In the dispatch Pinkley describes the Germar people as being “in deepest gloom’ concerning the four-power confer ence scheduled for Moscow, be cause they are confident that the leading powers of the world will not be able to agree on a peace treaty for their country and Ger many will remain divided between the nations. Dispatch Stated The dispatch also stated that ii new Hitlerite leaders would again appear in Germany, small groups of German people would again be willing to join them. “The United States is the great est stabilizing influence in the world today,” Baillie said, as he described the plight of the other nations. British Power Declining British power is declining and the country is poor; Italy is again being over-run by Fascists and “the people are looking for a strong man to lead them out oi their misery;” Finland is attempt ing to pay reparations to Russia in order to get Russian troops out of the country; and Belgium is recovering "not so well” from the effects of the war, Baillie said, in his summary of the world situa tion. A third world war is not on the way in the near future be cause the United States is the only nation in shape to wage war, Baillie told his audience of news papermen. There is no danger from Russia at present since the country is devastated from the western border to Stalingrad. “The United States is now iso lated by its wealth and power,” the UP president said. War Still On “Critical conditions prevail all over the world, politically speak ing,” Baillie asserted. “War is still, in a sense, going on from the point of view of the control of men’s lives and minds.” Baillie was introduced to the delegates by George S. Turnbull, dean of the University school of journalism and toastmaster of the banquet. Preceding the speech, the Eu gene Gleemen, under the direction of Theodore Kratt, dean of the music school, entertained with several songs.
