Americans are well off in comparison with the other peoples of the world, but waste so many resources that they cannot fill the needs of a peace-time economy.
Americans Are Wasteful In Resources And Cannot Fill Peacetime US Needs
That is the belief of Dr. Walter Kollmorgen, professor of geography as told to a University Daily Kansan reporter recently. Dr. Kollmorgen expects a general lowering of the American standard of living in the near future.
He will also speak at a community meeting at 8 p.m. Thursday at the First Christian church, 10th and Kentucky streets.
Dr. Page will be at the Student "Seeds for Europe" convention in Hutchinson Saturday. He is author of 25 volumes on economic, social, and religious questions.
Dr. Page has been editor of the Christian Century and the World Tomorrow. He is a minister of the Disciples of the Christian church in La Habre, Calif. He is touring the country under the auspices of the American Friends Service committee in Wichita.
"Another war would be an unmitigated disaster in terms of world resources," he said. "Even the United States has reached a critical state of supply in special resources."
The United States has an adequate coal supply for the foreseeable future, he said, but not enough petroleum, lead, zinc and iron. The nation is running out of high content iron ore. It will be necessary to use either expensive low grade ore or import the iron, Dr. Kollmorgen believes. In the latter case, the nation's industrial centers must be moved from the Great Lakes area to the Eastern seaboard.
Professor Kollmorgen observed that "when we fight a war, we leave all the material, sometimes our finest, abroad to rot." He added that many business men are making profits by buying up surplus goods left on Pacific islands and reselling in the U.S.
Dr. Kirby Page, author and lecturer, will speak to the Y.M.C.A. coffee hour at 4 p. m. Thursday in the Pine room of the Union.
"Americans have always thought of themselves as being rich, but have never had enough of all the essentials for a good living," he said.

Judge Goldsborough Monday found Mr. Lewis and the union guilty of both criminal and civil contempt. The convictions resulted 3 court order directing them to end from their failure to obey an April "forthwith" the coal strike that began March 15.
"Criminal contempt is defined as contempt of court, and may be punished by both fine and imprisonment. Civil contempt in this case would be considered contempt against the American people and may be punished only by fine."
Mr. Lewis and the union immediately gave notice that they would appeal the fines.
The government recommended that Mr. Lewis be finned $20,000 and the U.M.W. $1,400,00-double the penalty imposed in 1946 for conviction on a similar offense.

Nowhere in his recommendation did Mr. Morison refer to the possibility of a jail sentence for Mr. Lewis, although Judge Goldsborough had hinted Monday that he was considering imposing such a penalty on the miners' chief.
Louis Cunningham, tenor, will present his senior voice recital at 8 p.m. tomorrow in Frank Strong auditorium. He is a student of Miss Marie Wilkins and will be joined by her in a duet as his closing recital number.
Judge Goldsborough said that if he used his own judgment he "would impose a prison sentence," on Mr. Lewis. But, he said he felt it necessary to go along with the government's recommendation.
