2O7 Graduate
Justice EicheL Speaker
At Commencement, Also
Receives Degree

Chief Justice Edward c. Eicher
of the United States District Court
said at the 73rd annual commence
ment exercises of National Uni
versity last night that all nations
must enjoy enough economic free
dom to nourish substantial political
freedom" before a permanently
established international society
can be expected
His talk came as the high light
of a program in which degrees were
conferred on 207 candidates, and
honorary degrees were awarded
three men, among them Gen.
Douglas Macarthur, who was rep
resented by his nephew, Bowman
Macarthur. The other honorary
degrees went to Justice Eicher and
David Caldwell of the Department
of Justice.
Gen. MarshalI's Credo Cited.
In his commencement address,
Justice Eicher, recalling Gen. George
c. Marshall's statement that this
war will not end until the American
flag Is recognized throughout the
world as " the symbol Of freedom on
the one hand and of overpowering
might on the other" said that such
a credo calls for continuous world
policing adequate to prevent weap-
ons OF war from falling ever again
into the hands Of peoples who, from
whatever cause, are bereft Of
reason"
1T calls also he continued, "for
continued monumental preparedness
by the nations that remain spiritu-
ally grounded in the Magma Charta
concepts of the rights of the indivi-
dual human being. 1t means fol-
lowing the advice of men like
Douglas Macarthur, whose judg-
ments are fashioned from the cru
chile Of realistic international ex-
perience. Our post war task will be-
come easier to the extent that we
move to make the job self-execut-
ing by modifying our own self
centered, nationalistic attitudes and
practices"
He explained that he meant bv
MS reference to attitudes and
practices" tariff and immigration
restrictions. as well as raw material
monopolies.
Axis Armed While We Dallied.
The governments of Japan and
Germany armed while the demo-
cratic nations slept" Justice Eicher
said. We know now that from the
very beginning their deliberate OBJ
1ective was world conquest. No
loyal citizen can any longer be so
dull as to doubt that the plans of
tnose two nations had their genesis
In the tragic decision by the democ-
racles. after the first World War
20 follow the will-o'-the-wisp of in
ternational aloofness and mutual
disarmament.
Large segments of our executive
and legislative leadership simply
lAled TO come to grips with realities,
ana encouraged timorous public
opinion to believe that it could
never happen here As a result
the aggressor governments got a
false picture of the real heart of
America"
