WEATHER TODAY Cloudy, Possible Showers Foreign Expert Harvey Hall Calls for i Long Range Policy' Harvey P, Hall, former information expert in the State depart ment's office of Near pastern and African affairs, called for a more idealistic and long-range U. S. foreign policy during his talks here Tuesday to various student seminars. Hall's visit was sponsored by Professor K. C. Frazer of the political science department. "Truman's Greek-Turkey aid pro posal is merely a short-range tactic," explained Hall during a discussion with an International Relations club interviewing committee. "We talk nonsense when we say that our rea son for supporting Greece is because we want to preserve democratic gov ernments. Our immediate problem is the preservation of stability and peace in the Near East." Now Edits Journal Hall is now editor of the Middle East Journal, a newly formed quar terly magazine published in Washing ton. During the war, he worked with the O.S.S. on problems relating to Turkey. "America's support of democratic principles everywhere must be a bea con for the peoples of the world," Hall stated. "Democratic governments are the best insurance against war and the best resistance against aggression." He defined a democratic government as "one haviEg the best interests of all the people at heart, with a large measure of personal freedom and eco nomic justice." V On Palestine On the Palestine question, Hall de clared that any solution will have to be imposed forcefully. He said that the United States may soon have to take over Britain's responsibilities in the Holy Land. In answer to a student's question, Hall admitted that Churchill's plan for an Anglo-American campaign in the Balkans during the war might have been a good idea for political reasons. - , "MACBETH' SCRIPTS Scripts for "Macbeth," which will be produced by the Carolina Playmak ers in the Forest theatre during May, are now on reserve in the library.
