Here they will vote on resolutions passed at the Mid-American congress on American foreign policy. The results of the forum will be forwarded to the United States congress. Come and support the Truman doctrine and protect our nation from being undermined by he "Red" Wallacites. I write this because I hear that the "fellow-travelers" will be cut in full force. Sincerely yours. Bill Reuter. Doar Fellow Students: It has been encouraging to note recently in the Daily Nebraskan a trend toward more articles of public interest on national and world affairs. Perhaps you will let me express my views on one such matter, especially important to us Americans. That is the mat ter of Hawaiian aspirations for entrance into the Union. The subject of Hawaiian application for statehood has not been fully brought before the American public, but it is an important issue now awaiting action by Congress. It is important to Hawaiians because they want statehood so that they can take part in the affairs of national government and be entitled to the sanoe benefits as the other states within the Union. It is important to Americans because Hawaiian statehood would definitely establish the United States in strategic ocean area, on a group of islands tremendously important commercially to the mainland, and it would relieve the federal gov ernment of the burden of maintaining a territorial government in the islands. . . One of the main issues that was raised against the movement before the war was that of the loyalty of the people of the territory, especially the American Japanese. However, the war record of those people, including that of the 442 combat team, will certainly prove to all of us that that is no longer an issue. Our president favors Hawaiian statehood, having urged Congress to "promptly accede to the wishes of the people of Hawaii that the Territory be admitted to Statehood in our Union." More than 60 of the American people are also in favor of the movement. The main questions in the minds of our Congressmen now, in regard to Hawaii, deal with the type of government that the territory will have when it becomes a state. What part will organized labor play in the government? Will the "Big Five" corporations control the administration? Senator Butler of Nebraska has expressed op position to Hawaiian statehood on the grounds that the islands would come under the control of Harry Bridges, chief of the Inter national Longshoremen's Union. Do you think that this is likely? What difference will it make to you? Senator Butler, as chairman of the Senate Public Lands Committee is in a position to influence, one way or the other, the progress of the bills now in Congress for the admission of Hawaii as a state. Do you support Butler in his fear of the CIO? Would you be willing to see Hawaii admitted as a state, believing she can settle local problems efficiently herself? It is necessary that the people of the United States examine the facts, follow the arguments in the TiCwspapers, draw their own logical conclusions, then make their views known to their Congressmen. Sincerely yours, David Innis. Madam Editor: At the YMCA-YWCA sponsored forum this evening the students of the university will have one of their best chances to make their foreign policy views influential. The results of the discussion Wed nesday will be sent to the League of Women Voters who will present it to Congress through their lobby in Washington. Included in the resolutions to be" voted upon are two of utmost importance: "1. We recommend prohibition of conscription and a compulsory military training in all nations. "2. Be it resolved that the for eign policy of the United States be at all times consistent with the basic principles of the Truman Doctrine until such time as the United Nations will be capable of supplanting independent action on the part of the independent na tions." Students on this campus must express their views on these vital issues. Prohibition of compulsory military training is one of the musts for a world that wants peace. We as students should speak out against the sort of double talk which advocates com pulsory military training "in or der to maintain peace in the world." That attitude is certainly one of the steps toward the next war. The only way that good will and an inclination toward peace can be shown in the world today Ag Engineers Display New Farm Machines Ag college engincring depart ment will display some of the latest development in farm ma chinery during Engineers' Night, Thursday, May 1, as part of the university Engineers' Week. According to members of the committee of agricultural en gineer undergraduates in charge of the event, several new and improved types of mowers, ma nure loaders, balers and plows will be on display. Some of the " exhibts for the "open house" at the ag enginer ing building will be models of implement used in irrigation projects, cutaway working mod els of tractors and stationary dis sel engines, and a demonstration ol the forces which work upon tractor-mounted plow. Featured in the pre-view of new equipment will be a tractor mounted power mower with hy draulic control, manure loaders involving new principles of con trol, and new types of pick-up balers.

In regard to the "basic prin ciples of the Truman Doctine," it is hard to see how we students advocating and working for world peace can support a doctrine which has as its most important tions which will support us in keeping Russia under control. If purpose the arming of certain na the world is gointf to divide into two armed camps as it will if we arm these nations against Russia, there is no hope for future peace.
