Larson says force is no cure-all
Dr. Arthur Larson described the belief that international disputes can be settled by force or threat of force alone as a myth last night in the Kansas Union.
Larson, consultant to President Johnson in international affairs and consultant to the State Department of United Nations affairs, told nearly 400 people that "hundreds of international displaces are settled by arbitration or the world court."
HE MADE A PLEA to use the scientific method to formulate international policy. The scientific approach must be followed so men can control events instead of being controlled by them.
International policy today, according to Larson, tends to be
based on facts that are from 18 to 300 years old.
"We can not flout real facts if we want to get good results," said Larson. "How good would a landing on the moon be if we assumed it to be made of green cheese?"
Another fallacy he attacked was the belief that the only power that ultimately counts is military power. Destructive power is of no use except as a deterrent, he said.
LARSON PREDICTED that the battleground between major powers of the world will not be military, but rather political, economic and scientific.
RENEWS DEMAND
De Gaulle wants U.S. out
PARIS — (UPI) — President Charles de Gaulle said today he will not wait "forever" for the United States to decide when it will pull its troops and bases out of France.
De Gaulle's statement was reported by Information Secretary Yvon Bourges after a cabinet session called to discuss the NATO crisis. He quoted De Gaulle as saying "I see no sense in letting indecision over the timetable drag on forever."
Larson, also director of the Rule of Laws Research Center at Duke University, accepted Deane W. Malott's challenge that Centennial speakers look into the role of the university today. The university is an intellectual center and the teacher of new leaders.
as too short. The note said such haste "could jeopardize the security interests of all members" of NATO.
DE GAULLE MADE the comment after Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville told the cabinet the United States in a note Tuesday rejected De Gaulle's one-year deadline for withdrawal of troops and bases from France
THE AMERICAN note warned that financial problems involved in the pullout will have to be discussed and reminded France that French forces in Germany will lose their U.S. nuclear weapons when they are removed from NATO command July 1.
In the discussion of the critic-commentators after the speech, problems of war were said to be less rational than the problems of defense. It would be easier to apply the scientific method advocated by Larson in planning war finances than in combating the rationale of a Viet Cong jungle fighter.
