"American war aims can he defined loosely in the single
words of the achievement of a decent world civilization," de
clared James K. Lawrence, editor of the Lincoln Star and pro
fessor of journalism, at the Union, in his lecture Monday after
noon in the university's war series.
Six more specific war aims
1. A peaceful world which
the type of government desired by the governed.
2. A world security through elimination of the doctrine of
force and aggression which-will provide a genuine foundation
for the gradual reduction of armament policies.
3. Re-establishment of stable and acceptable governments
in those, countries now subjugated.

Main sources of power available

professor of mechanical engineer

The sun's energy is the only im

Solar energy of earlier ages is
stored in coal, petroleum and na
