Prepared
To Fight'
Truman Outlines
U.S. War Policy
The country's readiness to light
Russia, anywhere in the world to
put down aggression and preserve
"our free way of life," was pro
claimed by President Truman.
The American people, he said,
In probably the toughest speech
he every has delivered,, "hate
war," but "love our liberties,"
and "will not see them de
stroyed." He pledged the country's grow
ing military might to support the
peoples of all Asia to help "at
tain and defend their inde
pendence." President Truman bluntly
warned Russia: "We want peace.
But it must be a peace founded
on justice."
He made it clear, however,
that the United States will not
hesitate to go to war at any point
in the far east or elsewhere over
the globe if this step is necessary
to preserve the independence of
free nations.
His talk was the United states'
answer to Soviet propaganda at
tempting to picture this country
as "aggressors" in Korea and
heralded the reopening of a new
phase of his "campaign of truth"
designed to force Russia to make
a realistic bid for peace.
Challenge to Reds
He challenged the Soviet gov
ernment to lift its "iron curtain"
and take othr steps toward
peace and he laid at Russia's
doorstep responsibility for the
"constant threat to peace" in
herent in vast armies in both
Europe and Russia.
Truman pledged United States
support of all Asiatic nations in
their freedom and independence
against attacks by Russia or its
communist satellites with these
words.
"We know that the peoples of
Asia cherish their freedom and
independence. We sympathize
with that desire and will help
them to attain and defend their
independence. Our entire history
proclaims our policy on that
point."
The President made it clear
that the American public will
have to make "many sacrifices"
in order to continue to pour bil
lions of dollars into the buildup
of its military might.
"We must continue to increase
our production for military pur
poses and to increase the strength
of our armed forces," he said.
"As we go forward, let us re
member that we are not increas
ing our armed strength because
we want to. We are increasing
our armed strength because
Soviet policies leave us no other
choice."
Korean Front
And in the far east, South
Korean troops, leading by six
miles, raced a famed American
division Wednesday for the honor
of being the first into the red
capital of Pyongyang. Yesterday
the Korean republic's first divi
sion was eight miles southeast of
their objective. South of Pyong
yang, advance units of the U.S.
First cavalry were reported
Within 14 miles of the capital.
While in Washington the United
States promised France it will
provide from $1,800,000,000 to
$2,400,000,000 in American arms
and money to French forces in
Europe and Indo-China by the
end of 1951.
The money would come from
total of approximately $6,000,
000,000 which congress already
has appropriated to re-arm
nearly 20 friendly countries
against the threat of communist
aggression.

Council mile
Alters Band
Price Limits
Decision Needs
Faculty Sanction
The Student Council Wednes
day approved the recommenda
tion of the Council dance band
committee to remove the price
limit for band contracts and to
leave the final advisory power in
the hands of the sub-committee.
Last year, upon recommenda
tions of the Big Seven Student
Council convention, the Council
and faculty committee put a
$1,500 price restriction to be paid
to dance bands contracted for
any University dance.
Economic conditions at the time
this ruling was affected were
such that big name bands ould
be contracted at this price or
less. However, since that time,
existing conditions have made it
impossible for the dance bar4
committee to secure a good band
for that price.
Council Move
This move by the Council does
not remove all restrictions on
price negotiations by the various
organizations. The organizations
are now free to carry on price
negotiations without a specific
limit, but their final price must
be approved by the Council com
mittee. The annrnval of the Council is
not final in itself. The plan must
be submitted and approved by
the Faculty Committee on Stu
dent Affairs before any action
may be taken.
Suggestion by the faculty com
mittee for Council help on the
revision of the Council constitu
tion resulted in election of three
members to the constitution com
mittee. These Council hold-over
members are Betty Green, Gene
Berg, and Rob Raun.
Interviews Seniors
Interviews for applicants for
committee on Student Publica
tions were held by the Council.
Leon Pfeiffer was elected from
the six senior representatives
who applied for the position. In
terviews for the sophomore and
junior applicants will be held at
next week's Council meeting.
Approval was given for the
application of representatives on
the Council by NUCWA and Red
Cross. These membership appli
cations will now go to the faculty
committee for approval and then
back to the Council for final
sanction.
Discussion was held on tenta
tive plans to send Council repre
sentatives to the Big Seven Stu
dent Council convention this
year. Any Council recommenda
tions will have to be passed by
the faculty committee in regard
to the present budget.
After recommendation by Gene
Berg, judiciary committee chair
man, the Council voted to ap
prove the constitution of the stu
dent chapter of the Soil Conser
vation Society of America, Ne
braska chapter.
