Wednesday, March' 6, 1940 THE DAILY NEBRASKA!! 3 Fcllman warns we must insulate our emotions from war "We must guard our emotions, traditional feelings and prejudices, we must resist the blandishments of propaganda,, we must insulate ourselves against the excitement of war." In these words David Fellman, instructor in political sci ence addressed Junior Chamber of Commerce members at a luncheon Thursday. Fellman pointed out that the foreign policy of the United States should not favor any side in any foreign war In which our interests are not directly involved. The neu trality law of 1939, he continued, was designed to keep us out of war by avoiding the causes which al legedly led us into the World war. New law Is good. This new law, as far as it goes, is good, but "its fatal weaknes is that it might give rise to the im pression that it covers all the fun damental factors which led us into the last war. It does not and can not possibly do so." That we must watch the activi ties of the president was a further view expiessed by Fellman. He said, "It is in his (the president's) power to create a war situation. A war situation is a product of a se ries of executive devisions, taken from time to time and having a cumulative effect."
