'Forced Conformity' Worst Threat From Russia, Says Forum Speaker

"The greatest Russian threat is not military might, but that fear of Russia will compel Americans to enforce uniformity and conformity on their fellow Americans," stated Quincy Howe '21, Chicago news commentator and analyst, at last night's Law School Forum.

Howe, William Chamberlin, former editor of the Christian Science Monitor, O. John Rogge, former special assistant to the Attorney General of the U.S., and Owen Brewster, former senator from Maine, debated the "Ressian Threat?"

Howe and Rogge blasted attempts to create an "aggressive" foreign policy in Asia and Europe, and efforts to route Communists out of politics and schools.

Chamberlin countered that "Communism is the most deadly immediate threat to our society." He and Brewster agreed that it must be met with constant vigilance and military power.

Rogge stated that it is preferable to stay on the 38th parallel in Korea for 50 years rather than to precipitate war.
