Streit Predicts American Fall If Hitler Wins
"I do not believe that we can maintain our federal union if the other democracies fail," Clarence K. Streit, Missouri-born analyst of world affairs, predicted to his first Kansas audience in Fraser theater yesterday.
Explaining how the United States might be saved, Streit outlined a world union of fifteen well-established democracies with a government similar to that of this country. Further explaining, he said that citizens of these nations would be citizens of the union as well as of their own states.
Author of "Union Now"
This gargantuan system, the au-
of "Union Now" pointed out would involve the setting up of a gigantic government with an executive board, a house of representatives, a senate, and a judiciary body. Like our federal government, it would frame policies in regard to the relations between the fifteen states, leaving internal affairs strictly to the states. Systems of communication and currency would be standardized and tariffs abolished.
Enumerating the advantages of a union, Streit claimed that it would rule all the oceans, absorb one-half the earth's population, and through ownership of most of the world's resources, open vistas of economic success.
Of the future for the scheme, Streit visioned the uniting of other later qualifying states until the globe should become one solid un-
Needs Political Inventions
Because the United States has eliminated distances with more mechanical inventions than any other country, the foreign correspondent maintained that her duty is to parallel those lines with political inventions. "I can see people set the clock ahead and set it back but not both at the same time without smashing the clock," he said.
One of two courses stands open for the United States, Streit concluded. Should the allies win the war, the United States must be ready with a pre-organized plan for union to halt another aftermath of a second Versailles treaty. On the other hand, if Hitler succeeds, Streit boded fatality for American democracy.

...but not ruffian
Rough Tweeds with refinements of color and tailoring are the first requirements for a wellrounded spring wardrobe. And while the new tweeds may give a rustic, rough-textured appearance they are really surprisingly pleasant to handle and feel more comfortable to wear than any suit you ever owned.
Everything from brightly nubbed tweeds to softer smart Scotch-type mixtures . . .
