Historian Favors World Organization To Settle Post-war Problems (Editor’s note: This is the first of a series of interviews with faculty members on postwar problems.) By MARJORIE YOUNG Formation of a. world-wide organization to settle post-war world problems and the establishment of a s+rong international police force are advocated by Dr. Dan E. Clark, head of the his tory department at the University of Oregon. “This, time the United States must take part in post-war settlements and -In any organization like the League of Na tions,” Dr. Clark said. That the United States did not do this after the. .first., world war and that the League of Nations had - no police force with which to -hack up its decisions-were cited ;_fts strong, factors.in the present •outbreak.1' " 2 Dr. 'Clark conrpared the lack of an international police force I to a society in which individuals ;refused.tQ support a police force, -making' each individual respon sible for his own property.-Gang sters’ could ’pick 'off'the weaker 'ones one at a. .time, gaining -strength enough finally to take Ion the stronger members,■ - . . .. ^tart “Hitler and Mussolini could -not have gotten a start had there $2.98 Little gabardine rain hat... a real "smoothie" for wet weather and such!

Dr. Clark believes that after the period of post-war adjust ments, the police force should regulate only international rela tions of the nations, but that during the adjustment period some control of internal affairs of nations might be necessary. Order Within ‘‘In France and Norway after the war, patriots may try to kill off the Quislings among them, and it will be necessary to have some means of keeping order within those countries,” the his torian said. To Franee and Italy, accord ing to Dr. Clark, should be given a chance to have an election de termining the type of govern ment they think would be best. He commented that he did not believe this could lead to another Hitler or another Mussolini, be cause the people know what it is to be ruled by a dictator. Exact Plans Impossible “People’ who demand that de tailed plans be made now for the post-war world are wrong,” Dr. Clark explained, “because it is impossible to formulate exact, non-changing methods until we know what conditions will have to be met.” Generally Dr. Clark favors the idea of an international organi zation based on the foundation of the present League of Na tions, but with “more power back of it.” Differences Separate People Prospects of a world union were regarded as impractical by Dr. Clark, who declared that ra cial and language differences and geographical distances would separate people too much. He said, however, that there might be some hope for federated states in Europe, particularly a feder ated or united states of the Bal kans. “Boundary settlements are go ing to be one of the biggest prob lems. It would be best to wait and see if a system of federated states would work. Anything that will minimize the importance of national boundaries will be a help toward future peace,” Dr. Clark said.

The pipe was in the house mother’s bathroom and that room and the basement were flooded. “Water was all over everywhere,” said one of the girls. Firemen who came to the rescue, piped the steam out of the house with such a minimum of noise and confusion that the girls upstairs didn’t even know what was going on until it was all over. The excitement started when a freshman seeing the steam, called the fire department. Only casualty was slight burns suffered by the housemother.

The team still lacks height and seasoning, with at least three of his five probable starters being freshmen, and three of them un der six feet—Bob Caviness, 5-feet 10-inch, and Luke Baccelleri, 5 feet 10 inch. But they are .all fast boys, and snappy ball hand lers, according to Coach “Hobt^'’ Hobson, and they are rapidly ac quiring as much experience !as hard drill can give them. George Bray, 6-foot, 4-ineh center, from Southern Oregon college of education is hopping about on a sprained ankle. He may not see action during the whole game Friday, but it is quite possible that he will be in thele pitching part of the time, accord ing to Hobson. If he does not playi4 his place will be filled by Kenneth Hays, towering 6-fodt, 7-inch alternate center from Waitsburg,. Washington.
