After a short business session

Ramsey, vice-chairman of the
State Board of Education.
Then the delegates adjoined to
attend three discussions groups.
The topics of these discussions

moting Better Relations Between
Students and Administration, (2)
Student Councils Dealing with
Student Problems, (3) Student
Council as a Means of Promoting
Citizenship.
That evening the group was en
tertained at the Youth Recrea
tion Center with a picnic and
square dance.
Tuesday the delegates assem
bled for further discussion in their
respective groups.
(Continued on page seven.)
“Last week we found your
kind letter in packet of clothes
we got from the Netherlands
Red Cross and we are very glad
with this gift and we accept it
in the spirit of love in which it
is given,” is a portion of a letter
received from J. E. Tera, Wog-
num. New Netherlands, by Mrs.
Fry thanking her for clothes
which she sent in the school
drive last spring.
Mr Tena, who wrote the let
ter October 6, explained that he
is the head master of the Ro
man Catholic Boys’ sch^l ,at
Wognum, a village of 3500 in
habitants, lying 40 kilometers
north of Amsterdam.
“We really had fiara uniea»
during the past war tirne. es
pecially the last year 1945. For
tunately we did not experience
the direct violence of the war,
as our village was not
the frontier. Wognum had its
dropping field for the under
ground forces, where the Amer
ican pilots and the planes of
the Royal Air Force dropped
the weapons. Some airplanes
of the Allied Forces crashed
down and the crew lost their
lives. On this spot a monument
will be erected to honor our
liberators,”continued the writer.
Three inhabitants of Wog
num were shot by the Germans,
were often searched. “Many
times we had to hide ourselves
for manhunting.”
Mr. Tena, who writes Eng
lish very well, says, “It is a
long time since I learned Eng
lish so I hope that you will bo
able to understand my letter. I
am married and have eight chil
dren, varying from one to 14
years old.”
He concludes, "But now all is
over. We are no longer hungry,
and thanks to your help we
have clothes for our wives and
children. We thank you for all
you have done for us.”
“Excepting the life of Christ,
the most important five years in
history will be 1945-50,” was the
statement made by Ely Culbert
son Thursday night at the first
of a series of lectures to members
of the TALK OF THE MONTH
CLUB.
“In dealing with Russia, only
three courses are open to Amer
ica,” Mr. Culbertson said, “two of
which the American people would
never accept: appeasement of
Russia or a preventive war
against Russia. The alternative
is reformation of U. N.”
Mr. Culbertson, an advocate of
the latter plan, gave as a basis
on which to reform U. N., the
Quota-Force plan.
This Quota-Force plan consists
of three parts. First, it provides
for changes in the structure of
the Security council, restricting
veto power to matters of aggres
sion and to world-wide limitation
of scientific weapons.
The second part of the Quota-
Force plan allows the Security
Council to establish the maximum
amount of war equipment to be
produced. Britain, U. S., and
Russia would each l>e allowed to
manufacture 20% of the weapons
permitted, France and China 10%
each and the other 20% would be
manufactured by U. N. for the
smaller nations. '
An international police force
and a World court make up the
third part of the plan. The po
lice force should be composed of
one international contingent made
up of professional soldiers from
smaller nations and five national
contingents. These national con
tingents would serve as reserves.
The international force would be
stationed in Germany and even
tually in Japan.
The World Court should con
sist of ten members. Six of these
should be permanent members
and four members would come
from the smaller nations.
Since the American people will
not accept either appeasement of
Russia or a war, preventive or ag
gressive, Mr. Culbertson believes
that this is the best plan for
maintaining world peace.
