was his
belief, the speaker said, that we
have not actually had peace In Eu-
rope since 1914 despite the Treaty
Of Versailles.
Universal prayer for peace was
the keynote OF the message brought
10 the retreatants and their friends
