COLUMBUS. Ohio, March g.
Vice President Wallace declared
yesterday that the United States
was being flooded with propa-
ganda for dangerous forms of iso-
lationism" which could lead to a
third world war.
Il am convinced he said, that
we cannot have national security
if we follow an isolationist or excess
lively nationalist policy"
The Vice President, who spoke at
a conference on christian Bases of
World Order at Ohio Wesleyan
University in Delaware, Ohio, and
before a group of farmers here, told
the Columbus audience:
With our country fighting for
her life against aggressor powers on
the other side Of both oceans, hardly
any one in this country is now will
ing to admit openly that he is an
iSOlatiOniSt. Nevertheless. the coun-
try is being flooded with propa-
ganda for new, subtle and there
fore dangerous forms of isolationism
which, if adopted, would lead
straight to World War No g."
Examples Cited.
He said examples of the propa-
ganda we're statements such as
these.
That war is inevitable and the
United States must have the largest
Army, Navy and Air Force, that
high tariffs should be erected, that
American efforts to raise living
standards of other countries would
lower them here and that our Gov

education everywhere in the world
MI. Wallace pictured national
security as "our No / business when
we talk about postwar planning We
want to be secure not only against
war, but against the suffering caused
by business depression and unem-
ployment."
He asserted he feared World War
No. 3 would be inevitable unless the
Western democracies and Russia
come to a satisfactory understands

Prevention Course Urged.
My view, and I am convinced
that it is the majority view Of the
American people" he added, sis that
rather than remain an armed camp
waiting for the inevitable Worlc
War No. 3, it is more practical fol
US as a Nation to throw the weight
Of our influence behind world wide
efforts to prevent such a war"
He asserted the welfare of the
United States and that of the other
nations were closely related. "anc
the most effective assistance we car
give is the kind which helps Other
countries to develop their agricul,
ture and industry, and which at the
same time increases our own pros
perity.'

A listener in the Delaware audi

Continuing his speech, he said.

without close and trusting
understanding between Russia anc
the United States, there is grave
probability of Russia and Germany

The Vice President conceded thai
other nations could lay the ground
work for another war, despite this
country's constructive efforts,
For example, such a war Woulc
