Dumond Speaks
At Conference
Says Resource Misuse
Is Cause For Conflicts
"If you desire peace in this trou-
bled world, find some way to prevent
the unscrupulous use of the avail-
able resources of technology for pur-
poses of destruction and exploita-
tion."
This was the advice of Prof.
Dwight L. Dumond as he spoke on
"The Conflict of Tradition and Ideals
in American Life" before a meeting
of the Postwar Conference last night.
Follow Leaders
That the masses will blaidly fol-
low leaders and will trade ' ty for
fancied security has been' , by
the events in Europe dun,
generation, Prof. Dumond sa
"Today, too many peope seem ,o
have lost completely the capaci, to
respond to the system of liberal deals
through which a generous a id hu-
mane society has been built and
maintained.
Machines Terrible
"I think it has something to do
with the machine. Machines like
airplanes, rocket-bombs and tanks
are terrible instruments for the de-
struction of human life. Machines in
our factories are terrible instruments
for the exploitation of human life.
Machines like radios, automobiles,
and refrigerators are terrible instru-
ments for perverting everybody from
generous humane treatment of their
fellow men to ruthless vicious gain
that they may enjoy more and more
of the comforts and conveniences of
life."
Referring to Wilsonian Idealism
as American Idealism, he termed it
"the finest ideal ever conceived in
the brain of man and endorsed by
a great, people. Oppressed humanity
almost had within its grasp relief
from centuries of oppression and in-
justice."
We Have Different Institutions
Americans must realize, Prof. Du-
mond stipulated, that other nations
do not have the same basic institu-
tions as we have; that it is one thing
to express hope for a better world,
and another to believe that a new
world can be created by the peace
settlement," and that the security
of our way of life depends more up-
on a re-examination of the basic
principles of Democracy than upon
a crsade of Americanization of the
UnionVote
Held Today
Same Candidates
Running in Election
Men must present a summer Union
membership card in order to vote at
today's election.
Three Union vice-presidents and a
sophomore representative to the En-
gineering Council will be chosen to-
day at the re-running of last Fri-
day's election.
Polling places will be open from 9
a. mn. to 2:15 p. in. EWT (8 a. m. to
1:15 p. m. CWT) at the diagonal, the
engineering arch and between the
Romance Language Building and
Tappan Hall.
It was decided to hold the re-run-
ning after the Men's Judiciary Coun-
cil had declared the election void be-
cause of "irregularities" in handling
ballots. Candidates remain the same.
Running for Union vice-president
from the engineering school are
Thomas Donnelly, Henry Fonde, and
Robert Royce. Candidates from L.
S. & A. will be Tom Heaton and

Henry Kaminski will oppose Eugene
Sikorovsky for the position of soph-
omore representative to the Engi-

Election Will Be
Held Fall Term
Student Committee
Advises Postponement
Following a recommendation by
the Committee on Student Affairs
that the selection of a foreign uni-
versity be postponed until the fall
term, the Executive Council of SOIC
voted unanimously to comply with
the Committee' wishes.
A special meeting to consider the
question was held by the Committee
yesterday.
Decision was reached after the
Council had taken into consideration
the fact that a majority of the reg-
ular students are not here during the
summer term, and that it is upon
them that the project of sending as-
sistance rests. Therefore,' it was
agreed that the choice of a univer-
sity should be waived until the reg-
ular student body could voice its
opinion.
More than 300 persons had pre-
viously petitioned the Qouncil to
wait until the fall.
Stevens Will
Talk O OOPS
At Owen House
"The cooperative movement is an
arrangement whereby people ex-
change goods and services without
profit to either party and thus avoid
the economic ill of great surpluses
of goods and money which in turn
lead tointernal, distress and war,"
Albert K. Stevens of the University
Extension Service explained in an
interview.
"There is year by year a kind of
geometry progression in the cooper-
ative movement," Stevens stated.
Stevens will talk on the "Cooperat-
ive Movement in America and
Abroad" at 7:15 p. m. EWT (6:15

AlliedRaid
Is Reported
Sweep Over Honshu
Hit 116 Jap Ships
By The Associated Press
GUAM, Friday, Aug. 3-U. S. and
British carrier pilots sank or dam-
aged 116 Japanese ships and de-
stroyed orddamaged 278 aircraft in
their Monday sweeps over Honshu
Adm. Nimitz said today in his "final
report" for that day.
Twenty-four of the ships, includ-
ing two destroyers and two midget
submarines, were sunk. Of the 92
damaged, 93 were warships. These
included an escort carrier, a light
cruiser, six destroyers, nine destroyer
escorts, a submarine, and seven mid-
get submarines, a submarine tender,
a gunboat, five identified simply as
combatant ships, and a naval auxil-
iary.
The raids, initially directed at the
Tokyo areo but widened to include
Nagoya and the Maizuru naval base
on Western Honshu because of bad
weather, also damaged the great Na-
goya naval arsenal, naval docks and
buildings at Maizuru, four main
buildings of the Kanto Special Steel
Co., and the Japanese International
Aircraft Company, both at Kiratsu-
ka, near Tokyo.

Dropping R's'
Is Discussed.
Are Americans who "drop their r's"
following a custom first introduced in
this country by socialclimbers of the
eighteenth century who imitated the
speech of British governors sent to
rule the colonies?
Without committing himself to the
statement that this is the reason, Dr.
Hans Kurath, director of he Linguis-
ic Atlas of the United States and
Canada, speaking before the Linguis-
tic Institute last night, suggested it
as a possibility, calling attention to
the fact that Philadelphia, the only
one of the great centers of trade
with England in colonial days which
did not have a royal governor, was
also one not to drop the r.
Dr. Kurath, whose subject was
"Spotting and Delimiting Speech
Areas," presented slides showing the
boundaries of some of the speech
areas of the United States, as worked
out from materials gathered by the
Atlas workers.
Potsdam Silent
On Russian Role
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 - The Big Three announced creation of
a super-council to write a big power peace for shattered Europe today in
a report on their Potsdam Conference which remained silent on the great
enigma - Russia's role in the Pacific.
In a 6,000-word communique, the heads of state of the United States,
Great Britain and Russia also outlined plans to collect reparations from
guilty Germany, and took a slap at the Franco government of Spain.
There was only one reference -- and that indirect - to the war
against Japan.
And the only reference to military matters came in these two closing
lines, just before the signatures "J. V. Stalin, Harry S. Truman, C. R.
Atlee."
"During the conference there were meetings between the chiefs of
staffs of the three governments on military matters of common interest."
The outstanding military matter in the world today, for those fight-
ing and for those not fighting, is the Japanese war. Hence the terse ref-
erence to "military maters" immed- v
In Pacific
iately spurred the wildest conjecture
in Washington.
Truman on Way Home
Today's formal statement was is-
sued as President Truman started
homeward aboard the cruiser Augus-
ta.
It indicated, observers here were
prompt to conclude, that a high de-
gree ofbunderstanding had been
reached by the chiefs of the three
greatest powers occupying Germany
- Russia, Britain and the U. S. A.
The Big Three agreed that in po-
litical matters "so far as is practic-
able there shall be uniformity of
treatment of the German popula-
tion throughout Germany."
In economic questions, they said,
"Germany shall be treated as a sin-
Laval To Take
S ta- in-Trial-
A uamst Petain
By The Associated Press
PARIS, Aug. 2-Pierre Laval, chief
of the Vichy Government, will be
brought from a prison cell tomorrow
to testify in the treason trial of Mar-
'shal Petain.
Rejecting a defense protest, the
court announced after heated debate
among the jurors that it would sum-
mon the former French premier who
had been called the aged marshal's
"evil genius."
Trial Prolonged
The decision regarding Laval, him-
self facing treason charges, was an-
nounced after the afternoon recess.
Attorneys pointed out that sum-
moning Laval as a witness "undoubt-
edly would mean" the trial would be
prolonged by days.
Judge Paul Mongibeaux said it
"would aid greatly in placing re-
sponsibility correctly" to bring Laval
and Petain together in court.
Petain Like Putty
"I would like to be brought face
to face," he added, "the Marshal who
was only a piece of bricabrac in his
leader's hands and his 'evil genius,'
Pierre Laval."
Laval will appear as the court's
own witness and probably will be re-
moved in the dead of night from his
cell in Fresnes prison to Paris.
Pacific Islands
Are Greatest
Problem- mDavis
"The islands in the southwest Paci-
fic, poor in resources and small in
population, constitute our most im-
portant problem in the Pacific area,"
Prof. Charles M. Davis of the geog-
raphy department said yesterday in
a Postwar Conference lecture.
Prof. Davis declared that the Unit-
ed States desires three conditions in
the Pacific area; security for the
American homeland; freedom and
safety for American shipping, and
governments in the Pacific islands to
ensure these conditions.
Conditions Will Prevail
These conditions will prevail,- ac-
cording to Prof. Davis, if our military
strength is powerful and well based.
No one will attack our ships or threat-
en our coast he asserted. The other
I 'Darifir aier4n hall hy i+ainJ -rnnia
gle economic unit" in all maters of
industry, farming, trade, money,
transport and communications, and
reparations
German administrative machinery
is to be used to the fullest extent in
carrying out these objectives, the
communique declared, so that "it
should be brought home to the Ger-
man people that the responsibility
for the administration of such con-
trols and any breakdown in these
controls will rest with themselves.".
Remove Cartels
Further, the Big Three determined
that German economy shall be rid
of cartels, trusts "and other monop-
olistic arrangements." All these
things are to be done under the four
power control council, which includes
France.
The five power council of foreign
manisters included.thlose 0 ofal df
Britain, Russia, China, France and
the United States. Their first meet-
ing is to be held in London by Sep-
tember 1. London will be the per-
manent headquarters of the council.
These five are the permanent
members of the council of the pro-
posed United Nations organization
-the 11-member body designed to
keep the peace.
Peace Treaties
"As its immediate important task,"
the communique said, "the council
shall be authorized to draw up, with
a view of their submission to the
United Nations, treaties of peace with
Italy, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary,
and Finland, and the proposed set-
tlement of territorial questions out-
standing on the termination of the
war in Europe.
"The council shall be utilized for
the preparation of a peace settlement
for Germany to be accepted by a
government of Germany when a gov-
ernment adequate for the purpose
is established."
In setting up the controls for Ger-
many on the general objective of de-
stroying German militarism and the
Nazis, the Allies declared that the
German people must be given the
opportunity to prepare for rebuild-
ing their life peacefully and demo-
cratic ally.
Collecting Reparations
This produced the only statement
on possible duration of occupation of
the Reich
"If their own efforts are steadily
directed to this end, it will be pos-
sible for them in due course to take
their place among the free and
peaceful peoples of the world."
