Lydgate, Who Speaks at Center, Sunday, March 26, Planned in Tribute to Lead-
Sees Another War If American Public Opinion on
er's 70th Birthday; Rabbi
Russia Changes; Assails Prejudices
Fram Heads Committee
Of all the issues before the American public•today, the
question of United States participation in an organization
to keep the peace is the one which John Q. Public is most
decided, says William A. Lydgate, editor of the Gallup Poll
of the American Institute of Public Opinion, who will be
the guest speaker at the annual meeting of the Jewish
Welfare Federation on Sunday,
March 26, at 8:30 p. m., at the
Jewish Community Center, 8904
Woodward Ave.
"The American Public today
stands 3 to 1 for joining a new
League of Nations and 7 to 3 for
an international police force,"
Mr. Lydgate discloses. "And," he
adds, "the people were 8 to 2
for the Fulbright Resolution two
months before its passage."
Caned Healthy Sign
Mr. Lydgate thinks this is an
immensely healthy sign, although
he points out that public senti-
ment might conveivably change.
"Many things affect public
opinion—and it's just , possible
that if Russia continues coy and
uncooperative, t h e American
public might have a change of
heart . . . might say in disgust,
'Oh, what's the use!' and 'return
to ' the stay-at-home-and-mind-
our - own
busines school of
thought."
Mr. Lydgate hopes this won't
happen. He thinks it would mean
another war.
'Old Prejudices Silly'
"I am a firm believer in re-
education of the American peo-
ple to a new understanding of
Russia," he continues. "The old
name-calling, the old prejudices
are silly, superficial and un-
worthy of us. Unless we approach
this problem rationally, irrational
events do our educating for
us . . and that would be un-
fortunate • and unpleasant."
In conjunction with the annual
meeting of the Jewish Welfare
Federation, the Fresh Air Society,
Jewish Children's Bureau, Jew-
ish Social Service Bureau, Jew-
ish Vocational Service and North
End Clinic also will hold their
annual meetings.
