Neutrality Way To Avoid War, Says Barnes English Ballyhoo Our Chief Menace, Author Declares “Keeping the United States out of war is the only way to maintain a decent civilization in America. It is up to people of this country to stick to problems at home and above all to seek a solution to more pressing na tional questions.” This declaration was issued yesterday by Harry E. Barnes, noted author and lecturer, who addressed a student body assem bly in Gerlinger hall on “The cri sis in World History.” “Britain and France are not our front line of defense as some people would have us believe,” the speaker warned. “We found that out in the last war. The chief menace to U. S. peace at the present time is from England —and her foreign propaganda. “Even if German should con quer Europe,” he explained, “there would be plenty of time then to go over and fight invad ing nations. The time to strike is not now when the nations are at their greatest strength, but later when they are worn out and tired of fighting.” It will be just as bad for one side as the other to win, Mr. Barnes stated. He said, though, that the best way we could win would be to stay out of the fight ing. Mr. Barnes devoted his lecture to two problems. The first was on general world crises, and the second dealt with the more ‘im mediate foreign war question.
