Disputes Hutchins' Stand.
DR.. Paul F. Douglass, president Of
American University, presided at the
breakfast and took issue with Robert
M. Hutchins, president Of the UNI
versity Of Chicago, on the question
of college education for veterans.
He quoted President Hutchins as
saying the CT Bill of Rights in its
present form will make hobo
jungles" of American universities,
and that veterans will not 60 to col
lege If they can get jobs
That is not true" DR.. Douglass
said. 1T is against the whole ira
dition of free education. President
Hutchins' idea is the aristocratic
idea that only few chosen people
are competent to have higher edu-
cation" ,:~t

States has tangled with Britain
He admitted concern over those and
many other situations.
Possibly having in mind various
declarations by British and Russian
leaders as well as by organized
groups in this country, Mr.. Roose-
welt added:
Those situations are not as easy
or as simple to deal with as some
spokesmen, whose sincerity l do
not question, would have us believe.
We have obligations, not necessarily
legal. to the exiled governments, to
the underground leaders and to our
major Allies who came nearer the
shadows than we did"
Choices Not Possible Now.
At the moment, Mr.. Roosevelt said,
liberated countries are too torn in
ternally, too many Allied citizens
still are imprisoned in Germany
for the people to make their choice
Of self-government.
1--WE and our Allies have a duty
which we cannot ignore" the Presi-
dent said, ITO use our Influence to
the end that no temporary or pro-
visional authorities in the liberated
countries block the eventual exer-
else of the peoples right freely to
choose the government and institu-
tions under which as free men they
are to live"
Diplomats suggested this put the
President on record against the
imposed return of exiled govern
ments and also against minority die
tatorships which might spring up
within those countries.
Furthermore, it indicated the de-
velopment of a basic new policy
toward Poland - that while the
United States continues to recog-
nize the Polish government at
London and ignore the one at Lublin,
Its support for the London group
has become more formal than real
and its ultimate attitude on Polish
rule will be determined by the re-
actions of the people themselves.

Specifically on the point of the
Atlantic Charter, Mr.. Roosevelt de-

LONDON, Jan. g. ~ In the first
German reaction to President
Roosevelt's message to Congress, the
Berlin radio tonight said "one thing
is obvious: The Allies are united
in their aim to break Germany's
spine and with 1t the spine Of
Europe"
The broadcast, quoting the Ger
man DNB agency, said, important
problems of peace and reconstruc-
ton were not mentioned by the
President"
The German broadcast said 'the
main impression from President
Roosevelts message to Congress is
that he tries hard to minimize
Allied disunity about methods OF
warfare and war aims"
The broadcast said the political
questions of Poland and Greece
were dealt with in phrases express
ing nothing and mention of
likely later realization of the Allan
tic Charter" 1t asserted that exiled
governments who put their hopes
in the Charter will be disap-
pointed"
IF Roosevelt declares that the
war is only won when the last Nazi
has capitulated, he pronounces
verdict over himself and his war"
the broadcast said. Never does any
German think of capitulation In the
face of the enemy's annihilation
plans. The German people have
amply proved that they are able
to make the hardest sacrifices for
the task they have set themselves"

apply 1t in more exact military
and not a political sense.
The President said this is the
"most critical phase of the war" and
he entered plea to the American
Congress and people not to let Allied
differences divide us and blind us
to our more important common and
continuing interests in winning the
war and building the peace"
Calling on the United Nations to
put victory and real peace ahead
Of differences over detail, Mr.. Roose-
velt declared:
This new year of 1945 can be the
greatest year of achievement in
human history.
1945 May Bring Victory.
"1945 can see the final ending OF
the Nazi-Fascist reign Of terror in
Europe.
''1945 can see the closing in of the
forces OF retribution about the GEN.
ter Of the malignant power of i'm
perialistic Japan.
Most important of all-1945 can
see the substantial beginning of the
organization OF world peace.
1t must be the justification of all
the sacrifices that have been made.
While taking strong stand
against misuse of power" in the
war settlements, he opposed per
fectionism" in this country's ap-
proach to those problems.
After the last war, he said, 1--WE
gave up the hope of gradually
achieving better peace because
we had not the courage to fulfill
our responsibilities in an admittedly
imperfect world"
Mr.. Roosevelt cited two specific
areas of Allied difYerence-Poland
where British and American policy
clashes with that of Russia, and
Greece, over which the United
