Leland Stowe Will Speak Tonight In Hoch To Discuss World Situation
Leland Stowe, well known foreign correspondent for the Chicago Daily News, will present his view of the war picture at 8:20 tonight in Hoch auditorium.
Stowe is expected to give a brighter picture of the world situation than was given last week by Julien Bryan who seemed to feel that Hitler had the upper hand. Bryan then predicted that Stowe would have a much different outlook. "He doesn't think the situation is as dangerous or bad as I do." Bryan said.
Prediction Seems True
This prediction seems true. In a recent article printed in the Kansas City Star on Feb. 28, Stowe made these statements:
"In this colossal and fateful gamble, the British Isles represent
LELAND STOWE
the jackpot and Hitler stands to lose everything he has conquered if he fails to take them. He failed for the first time in September.
"There can be no doubt that he must deal Britain a mortal blow within a few months or Nazi-ism will be fighting a defensive battle all over Europe. If Hitler fails against Britain or sidesteps Britain between now and August he will know all too well that he has lost the war.
. . . a brighter picture?
"He has piled up amazing victories because he has always been able to choose when and where to strike next. Now he is becoming straight-jacketed by circumstance and geography. You may logically question whether this fact may not emerge before many months as the
'Amazing Victories'
turning point of the second World War."
Whether Stowe has changed his opinion in view of recent developments in Europe will be seen in his lecture tonight when he speaks on "Hitler Over Europe."
Students will be admitted on the presentation of activity books.
At Sigma Delta Chi
Stowe is also scheduled for another address when he speaks to members of Sigma Delta Chi, men's honorary journalism fraternity at a special dinner meeting tonight at 6:30 in the Old English room of the Memorial Union building.
Stowe will arrive in Lawrence at 6 o'clock tonight and will leave at 10 o'clock to continue his lecture tour.
