In Her Job She Urges World Union
Paramount partnership is by the consent of self-governing people under law and God, Mrs. Chase Osborn, a member of the national board of Atlantic Union, told members of the International Relations club Tuesday.
"This is the same spirit, strength and moral force that brought this country into existence—not a dead thing, but something the world wants and needs," she said.
The hope of self-government lies in the fact that sovereignty lies in the individual, Mrs. Osborn said. She added that in 1787, 13 states pooled a little of their sovereignty in making the Constitution a declaration of interdependence.
"We are starting for the world in 1952, that which was started for the United States in 1787," Mrs. Osborne explained that the Atlantic Union is the framework through which we can secure our freedom.
"The Atlantic Pact was developed in 1949 as a core within the United Nations under a provision that permitted regional agreements," she said.
"The idea of union is strength not only for defense but for an approximation of peace, because we cannot have perfect peace."
If the country is so busy looking after its own problems that it lets international affairs go, the world will be run by crooks, Mrs. Osborne said.
"We must put as much energy in the instrument for law and order, as in the instrument of war. The neutral powers will go toward the strong, and if we cooperate we will strengthen each other."
The citation as Atlantic Union committee councilwoman of 1951 was given Mrs. Osborn for outstanding devotion to the cause of Union and for a long period of achievement in behalf of this case."
Mrs. Osborn was chosen Atlantic Union up-un girl of 1951.
Before becoming actively engaged in Atlantic Union work, Mrs. Osborn's main interest was in writing.
Mrs. Osborn's sincerity and interest in international life was evident as she commented on the names and nationality background of each student she met. Mrs. Osborn was graduated from the University of Michigan 30 years ago.
"When I was young, I was jealous of Shakespeare and wanted to be like him, if not better. But now that I am working for Atlantic Union, I would rather do that than be Shakespeare."
She is now devoting her time to the educational campaign for Atlantic Union, an organization which supplement the work of the UN and the Atlantic pact. Currently she is on a speaking tour of Kansas, sponsored by the state.
"I'd rather be myself than Joan of Arc, who only had to worry about the uniting of England and France under one king, not the world," Mrs. Osborn said. "I was very ambitious when young. I wanted something that I could run a 100 miles for, and I found it in the Atlantic Union."
Warmer Weather Forecast As KU Digs Out Of Storm
With a white blanket of snow still covering the campus this morning and temperature down to eight degrees above zero, streets are slippery and dangerous but improved since Tuesday.
Around the campus students find the snow perfect for inscribing "Beat K-State!" and a few snowmen have been built at homes near the campus.
Police department officials said it is difficult to drive on the streets without skidchains. All city busses are running on schedule.
After a low of zero, the mercury was expected to rise to the 30's in most sections of the storm area this afternoon. Some of the thick covering of ice and snow was reduced by clear skies Tuesday.
United Press reported the warmup was expected to be gradual throughout the Midwest. Eight to 12 inches of snow, with drifts three feet deep in some places, covered most of Kansas and Missouri.
Highway departments in Kansas and Missouri reported further progress in opening snow-clogged highways. Many highways were impassable after a short thaw melted the snow and a new cold wave froze it over.
Twelve Kansas highways were still blocked by drifted snow late Tuesday, the Kansas Highway department in Topeka reported.
In some localities, the Weather Bureau said, the precipitation had been three times what it normally is during a winter.
