CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. July
1.-Two college professors told the
University of Virginia's Institute OF
Public Affairs today that United
Nations plan for organizing and
maintaining peace is an immediate
and vital need for winning the war.
Frederick L. Schuman, author and
professor of government at Williams
College, saw as an urgent necessity
"a supreme political council of the
United Nations to direct the war as
a global struggle
Prof. Schuman said. in urging the
immediate adoption of such a peace
time program, that here is our best
hope, and perhaps our only hope, to
win the war by winning the peace
through a free world order now.
Here is our chance to build the tenn
pie of tomorrow on such foundations
that no conference of diplomats
need be held, no transitional periods
of chaos be risked, no entangling
alliances be made"
Sees Plan Shortening War.
Percy E. Corbett, professor Of in
ternational relations at McGill Uni
versity, Montreal, Canada, voiced
the belief that "If our planning is
dispassionate and wise it may even
shorten the road to that military
triumph which is condition prece-
dent to a better ordering of world
affairs
Hugh Borton of Columbia Uni
versity, who is on the faculty OF the
School of Military Government es-
tablished by the Army at the Uni
versity of Virginia, and Nicholas
Dorman, former secretary OF the
Danube League, now teaching at
the College of William and Mary,
took part in the succeeding discus
sion presided over by Brooks ENEMY,
| director of the Cleveland Foreign
Affairs Council.
Says Hitler as Slipping"
Louis Lochner, chief of the Asso-
ciated Press Bureau in Berlin for
| II years. told the institute last night
! that Hitler was slipping and some
| day the crash is bound to come" but
not unless every man, woman and
child gets behind Uncle Sam with
the greatest effort the world has ever
known"
He said that there were "brave
souls" in Germany who dared op-
pose Hitler's tyranny, that the
Fue1rer was losing his psychic sense
for divining the sentiments OF the
German people and that he was
confronted with number OF serious
bottlenecks, but that nonetheless
I'VE must be unrelenting in our et-
fort to inf1ict smashing blow upon
the (Hitler) regime"
Recounting some of his observa-
ton of the German drive into
France. the 1899 Pulitzer Prize win
| ner for distinguished service as a
foreign correspondent declared:
eff there is any one military i'm
preston which I have taken here
with me as a layman, it is that of
the necessity of combating Hitler
with airpoWer and more airpower
and still more airpower."
Barr Urges Federation.
Stringfellow Barr, president OF st.
Johns College, declared yesterday
that the United Nations can and
! should offer the world unity through
| federation and offer it now as a
working alternative to Hitler's offer
of unity through conquest"
The institute will end tonight
with addresses by Senator Barkley,
Democrat, OF Kentucky and Wal
ter Nash, Deputy Prime Minister OF
New Zealand and member of the
| Pacific War Council.
