“It would bo u major intellec
tuul tragedy if we carry on the
diviNlon between science and the
humanities," according to Jacob
Hronowtki.
Bronowskl, a senior fellow at
the Salk Institute for Biological
Studies, gave the first of a se
ries of Condon lectures on "The
Philosophy of Contemporary Sci
cnce" Monday night.
He concentrated on physics
Monday and will examine biology
at 7:30 p.m today in room 150
Science.
lie outlined the "scientific rev
olution," some 70 years old, as
an example of how scientists
must be “dedicated to what they
are doing, not just a group of su
perior mechanics."
Two significant events, the dis
covery of radioactivity by the
Curies and the composition of the
atom by J. J Thompson, led the
way into today’s fast expanding
world of knowledge, he said.
lironowski said that such dis
coveries would be "inconceivable"
in the 1800’s, “revolutionary” in
the 1900's, and “commonplace”
by the year 3000.
"This is the case with all hu
man progress," he added. "These
developments were directed by
people who didn’t understand
the scale, implications, and long
range effects of their discoveries."
Using Plunck’s quantum the
ory and Einstein’s theory of spe
cific relativity as examples, he
said that "the universe consists of

a series of relations."
"Understanding must come
from a series of signals spread
out from you. We can't measure
anything except by our own stan
dards.”
Einstein, according to Bronow
ski. developed the 20th ventury
concept that “all intellectual con
ceptions should be based on
things that you can actively car
ry out.”
“The world does not exist out
side of you, but you are an inte
gral part of it,” he continued.
Today, he said, the scientific
profession has developed a will
ingness to be worng, a humility
with which to face the times and
strive for active solutions.
In conclusion, Bronowski said
that “progress is made of being
able to be wrong, to understand
things and not to dominate.”
Catholic Educator Outlines
American Foreign Policy
By TOM LOWE
Emerald Staff Writer
“ 'We have promoted the gen
eral recognition that nuclear war
cannot be used as an instrument
of policy,’ stated Secretary of
State Dean Rusk about the great
est achievement of United States
foreign policy.”
This is how Reverend Frank
Costello opened the World With
out War seminar Wednesday.
His topic was “U.S. Foreign Pol
icy and World Peace.”
Reverend Costello is executive
vice president of Seattle Univer
sity, former head of political sci
ence at the same university, and
a member of Washington State
Educational Television Commis
sion.
Costello outlined the way that
the United States approaches in
ternational situations: “First, we
dwell on the differences and not
the similarities between Amer
icans and foreigners.
In North Viet Nam
Eyewitness Tells
Of Bomb Effects
By JAQI THOMPSON
Emerald Staff Writer
An eyewitness to the effects of
bombing in North Viet Nam, who
also had a chat with Ho Chi Minh,
will speak at 3:30 p.m. today in
the Student Union Ballroom.
Barbra Deming. who spent 11
days (from December 22, 1966,
to January 2, 1967) in Viet Nam
with three other American
women, went to "see with my own
eyes what our government is do
ing over there. 1 wasn't sure it
was doing what it said it was
doing.”
Miss Deming's need to see for
herself and her refusal "to accept
our government’s judgment that
these people are our enemies,"
were important enough to her
and her companions to cause
them to defy the U.S. govern
ment in order to take the trip.
The government is now asking
that the four women turn in
their passports. They will not
comply, Miss Deming said. She
expects their passports to be de
clared void, and accordingly is
planning to fight it in the courts.
In a telephone voice that
sounded gruff, almost masculine,
Miss Deming strongly asserted
her conclusions about the U.S.
government, the Vietnamese, and
the war in general:
“I found out our government
was lying to us. We are not
bombing just ’steel and concrete’
as they like to say.
“There is clear proof ... in
the ruins of schools, playgrounds,
churches, pagodas, houses.
“Again and again, place after
place, we saw the effects of ‘lazy
dog’ bombs. (These bombs are
designed to scatter steel pellets
in explosion.) Why do we keep
on using them; they have no
effect on big buildings, but have
a grave effect on humans.”
After talking with many Viet
namese people (they spoke in
French or used an interpreter)
Miss Deming can “see no way
they (“they" includes the North
Vietnamese and Viet Cong) are
threatening us.” She stressed the
absolute “determination of these
people to be independent . . .
they will never surrender.”
Although she hesitated to use
adjectives to describe Ho Chi
Minh, since “I'm not good at
thumbnail sketches,” she called
him “a remarkable man,” “in
formal,” direct,” “shrewd,” “hu
mane," “he knows very much
what he is doing,” and “we spoke
English with him.”
The interview with Ho Chi
Minh was arranged by the Viet
namese Woman's Union, whose
guests the four were.
She said it is “utterly absurd”
and an “utter fantasy" that there
is communist (especially Chi
nese) backing behind any of the
Vietnamese
Night travel was safest, and
the women never went farther
than 70 miles from Hanoi, always
returning to their hotel to sleep.
Their hotel was once a French
one, but has been renamed Hotel
Reunification, since “reunifica
tion is most important to the
Vietnamese.”
Miss Deming and her compan
ions are currently touring and
talking to inform U.S. citizens
“what our government is doing”
and to encourage all citizens to
do whatever they can to stop the
war.
Miss Deming is a member of
the Committee for Non-Violent
Action, which she describes as
a radical pacificist organization.

“Second, all too often we feel
that we are dealing with morally
inferior people.
“Third, we have a utopian sense
of mission. Our foreign policy ob
jectives often rest on lofty ideal
ism.” He cited President Wilson’s
justification for the United States
entering the first World War:
"It was our effort to make the
world safe for democracy.”
Costello went on to summarize
a speech given by John Kenneth
Galbraith, a leading economist
and former ambassador to India,
in Seattle last October.
Galbraith divided U.S. foreign
policy in the period 1945 to the
present into three stages.
The first stage, called the
“First Generation,” covered the
years 1945 to 1952. Overshadow
ing other events of this period
was the establishment of the
United Nations with the United
States a prime leader.
It was also during this stage
that the United States declared
that it would help free people
defend themselves against totali
tarianism. This policy contrasted
with our former isolationist
stand.
This concept was embodied in
the Marshall plan.
The “Second Generation” of
foreign policy was developed
under Eisenhower and John Dul
les and lasted from 1952 to 1961.
The one thing that can be gen
eralized about this era was that
there was a de-emphasis of reli
ance on the U.N. and more reli
ance on regional collective alli
ances like NATO and SEATO.
Unlike the previous period, mili
tary aid dominated, although ec
onomic aid was still provided, he
said.
The “Third Generation”
stretches from 1961 to the pres
ent. Galbraith said that this pe
riod is distinguished by the gen

Costello also mentioned Presi
dent Kennedy’s famous American
University speech. Kennedy
called for a re-examination of
Americans’ attitude toward peace.
“Too many think it is impossible;
too many think it is unreal,” Ken
nedy satd. People see war as in
evitable.
Kennedy also called for a re
examination of Americans' at
titude toward the Soviet Union.
He said that despite what we
think of her leaders, we can still
admire the Russian peoples’ acts
of courage, especially in World
War II when twenty million Rus
sians died.
Kennedy added that the United
States and Russia are almost
unique among the world powers
because they have never been at
war with one another.
America’s abhorrence towards
violent revolutions is puzzling.
“We forget that our Very exis
tence began in a violent revo
lution,” Costello pointed out.
Yet when people desire to
overthrow a government to
achieve the ends that we de
sired in our Revolutionary War,
Americans look on in alarm. It
would seem that Americans
would be the most sympathetic
people to such revolutions, he
ventured.
Costello concluded by saying
that the basic documents such a6
the Declaration of Independ
ence should be reviewed to find
if what they contain is still vi
able and can be applied to U.S.
foreign policy today.
