from the failure cf world war vet
Grams to meet community respOn-

Addressing representatives of l6
eastern colleges at wellesley Col
lege last night, she said:
I believe that what happened
after the last war was responsible
for the war we are fighting today
because the boys in the last war
lost touch with their own COM

the actual feeling of obligation to
carry on their thinking
She said the veterans grouped
themselves in blOcs and into the
Legion in their own interests
We cannot fight this war un-
less we know we are fighting for a
changed world. We are fighting to
answer questions which were set

the myth about the Germans being

them so convincingly that even
Hitler can't explain away the de
feat"
This opinion was expressed at
Camp Seeley late Friday afternoon
by Major Sedley Peck, American
World War No l veteran who was
in France with the American Vol
unteer Ambulance corps WhCA
France fell. He was sent by the
United States government to give
the officers and men an eye Wit
ness rerort of what happened IL
France.
Psychological terror is the great
est weapon the Germans have,
Major Peck said If they had net
spread that terror and the myth Of
their inyincibility for years while
they prepared for war D.. the story
might be different today. Don't
underestimate the Germans" he
warned but don't overestimate
them either, They trade on that
terror myth and give exhibition
bombing to frig;.oen civilians.
Major Peck declared the French
still are dazed by the fact that
their country was taken after %
days CT warfare.
They did not quit he said
The French fought until they had
no ammunition left. They were
