National Education Association,
and Arthur H. Kruse, retiring
director of United Community
Services.
DR.. Carr said teachers are play
ing an important role in making
education q great factor in the
postwar peace. He said this was
being aided by teacher exchange
programs under the Fulbright Act,
as well as. by a $500, 900 fund for
relief Of teachers abroad
He said that If the United States
Is to remain at peace, it must win
friends abroad and strength at
home through education. The
speaker explained that this can be
accomplished in several ways. in
cluding the encouragement of use
Of about 100 American libraries
abroad by the people Of the coun-
tries they are in.
Lists Three Problems.
Mr.. Kruse said the well-being Of
the citizen and the kind of COM
munity developed results from
what educators put into, their
teaching, with emphasis on de-
velopment Of self reliance and
without the. expectation Of COM
munity aid. There are three big
problems. he said. which must be
remedied 'tto build a stronger
force for freedom" These. he de-
clared, are failure to earn a living,
with relief rolls the result; failure
|of parents to rear their children
correctly, with juvenile delin-
|quency rsulting. and failure to
live successfully with society.
He said adjustments. therefore,
must be considered matter Of inn
portance by all teachers groups.

which wanted everything they
had in the top category"
IF everything is urgent, nothing
is urgent" he added.
Criticizes Moody Plan.
Mr.. Small also took exception to
q proposal advanced by Senator
Moody. Democrat, of Michigan
that the 1858 defense appropria-
tons be cut several billion dollars
by substituting contractural au-
|thority for cash outlays in cases
where the money would not actu-
ally be needed until 1854.
Such a system formerly was in
effect but abandoned by Congress
several years ago. Mr.. Small said
it would not help the American
taxpayers by zone dime" since the
Government does not take steps
to raise funds by taxes until such
time as 1t will be spent.
