SUCH FEAR
British Views Given
The British people do not un
derstand why they can not carry
the United States with them in
certain questions of world policy,
why there is “such fear” and re
pression of ideas in America, Vic
tor Yates, Laborite member of
Parliament told a University as
sembly audienffe Thursday.
Speaking with a definite Brit
ish accent, Yates said that peace
ful means are the only way to
solve the present world crisis and
that the British people as a whole
see this.
"No war, bombs or guns will
destroy opinions. In fact, they’re
likely to bring about just the op
posite results,” he said. “The only
way to defeat a bad idea is to re
place it with a better one.”
Yates pointed out that in Eng
land “you can say what you want”
with no fear of a congressional
investigation. We feel that when
people are allowed to express
themselves openly and freely “you
can see exactly where all the
People are.”
Commenting on the idea that
“°sePh McCarthy, (R. Wis.) is
the “medicine necessary to stamp
out a disease,” Yates said: “First
time I've heard that the way to
cure a disease is to make people
afraid to admit they have it.”
A belief that the Labor party
is infested with Communists seems
to be widespread in this country,
Yates commented. “This is not
true for the Labor platform is en
tirely different for the Commun
ist.”
“I have found that the colleges
and universities are not so prej
udiced,” he added. He has found
sympathy in intellectual circles
and feels that the intellectuals—
those who have the education, the
opportunity to base judgments on
facts—must be “completely free
to express what they feel.”
If intellectuals are free, then
the nation can feel that its lead
ership is not in doubt, he con
tinued.
It’s not because of sympathy to
the Communist ideology, for Brit
ain opposes any ideology that de
stroys thought or opinion, but
there is no dispute as to whether
Communist China should be ad
mitted to the United Nations,
Yates said.
"Britain can’t understand why
we can’t carry the U.S. on this
idea.” The present Communist
government is the representative
of the people and should be allow
ed a seat in keeping with the
present British policy of self de
termination of people.
When asked later how he could
advocate self determination in
view of the present actions of
the British government in Afri
can and Guiana colonies, Laborite
Yates said, “Don’t confuse me
with the British government, it’s
not my government in power now.”
But he continued, it’s the British
people who have forced the gov
ernment to move toward freedom
for the colonies.
“We can’t understand why In
dia isn t used more in bringing
about a settlement in Asia,” he
continued. India is respected in
Asia, and yet America does not
agree with Britain that she should
be seated in the peace conference.
Yates also expressed the opin
ion that it is dangerous to rearm
Germany. “A vast number of peo
ple are opposed to re-militarizing
the western zone,” he said. Later
he told reporters that a war be
tween the two zones of Germany
was a possibility, he feared.
Reserved seat tickets for the
game will cost $2, $3 and $4, the
athletic office has announced. Gen
eral admission tickets will also be
available Saturday morning. A
special section will be reserved for
members of Order of O and cam
pus honoraries.
Dress for the game will be suits
and heels for the women and
slacks for the men, reports Anne
Dielschneider, campus social chair
man. Freshmen men are to wear
rooter lids and freshmen women
are to wear green ribbons, Golden
berg stressed.
Preceding the game members of
Kwama and Skull and Dagger will
decorate the goal posts. Free pom
poms will be distributed by the
same organizations Saturday
morning at Charles F. Berg.
A car rally will be held start
ing at noon at Holladay park, be
tween N.E. 11th and 13th streets.
The parade will go across the
Burnside bridge, up Broadway,
down 6th, and up to the stadium.
Goldenberg urges that all students
with cars participate in the rally.
Following the game, there will
be a dance at Jantzen Beach for
all Oregon and Washington stu
dents, according to Joe Anstett,
rally board publicity chairman.
Dick Schwary and his orchestra
will be featured and regular ball
room rates of $1 plus tax will ap
ply.
A yell contest between the two
schools, exhibits of fraternity
flags, and a 21-inch television set
to be given away are also on tho
program.
