Aiken, Wild Hold Debate on Foundations of World Order

"The foundations for world order today must be based on expediency and compromise," Henry D. Aiken, professor of Philosophy, said last night in a debate on "Moral Foundations for World Order" held in the Lowell House Junior Common Room under the auspices of the College chapter of the United World Federalists. "There are no recognized customs of international conduct which are recognized by the two main systems in today's world."

Aiken shared the platform with Philosophy Professor John D. Wild.

Wild disagreed with Aiken's views, and said "there are certain natural values" such as those contained in the U.N.'s 1945 International Declaration of Human Rights which cannot be sacrificed "for the sake of muddling through," as be termed our present policy.
