In the last Of the Baptist Family
Night supper series. Wednesday
night, Prog. e. W. Waugh OF the
Michigan State Normal College.
gave a most interesting and thought
provoking message upon the topic.
Collective Security or Chaos" He
said that unless we think through
and plan for a peace now. we will
lose the peace after our boys have
defeated the enemy. And difficult as
is winning the war. to build a peace
after a war is even more difficult as
history shows"
In the first World War. Ameri-
cans defeated the enemy and then
threw away the peace. first because
they didn't like President Wilson.
and secondly because the two-thirds
majority in the Senate required to
ratify a treaty makes almost any
real treaty impossible.
Prof. Waugh says we are Wit
Messing the death OF an era, in
which each nation demands absolute
sovereignty In International rela-
tons. Sixty some nations each hold
ing that they alone shall judge the
right and wrong OF any problem arts
ing makes peaceful settlements as
absolutely impossible as It would be
for so individuals each claiming the
absolute authority to judge all diff
ferences between themselves and
others he said.
Just as the states in this country
surrendered some Of their sovereign
ty to the national government aud
allowed a third party, the Supreme
Court to adjudicate differences be-
tween the states. so America must
cooperate with other nations and
allow a world court to settle diff
culties between nations. the speaker
contended.
In the second place, Prof. Waugh
said that permanent peace was i'm
possible unless the world after the
was was organized economically,
with as few trade barriers as posi-
BILE, so that all nations might pro-
cure the raw materials needed. IAN
history shows that when nations are
unable to get the things they need,
they will fight for them" Prof.
Waugh said.
''In the third place we must work
toward a world state" said Prof.
Waugh. "if we hope to save the
peace. While Clarence Streit's
Union Now might not be the final
plan evolved. at least 1t is a fruitful

Communism in China Is a very

Russian communism. It means the
peasant owns his land and receives
returns from il.
DR.. Hanna feels that Americans
are inclined 10 underestimate the
Chinese. That they are not going
TO give up be is certain. LAS a
people, they are utterly rational;
and although they may have re
ceived unfair treatment from
Great Britain and America in
times past, they realize that that
treatment does not begin to com

tention TO the sense Of humor OF
the Chinese and TO their enjoy

Dr.. Willard A. Hanna. OF the
Michigan State Normal College
English department, gave the ad-
dress at the February dinner OF
the Men OF the Congregational
Church Wednesday evening. DR..
Hanna spoke on the topic. Some
Phases OF the War in the Far East.
His residence IN China gave him
the opportunity TO evaluate the
character and the power OF the
Chinese people to whom he espe-
cially referred. A peace-loving
people, they are among the best
soldiers In the world he asserted.
Conscious OF the rightness OF their
cause they will fight on" said DR..
Hanna, until the Japanese are
driven out OF China"
1t is the belief OF Dr.. Hanna that
the Chinese will play a leading
part in the future plans OF the war.
China will carry on in spite OF all
obstacles. The struggle OF the last
few years has brought a new unity
to China. In their remarkable
leader they have, he believes, one
OF the greatest men Of the present
time. Only Chang Kai-shek can
unite the Oriental peoples. At
the present stage he is using diplo-
macy OF the highest order in en-
deavoring TO bring India more vital
ly into the war. But IL must always
be kept in mind that the democra-
tic leaders in China are interest
ed chiefly in democracy for all peo-
pies. II this means that British
imperialism must go, so far as the
Orient is concerned. II must 90. DR..
Hanna said that he did not believe
the Western nations would have
sufficient influence in the Fa.
East after the war to reestablish
their claims to extra-terr.toriality
The hope OF the future. he believes,
is in a closed alliance between the
two strong democracies. -the Unit
ed States and China. China trusts
US and we must trust and cooper
ate with China for our mutual
good" he concluded.
