A firm policy of coalition with England and France as the only means of averting war was advocated by Gaetano Salvemini, Lauro De Bosis Lecturer on the History of Italian Civilization, speaking at the bi-weekly meeting of the Foreign Policy Association Saturday. He maintained that the dictatorships would soon collapse before such a coalition of the democratic powers since these "gangster" countries could not hope to wage a successful war against a force as strong as this.
Salvemini went on to state that England and France are not real democracies, but, since they constitute the least threat to our national security, we must align ourselves with them for protection against the dictatorships.
Carl J. Friedrich, professor of Government, also speaking at the meeting, held that a policy of isolation means certain war. Our present armament increase shows that we realize the inevitability of our participation in a coming struggle. Friedrich's opinion was that we must play the "balance of power game" in order to ekep war from breaking out abroad.
