Sheldon, lecture Thursday night. Tracing the history of western Europe, lie showed how liberalism was apparent in the countries of western Europe until Hitler began to take over. Totalitarian policies, which paralize liberalism, came in as a result of humiliation. The future of liberalism, said Dr. Sheldon, will depend upon the fre quency and severity of war. and I the opportunities for economic equalities among the different, countries. The prospect is not bright in Europe, particularly in Germany and Italy, but the profes sor thinks Russia, China, and Bra zil have chances for its develop ment. If the allies win the war, liber ;\l istic policies will prevail, Dr. She 1 don predicted, , but should the to talitarian powers win, all libera 1 istic tendencies will cease. John Locke was the first to de velop the theory of liberalism, he explained. Beneath the carrying out of the liberalistic policy are the elements of Christianity anti science. Christianity represents the ethical side; and science, the in ! tellectual side, the belief that man. has the intelligence to carry out liberalistic ideas, and to solve the I problems of the universe, Dr. Shel don said.
