Warns Of Dangers
In Policing World
Senator Calls for End
Of Imperialism as Key
To International Peace
By the Associated Press.

BY tne Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 7.-Senator
Johnson, Democrat, of Colorado last
night voiced objection to partici-
patton by the United States in any
postwar program for world policing
saying this Nation should not be-
come involved in what he, called
protection of imperialistic ventures
or international cartels.
IF you would stop wars, first stop
imperialism Senator johnson said
in talk on the radio program Town
Hall of the Air.
Germany, Italy, Japan, Britain
and Russia are fighting today for
the extension and preservation OF
their respective empires" he said. 1T
they continue their present policy
Of empire building in the postwar
period, then recurring wars are as
sured, police force or no police force
isn't it going beyond reason for
American policemen to order the ma
tives of the Malayan Peninsula, In
dia, the Middle East and the great
continent of Africa to submit to
British exploitation? And isn't it
too much to ask us to use our arms
to protect the various international
cartels whose purpose it is to injure
our commerce?
After the tragic War between
the States, the North policed the

ening the scars of hate. Holland

Capt. Roosevelt, who was wounded

tarily pushing forward under heavy
enemy fire to secure an observation
post well in advance of the infantry
battalion for which he was serving
as artillery liaison officer. ...
Col. Summerall commanded field

Year. S Required Study
OF American History
Urged in High Schools
Six-Point Plan Offered
To Instruct Students
On Nations Development

A required full-year high school
course in American history is among
six recommendations included in the
reform program set up by the Com
mittee on American History to
remedy alleged neglect of American
history in public schools.
The program is indorsed by Hugh
Russell Fraser, committee chairman,
who prepared recent Nation wide
survey of college students knowl-
edge of American history which is
considered to have barred woeful ig-
norsnce of basic facts in our coun-
try's history. Mr.. Fraser subse-
quently resigned his public relations
position in the United States Office
of Education.
Others Who Signed Report.
Other signers are David Rankin
Barbee, Washington historian: DR..
Richard j. Purcell, Catholic Univer-
sity; DR.. John Donaldson, George
Washington University; DR.. Allan
Nevins, Columbia University: Dr..
Charles Pergler, dean, National Uni.
versity Law School; John Lord
O'Brian, regent of the University OF
the State of New York, and Rear
Admiral Charles S. Butler.
The recommendations, in brief
are:
All high school students should be
required to take at least one full
year of instruction in United States
history. This should include stu
dents in vocational courses. usually
exempt.
Since only SIS per cent of those
who enter high school actually grad
uate, and so per cent of this number
do not get ell-organized course in
American history at all, a required
course in American history should
be given in the first year of high
school,
1t is as doubtful a policy to en-
phasize interpretations and trends
before events and personalities in
our history are understood, as it is
to drill into the students mind mere
names, places and dates. Fact and
interpretation are both needed in
American history, but one should not
be emphasized to the exclusion of
the other.
Teachers Not to Blame.
The public should not be too
quick to blame either history teach
ers or textbooks. Those responsible
for public school history courses
should determine to what extent
essentials of history are neglected
or replaced by unwarranted en-
phasis on current events. The rec
ommendation quotes DR.. Charles A.
Beard, long an outstanding author
ity on American history: The de-
cline in emphasis on teaching of
American history has been accom-
panied by an increase in the amount
of instruction in sociology, econom-
les, current questions, problems of
democracy and other subjects re-
lating to such interests"
American history should be made
attractive to the student. The COM
mittee cites that "one of the finest
things done along this line is the
work of the City History Club of
New York" 1T recommends Junior
historical societies which arrange
contests, award prizes and stimulate
interest in local and national his
tory
Finally, the committee is "gravely
disturbed over what appears to be
overwhelming evidence of the ne
glect of geography, which is the set
ting of history"

of the various parts Of the body
of the man being tested.
Prof. Ivy, with the collabora-
ton of Drs. II. +. Adler, VIII
liam Burkhart and others, found
that air pockets meaning
bubbles Of gas, are found in the
different points Of the $4,000
feet chamber flier.
How it happens IS not known,
except that when the atmoS-
phere around a man is thin, as
is the upper atmosphere or
when the air is partly pumped
out. the air pressure within the
body IS reduced. SO, it IS be-
lieved. nitrogen gas begins to
pop out of the tisSueS--aS car
bon dioxide gas does out Of an
aerated water bottle on being
opened.
Other bodily changes which
can be observed by X-rays
caused by conditions such as
prevail in the stratosphere are
being observed.
The object Of the scientists, in
such studies, is 10 discover
ways and means for terrifying
high altitude fliers for any
stress and strain caused by low
pressure, changes of tempera-
ture and rapid acceleration Of
the body movements.

tender and they will have to
determine that contender on
the basis Of his vote-getting
possibilities, not on the way he
cuts his hair.
I think President Roosevelt's
greatest strength right now is
the fact the Republicans and
all his other haters are so
blinded by their fury toward
him that they are deceiving
themselves with the idea any
one can beat him.
Another element of his
strength is that the Republicans
are also hating each other
pretty good. AS for example
some of them hate Wendell
Willkie to a degree they would
almost rather see Mussolini
nominated than the Hoosier
fellow. But it seems to me it
is idle for them to attempt to
brush off Willkie as Landon did
because he will be in the con-
vention with a stable load OF
delegates and will most surely
have to be reckoned with.
7 WOULD not be surprised to
L see him show up with more
delegates than any man except
Dewey, who will probably be
the key man of the meeting.
I said in this column some
time ago that the Willkie crowd
wanted Gov. Warren of Califor-
MIA as their mans running mate
and I make bold to say now that
a direct bid has been made by
them for the Californian. who
is likely to be a power in the
convention and whose geograph-
ical location makes him the
most desirable of all the posi-
bilities.
I do not know how he reacted
to the Willkie overtures. War
rem has been mentioned as a
possibility for the top spot on
the ticket and sometimes when
a man gets the idea he has a
chance to be first he has no
fancy for winding up second.

They have been clothed in
such mystery and secrecy that
Congress is becoming disturbed
at the possibility of this gov

program which subsequent
Congresses, backed by popular
opinion, might find it necessary
TO repudiate.

is representing London. Wash
