we know what happened following
the previous World War when
America retreated into isolationisn,
and while we cannot be certain
that becoming international will
prevent third worldwide holo-
caust and our destruction, still we
know that if we should again re-
treat into isolationism the likelihood
of such a happening would be
almost certain"
DR.. Otenasek said that the fight
for world power during this century
is between the United States and
Russia, but made it clear that we
must distinguish between the Rus
sian government and the Russian
people. Continuing on this sub
ject, the speaker was emphatic in
her assertion that either Commu-
nism or Democracy would prevail
in the coming years, pointing out
that we Americans can help by max
ing it clear to our Congressman and
the State Department just what POI
sition we want them to take with
Russia. She held that the Christian
ideals of brotherhood and peace, as
opposed to the atheistic materialistic
ideals of Communism, are the only
hope for people whose fundamen-
tai impulse is for freedom.
The speaker was introduced by
