Wescoe's Introduction
This convocation which inaugurates a day on this campus devoted to the serious consideration of many aspects of current world problems results from the enthusiasm and interest of our students and faculty. For this enthusiasm and interest they are to be commended; we are not, as many have charged, apathetic.
None of us is naive enough to believe that any problems will be solved here today. But if we achieve an understanding of the basis of some of these problems we will have made a gain. All of us read a great deal; today as well we can hear and see and speak.
THE UNIVERSITY has been criticized for its efforts. May I respond to the criticism by saying this: let no one mistake the posture of the University of Kansas, its students, its faculty and me, its Chancellor. We are dedicated to the American principles of freedom, liberty, individual choice and justice under law; we choose to think that no other system can ever equal ours. Our ideology is not dead; it is a living, vibrant, pulsating thing—it has much to offer others and we intend to continue offering it. Ours is a great country, ours is the most nearly perfect system ever created by man. We are strong, let no one mistake it.
We are deeply, firmly and irrevocably committed to our principles and ideals. Our commitment to them insures our continuing success.
CONVERSELY, we are unalterably and implacably opposed to any system that dares to challenge or blatantly threatens these principles and ideals, or which is inimical to our interests. To be absolutely clear: this includes communism in any of its forms.
But we are not assembled here for the purpose of discussing forms or theories of government. We are rather here to listen to an exposition of two foreign policies, one that of the USSR and the other that of the United States of America.
To present the first exposition, may I present to you, Mr. Alexander Fomin, Counselor of the Soviet Embassy in Washington.
Fomin Interview-
(Continued from page 1)
"Yes, we have them. But they picture things like capitalists. We never ridicule Kennedy. We respect him."
Mr. Fomin said that he hoped the Berlin situation was solved quickly.
"The Russians and the Americans have fought together, shed blood together. The smoldering remnants of World War II must be extinguished. Once again, military forces are rising in Germany. We must keep them within its borders."
On the re-unification of Germany, he commented:
"EVENTS DURING the end of World War II went in such a way that Germany was divided, and has been divided for a long period of time. The Germans in the West have been educated one way, the Germans in the East in another. I don't exclude the possibility of German unification, but let the Germans work it out themselves. They speak the same language and can sit down and talk at the same table. The main thing is to get a treaty between East and West Germany. We must liquidate this hotbed. The Germans will solve it by themselves."

Schlesinger-
Recently Mr. Schlesinger has been working with Adlai Stevenson in the United Nations. When asked whether or not Red China will be admitted during the present session, he said:
"I IMAGINE the delegates will make it an 'important question' thus requiring a two-thirds vote for passage. I think we have the votes to block their admission."
Mr. Schlesinger had planned to remain at KU until 3 p.m. Because of a scheduled briefing with the President in Washington, he flew from Lawrence to Kansas City immediately following the convocation. He was scheduled to fly from Kansas City to Washington at 11:25 this morning.
He also said that he would not be accompanying the President on his upcoming trip to South America. Chester Bowles will be serving as adviser to the President on this trip, he explained.
