Fischer Outlines World Views
In Afternoon Forum Tuesday

BY FRANK JACOBS.
World-minded students who
have talked with the readers of
books on Russian-American rela
tions at last had the opportunity,
Tuesday afternoon, to talk with
one of the foremost writers of the
foreign scene.
Louis Fischer, at a forum in
the Union Lounge, was a literal
answer man as he impressed the
oxer-flowing audience with
great knowledge of foreign
fails.
One of the first questions
forth to him xvas "Should
Communist Party in the United
States be outlawed?" Fischer an
swered, "No, for our oxvn sake.
If I thought the Communist party
was of a great danger to United
States security, I might consider
it, but I don't think it is. It xvould
be more dangerous to the Ameri
can future, to outlaw it than to
let it live"
Then, in one of his strongest
statements, he added, "What wor
ries me is not Russia, but Amer
ica! The suppression of freedom
is a dangerous toboggan. If you
cie: roy those xvho w.mt to destroy
us then vou are destroying us.-'
i son for fearing this aggression.
The American Government has
i informed Soviet Russia that if
Russia should invade Turkey, war
would result. We have learned
that aggression breeds more ag
gression." Perhaps Fischer's most inter
esting observation was made
when he was asked if the North
Atlanlic Pact xvas a threat to the
Ui.ited Nations. Directly and
pimply, he reasoned that the U. N.
was worthless as it "has no ef
fectiveness" in preventing war.
"Therefore," he concluded, "coun
tries must go outside the U.N.
thus, the North Atlantic Pact."
The forum lasted close to two
hours, Fischer's stimulating re
marks making the minutes pass
much quicker than usual. Each
question was ansxvered concisely
and completely, there being
scarcely a minute of real cross-questioning.

THE NOTED lecturer then pro
posed his answer to another of .
today's vital questions, "Can a j
state such as Russia be oxer
thrown'.''' He surmised that it j
would be 'Very difficult" to oxer- .
throw a dictatorship from the in- !
dous power. People lie about
ideals to preserve their lixes. They
are held by fear."
Fischer surmised that the only
wav to nroxT,l:i such an ox-er-
throxv would be to break up the ; tives meeting at
countries of the Soviet Empire. JiJ -"""
