At Forum
Peace, Atlantic Union
To Be Discussed
By Neal O^Brien
The Forum jumps from inter-collegiate war to international
peace in its second meeting of the year which will be held at
8 p.m. Wednesday, October 17, in the Lecture Lounge.
The subject for discussion is the possibility of an Atlantic
Union for the prevention of any action or aggression which
would tend to culminate in a
third world war. The Atlantic
Union Resolution, which has
been introduced into both Houses of
Congress, resolves that the president
of the US will invite representatives
' from all of the democratic countries
sponsored in the North Atlantic
Treaty in meet with delegates of the
US to explore the possibilities of
applying to the framework qf the
UN, the principals of a federal union
modeled on the scale of that of the
US. The discussions will show the
weans to prevent war, to improve
economic conditions, to sever com-
munist advancement (or degres-
sion), and to secure the world for
democracy.
