United States Stands Alone Dr. Muste Says
The United States stands alone in the world today. Dr. A. J. Muste told V. M. C. a members Tuesday.
"Three reasons can be given for the present status of the United States," the executive secretary of the Fellowship of Reconciliation said. "First, we are the only rich nation in the world. Second, we are the only major nation which has not suffered humiliation and economic disaster. Third, we are the only nation who has the atomic bomb."
Dr. Muste, who is touring Kansas under the American Friends Service committee, stated that Europe as a whole was through with the American type of capitalism. He said the working class of European people are socialists.
securities.
"Western Europe is fatalistic about the Marshall plan. Should the involved countries accept the plan, the barrier between them and Russia will become higher and pressure between the United States and Russia will increase. In two to five years, Western Europe will be blasted with atomic bombs because neither of the two powers will allow the other to use Western Europe," he declared.
If the Marshall plan is rejected, a Communist revolution will follow in all of Europe. Dr. Muste said. The thinkers in Western Europe believe it is a question of either atomic war or a Communist revolution.
"United States citizens will have to be taught that the Russians are not going to abandon their stand until they feel they are on the same level with us. By the same level, I mean when they get the atomic bomb."
Dr. Muste named three key-groups which he believes will have to take the first step toward permanent peace. "Churches, atomic scientists, and social scientists must teach the people that the present foreign policy is a paradox of practiced militarism and professed non-agression.

Solid Stand For Peace'
Caspar H. Brochmann from Oslo, Norway, and Karl L. Edstrand from Stockholm, Sweden, told Scandinavian club members Tuesday where Scandinavia stands in the world today and why. Both speakers are graduate students.
Edstrand explained that Sweden, Norway, and Denmark stand today for democracy, peace, and absolute freedom of the seas.
"Their early histories were dominated by wars, but now they are dominated by trade," he said. "It is natural that Norway, Denmark, and Sweden with their great merchant fleets should favor conditions under which trade can go on with few barriers."
"We are a people looking westward," he said. Governments in the three countries are 100 percent labor and all three favor the Marshall plan he added.
Brochmann talked on post-war conditions in the three countries. He discussed the Scandinavian air-ways system, and the saving by concentration of upkeep and service on a common basis by Sweden, Denmark, and Norway.
