Lindsay Cautions Push
Of Europe Federation
Americans must not force the
pace in the formation of a Euro
pean federation," Kenneth Lind
say, British author and statesman

United States in a New Setting,”
Lindsay told the group that just as
the federation of the American

neither can a stable European fed

“The idea of Europe is reborn
from dangers menacing a culture.”
Lindsay reported. He said that
Communism might merely be a
phase through which the world is
passing, and that the new Europe
bared on fear might not be per
manent "in the eyes of eternity.”
Lindsay stated that there are
actually four "Europes.” each with
distinctly different political and
cultural backgrounds. He com
mented briefly on the Mediterran
ean Europe, Middle Europe, Scan
danavia, and the vast Eastern

Action As Big Power
Necessary' - Commager
"The United States has to act
like a big power without a long
period of preparation,” said Henry
S. Commager, speaking to a ca
pacity audience in the Student Un
ion ballroom Monday night.
The transition from a relatively
unimportant to a vital power in
the world was made during the
last quarter-century, before the
people were prepared intellectually
or emotionally, he continued.
Enumerating his ideas for the
way the United States should ful
fill her obligations in the realm of
foreign affairs, he began the ten
point group by citing the neces
sity for adequate machinery fen
the conduct of foreign affairs.
"The United States must culti
vate the habits of a great power,’’
he said, concluding the address.
We must create an atmosphero
where prudence and intellectual
and moral freedom can flourish ;j
discouraging policies may cripple
us abroad, and we can’t ask for
outside confidence if we don’t have
internal confidence, he maintained.
