 Wilson at Yale
 Hugh R. wilson, former U. s. am bassador to Germany, at Yale:
 "The future is black for longer period than we realize. In Ger many there is not only a leader who has turned his qualities to evil purpses, but there Is carefully planned effort to carry into the fu- ture the devotion of leadership qualities to evil purposes l be- lieve that only formidable reverse will prove to the youth of Germany the basic falsity of their education. They are keyed to sacrifice and de- votion to the cause by the conviction that because they are Germans /. Then they must win, victory must be theirs.
 Rear Admiral Harry E. Yarnell, retired, at Yale:
 Isolation for us is an idle dream We must take part in what ever Is necessary to make this world a safe and decent place in which to live. To that end we are giving moral and certain alnunts of ma terial aid to China. And we should give far more. The war in Europe and the war in Asia are one and the same war-a war between des- potism and democracy"
