New Haven, Conn, July 5-The principle that all men are endowed with the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness will be ade- quate for the rebuilding of the world after the war, Ralph II. Gabriel, Earned professor of American his- tory at Yale University, asserted to- night in a prepared address at the University Assembly held in Wool sey Hall at Yale.
 Prof. Gabriel, who has been teach. ing during the past year at the AL lied school of Military Government in Charlottesville, Va, was intro- tiuced at the Assembly by President Charles Seymour.
 Held as the official observance of the opening of the summer term at Yale last Monday, July 3, the As- sembly was attended by Q capacity audience of trainees stationed at Yale in the Navy V.l2 and Army Specialized Training Programs, as well as civilian undergraduates.
 Prof. Gabriel warned in his ad- dress that, in dealing with the peo- pie Of Germany and Japan after the war, we will need patience and de- termination to hold fast to that which is good in our tradition"
 The liberation of the conquered peoples of Europe must be brought about by the peoples themselves, he said, we of the Allied nations can- not set the conquered peoples of Eu- rope free. All we can do is to de- feat the conqueror and destroy his power to initiate again fantastic en- terprises of conquest.
 When our other enemy has also been brought down, we can only look forward to an uneasy peace. The world has been wounded too deeply to come back quickly to hu. mare living
 "It will not be asy," he went on, ito pull the continent of Europe out of the tailspin into which civiliza- ton has fallen In that area"
 in Europe" he declared, i've are witnessing the decline of the greatest civilization that man has built. Tn conquered Europe, all those things which make up human life health of body and mind, the en- richment which comes from learn ing and the arts, and even char acter itself-havds suffered retrogres- aion."
 "Out of Europe's dark ago." Prof. Gabriel said, lis coming an army of men, women and children whose bodies have been damaged by mal- nutrition and disease and whose personalities have been warped by the phychoses born of suffering and terreg.

 We in America are helping to pay for thise catastrophe which has befalleu Europe. We are paying with what we cannot afford, the lives of our young men in Italy and Normandy"
 "As we face the uncertain years ahead" he stated in conclusion, It is well to remember one of the les sons our enemy, the Germans, h z. taught us. It is this: that in war and in peace, ideas are weapons. They may be used to destroy civili- ration and to upbuild it."
