RING OUT THE Maroon and Gold RING IN THE 1 1 OLD! Published By And For Elon Students NEW! 1 VOl 1 ;i 11. ELON COLLEGE, N. C., SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 1945 NUMBER THIRTEEN NEW MAROON & GOLD STAFF APPOINTED if 3f Jf )f if if BRETTON WOODS-DUMBARTON OAKS DISCUSSED Peace Analyzed By Dr. Eugene Pfaff O f International Relatioiis Coimcii May Day Attendants The preliminary plans for world | peace and the organization of related programs for a world economy were analyzed by Dr. Eugene Pfaff of Chapel Hill on April 10 at an assembly in Society Hall. Dr. Pfaff is an execu tive secretary for the southern branch of the International Relations Coun cil, a subsidiary of the Carnegie | Foundation. | Dr. Hans Hirsch of the Department j cf History presented the guest speak- j er on behalf of Pi Gamma Mu, hon-| orarjj social science organization. j Problems discussed were of vital im portance to Americans, ar^d were analyzed approximately as follows: Dumbarton Oaks is one brick, and only one, in the building of a House of Peace.. . . It seeks to establish ma chinery for preserving peace and or der—by force if necessary." Those who.are--not for the league (even if it costs something by way of compro mise' are enemi(»s of the peace. * The Dumbarvou Oaks proposals ask Zoi- a Woi'lu A^aeiuUiy with a Security Council of eleven members, five from each of the great powers and six elected at large. This council is to be on duty at all times. | As the organization is now plan ned, however, the right of veto is in reality vested in- any one of the five great powers^ The proposed league is far from perfect. But it is our one hope, and we must strive to make it work. To gain at least partial se curity for the future of the peace, we must agree to some compromis es in order to get started. A third part of the plan sets up a World Court for the impartial settle ment of disputes according to Inter national law. Part four will be a Secretariat, a group of experts perm anently on duty the world over to carry out the orders of the league. There will also be a Committee of Eighteen to deal with social and eco nomic problems. The Bretton Woods Conference has proposed an International Bank, and i an International Currency to be used in rebuilding the ruins of war and re organizing national and international economies. The first objective is to avoid a postwar depression, to main tain full employment. This may well be the most important brick in the house of peace. Finally, and of great importance, there are also plans under way for an international program of education for peace and wise co-operative living. Dr. Pfaff made a plea for lettejs to our senators and congressmen insist- ing on action for assuring our par ticipation in the league. Horner To Edit 1945-46 Publication Maj.

The effect of this announcement upon Elon stu dents was much the same as upon people the nation over. With tlie death of this man, we lose not only a great person, but also a true leader to the American people and to all the Allied Nations of the world. Worn- out by the strain and worry of World War II, President Roosevelt has given his life for his country. Just as a man who falls on the field of battle and is proclaimed a hero, so will the late ■ Franklin Delano Roosevelt be remem- ' bered. In memory of this man, students, faculty, and townspeople of Elon Col lege gathered for a service of prayer and song Friday morning. The simple and beautiful words of comfort from the Twenty-third Psalm were read to the congregation by Rev. Millard Stephens, pastor of the First Congre gational Christian church, Burlington. | Special music, including Kipling’s j “Reecssional,” was sung by the college j choir and by Miss Margaret Whtting- ton, director and soloist. The speaker for the service was Dr. Thoma> And erson, pastor of the Congregational Christian church, Atlanta, Georgia. Rev. Anderson made comparison of our present-day sadness with the BibliCal account of the Children of Israel for their great leader Moses. At Moses’ deati^ in the wilderness, God sent another leader to take His peo ple into the Promised Land. We college students are saddened by the President’s sudden death. We understand the effect it might have upon the world of tomorrow: but with our faith in God and with strong will and determination, ^e offer to Harry | S. Truman, now president of the i biiited Slate.s, our complete support. | College Players To Present ‘“The Rock” May 3 Mary P.
