roving throughout Europe. He has
talked to and watched at work
almost every important leader
of world- affairs. He was house
guest of Gandhi in 1942 and re
turned again to India in the sum
mer of 1946. He knew Roosevelt,
Churchill and Stalin.
THIS EXPERIENCE with world
leaders has equipped him with
vital information on international
affairs. This information and his
views are explained in various
books which he has written.
Among the most important of his
works are "Men and Politics,"
"Gandhi and Stalin" and "The
Great Challenge."
"Men and Politics" has been
cited by Sumner Welles as "a
work which will never be dated."
It concerns world affairs and the
development of the two great
world wars. His other books deal
with his associations with men
of foreign countries.
"RUSSIA," he points out, "is
not afraid and suspicious of de
mocracies for two clear reasons:
the British empire is in decline
and on the defensive; America
rushed from victory to headlong
psychological and military de
mobilization. Nobody else could
attack Russia. Her behavior is
explained not by fear of an at
tack but rather by her certainty
that she will not be attacked."
Fischer would organize a world
government now, even if only 80
percent of the world would join.
Blain Believes
Future Looms
For Psychiatry
Nothing can happen in the
future that does not in some way
bring in psychiatry, said Dr.
Daniel Blain, medical director of
the American Psychiatric Associa
tion at a convocation in the Union
ball room Friday.
"Since such institutions of
home, school, factory do play such
an important part in our lives,"
he pointed out, "this opens a wide
field for psychiatry. There are
careers related to psychiatry as
social work, clinical psychiatry
and nursing with opportunities
for a larger number of interested
students."
MORE CAN BE done for mental
diseases at the present time than
for any other kind of diseases,
he believes. He gave examples
of helping patients to regain their
minds and return to the normal
emotional way of living, whereas
it is not possible to obtain a new
heart or lungs. This he said,
makes psychiatry very optomistie
work.
ANSWERING THE question as
to what the citizens can do
towards alleviating the situation
of mental hospitals, Plain said
that the solution is really in the
citizens' hands.
"Is is the legislature that fur
nishes the money for improve
ment of state hospitals. And if
enough citizens voice their opin
ions ' for such an allocation, the
state hospitals can be definitely
improved."
Plain ended his speech with
four rules of appreciation which
we should let govern our lives.
They are: Appreciation of work,
amount of rest, value of physical
exercise and relaxation.
The convocation was sponsored
by the University Health Center.
chapter in Lincoln will conduct
the discussion. All women who
have taken one or more courses
in advertising or journalism and
who intend to make a career of
advertising are invited to attend
the meeting.
