Prof T. w. Waugh discussed
Russia's position in regard TO the
World Security Conference in a
talk before the Ladies' Literary
Club, Wednesday afternoon. He
advised American opinion 10 be
flexible in the peace planning. 10
face facts. and not be too set in
its judgment OF the demands Of
other nations. He believes that in
the new world after the war, Rus
STA and the United States will be
the two greatest nations and must
keep on good terms il peace is TO
last. England will not BE- quite as
powerful as these two, and China
and France will be secOnd-class
nations for many years TO come.
he estimated According 10 League
OF Nations population figures, Prof.
Waugh estimates that Russia will
have in 1870 more than twice the
men OF military age that the Unit
ed States can muster. Thus Russia
will be the greatest land power Al
that time, the United States will
still be the greatest air and naval
power, because We will probably
still be far ahead OF Russia in in
dustrial development. he asserted.
The speaker believes that Russia
has given up her aim OF world rev.
olution, and since 1927 has devot-
ed herself 10 building up her own
country. While as a citizen OF
democratic country. he would pre-
fer TO see a free election in Poland,
he explained Stains present atti-
tude in regard 10 the Polish ques-
ton. Since tenure n power Is La
BILE 10 be long, the party who mas
control when Poland is liberated
should be friendly TO Russia While
boundaries are theoretically not
supposed to be determined by force
of arms, both disputed lines were
originally determined by that
means. At least partial control OF
Poland by Russia is needed to en-
able her TO keep a close eye on
Germany after this war, II was
pointed out. At the end OF World
War 7, America withdrew from
European politics and failed to pre-
vent Germany from rearming. Eng
land even broke the Versailles trea-
" my making one With Germany
which allowed her 10 build a Navy,
in order TO keep a balance OF power
on the continent. The speaker con
cluded that Russia could rightly
feel that public opinion in demo
cratic countries is tickle, and ina
she must be the watch dog 20 keen
Germany in line.
Another explanation for Russia
attitude to the World Security
Conference was the behavior OF
the League OF Nations 10 aggressor
nations in the past. In 1881 Wnen
Japan invaded Manchuria, she was
lot expelled from the League. Italy
was not expelled when 1t invaded
Ethiopia in 1885. But when Russia

pelled her. She therefore felt that

II. Z. Wells. the English author,
has just written a series OF articles
in which he predicts the end Of
life" IN the near future.
From the wisdom of his 70 years,
he sees very little hope for the
human race. and the mind has
about exhausted its possibilities, he
writes.
II isA matter OF months, or may
be weeks, thinks Mr.. Wells, but
the end is near!
Wei, at the age OF 70 a man has
a perfect right TO think OF his own
and OF the exhaustion of his mind.
But II Mr.. Wells weren't such a
well.respected citizen OF the world,
who. in his day. really showed
much cagacity and talent, we would
ridicure his theories as much as we
did those OF that fellow out In
Los Angeles who predicted the end
OF the world for q certain day q
few weeks ago and then was terrib-
ly disappointed because It did not
happen.
And all we dld-even before his
prophecy proved false-was to
