Dr. Manley Reviews War, Postwar Aims
“Unconditional surrender and a sufficient degree of suffering and punishment” is the fate of Dr. Louis K. Manley, dean of the Graduate school, mapped out for the Axis yesterday in an assembly commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of Armistice day.
Dr. Manley estimates that the recent conference held at Moscow is the greatest event since the start of the war and that it indicates “victory, cooperation after the war, and an association of freedom-loving nations.”
“After the war, we must replace our wishful thinking and wishful hoping (about peace enduring) with organized force, a universal police force,'' Dr. Manley asserted.
He also pointed out that we must prevent our foreign policy from becoming a political issue.
Dr. Manley was introduced by Dr. William McMssters, pro. fessor of religious edecation, who also gave the invocation.
Faye Hunter and Betty Har-lowe accompanied the group singing of “America” and “The Star Spangled Banner.” Sue Ogden, vice-president of the Student association, was in charge of the assembly.	,
