Nobel Winners Ask
Russian-british-U. :,
Post War Pact
Pearl Buck Says Third
Planetary Struggle
May Follow Present One
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1l-An appeal
for a postwar alliance between Rus
sia and Great Britain and the United
States to prevent the outbreak of
planetary war" in the future was
voiced last night at dinner COM
memorating the late DR.. Alfred
Nobel, founder Of the international
awards.
Pearl Buck, winner of the Nobel
Prize for literature in 1888, predicted
that another war might develop after
the present struggle to save freedom
for the world unless a miracle"
occurs.
Anxiety over future relations be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States on, the one hand and Russia
on the other was expressed by
Thomas Mann. 1929 literature prize
winner, who suggested that an al
lance between these countries might
be the only means OF guaranteeing
future peace.
In fictitious chronicle OF August
IS, 1864. Prof. Harold C. Urey of
Columbia University described bat
ties fought between Russia and the
remainder Of the world for control
OF the planet in a war resulting from
stupid misunderstanding" follow
ing the present war.
Prof. Urey, who won the chemistry
prize in 1884. asserted it would be
useless to establish Germany as
buf1er state after this war, adding
that mo such buffer state will be of
any Importance in the war of 1864"
Sir Norman Angel, peace prize
winner In 1888, suggested establish
ment OF future, effective League
OF Nations, and said he believed
peace could be secured only through
collective international efforts.
Speaking of the world of tomor-
row. William L. Bait, vice chairman
OF the War Production Board, said:
Il devoutly hope that it will be
a world with broader horizons than
any We have yet known. 1t must be
that sort Of world, because we have
very painfully-been learning the
1neScapable truth that men and ma
lions do not live for themselves
alone, but that all of us on this
planet are sharing common
voyage
Twenty eight recipients of Nobel
awards were honored at the dinner
which was attended by approx
mately 600 persons.
