Judge Talks
Of War Aims
Justice! Arthur D. Hay, newly
appointed to the Oregon supreme
court, spoke to Salem Rotarians
Wednesday In the topic, "Why are
We lighting This War?"
Justice Hay declared that Amer
ica's first war aim was to win but
believes that the basic issue in
volved is a clash between two dif
ferent ideologies, collectivism and
democracy. The theory of democ
racy, based upon common law,
has been evolving since the Mag
na Charta, he continued. At pres
ent the democracies are ruled by
the desire of their people to be
good, whereas the collective states
depend upon coercion to obtain
the will of the leader. He ex
pressed the belief that peoples in
the collective states must be en
lightened to the democracit man
ner of thinking. . ' .
