< VOLUME XXXIX UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, MAY 13, 1938 — NUMBER 121 Bryant Urges Planning for Future Years America Must Build Up InternalDef ense Against Old Ideas, Speaker Says The strongest defense that Am ■ericans can have at the present time in their desire to prevent war is a resistance against outworn ideas and attitudes which would destroy our country, said Stewart F. Bryant, retired lieutenant-com mander of the United States navy, who spoke before an assembly of students, faculty, and Eugene resi dents Thursday morning. Declaring that there are two types of defense, military and in ternal, the speaker advised Ameri cans to wholeheartedly support the latter, through social, economic, and peaceful means. They should look ahead, and try to promote a sense of loyalty to future genera tions, he said. Present-day scien tific and educational facilities could do much in this direction, is his belief. Students Need Training The student, who will play an important part in future world af fairs, must do his part, Mr. Stew art said. The student needs a worthwhile vocation, for which he will work for more people and less money than the average person wants to; he needs to fortify him self against adversity; he should study great men and boundless subjects to increase his sense of time and space and see the rela tion of his own existence to the rest of humanity; and he must know about evils if he is to keep other evils out, Mr. Stewart de clared. World Has Enough Brains Although there is enough educa tional power in the world to solve any problem on the face of the globe, he said, the “ways out” that have been tried—disarmament, economic conferences, and isolation—will not work. Grievances nf nations have been perpetuated by their attempts to solve them, he said. He pointed to the League of Nations as a “good idea,” that has not been worked out suitably. “I do not see any manifestation of peace in all nature, and I don’t think we will ever have it,” the speaker said. The nations of the world are not ready for the sacri fices that they sometimes have to make to promote peace, he be lieves. Additional details, page 3.
