The need for increased interna-

stressed as important by Prof. S.
+. Fagerstrom Sunday evening, as
he addressed members of the
Christian Youth Fellowship on the
subject of Economic Foundations
For a Just and Durable Peace.

nations after she is conquered,
Prof. Fagerstrom emphasized, for

ard of living for everyone, he said.
At the beginning OF this war the
japanese had decided that they
must be self.sufficient. he stated,
but in Japan there was not enough
land in which to be self-sufficient,
so Japan decided she must steal
the land of other nations. The
Japanese, he stated, use Hitler's
viewpoint that there is no land
. which Is the sole property OF any
one nation.
The best lesson for the Japanese,
Prof. Fagerstrom said, is to de-
feat them and send them back TO
their own island where they be-
long. If we do not do this. he
