"The U. S. is not in any sense independent; to establish complete isolation you'd have to abolish the moral code of Christianity," said Loewenstein.

Dr. Haake, former chair man of the Rutgers university de partment of economics was dis cussing "Has Our American Eco nomic System Failed?" Chancellor C. S.
