FRENCHMEN BACK LEAGUE, SAYS PROF. LEVY-BRUHL

"There is no doubt whatever that the French nation, as a whole, is heartily in favor of the League of Nations." These were the words of Professor Lucien Levy-Bruhl, the exchange professor from the Sorbonne, in an interview given to a CRIMSON renorter yesterday.

"France wants the League," he continued, "but she demands that a machinery for enforcing it be supplied. An international police force, perhaps, similar to the gendarmerie, should be created. Unless such a force is provided, small states will be able to defy the League and the larger nations will be powerless to prevent strife and war. I believe, however, that the League will be of great help in establishing permanent peace."

Need Knowledge of Europe's Problems.

Asked how he thought American university students could best aid reconstruction in Europe, Professor Levy-Bruhl replied: "First of all, you should become better informed on European problems and history. Americans have a fair knowledge of the British Empire, but of France and Germany they know little. France needs economic and financial help very badly. The war was a terrible blow to us; our most productive provinces were pillaged, and the debt we incurred is a heavy burden to carry."

Prefers French to German Teaching.

Professor Levy-Bruhl said that Americans had heard much about the efficiency of German education, because the Germans themselves talked about it, but little about French schools, because they were rarely mentioned in this country. "Judging by results, however," said Dr. Levy-Bruhl, "I prefer the French education."

Engaged in War Work.

Dr. Levy-Bruhl is conducting two courses at present in the University: Philosophy B and Philosophy 16. He is one of the best known of contemporary philosophers, and is the author of a number of authoritative philosophical books. During the war Dr. Levy-Bruhl served under the French Minister of Munitions, and later during the Peace Conference was with the Foreign Office.
