Americans United

ORGANIZATION GIVES OPPORTUNITY TO ALL TO WORK FOR WORLD PEACE

THROUGH Americans United for World Organization, which President Hopkins heads nationally as chairman of the board of directors, there is an opportunity and a need for Dartmouth men to help in the work of arousing public opinion favorable to a strong form of international organization for the preservation of peace. Other important Dartmouth ties with this non-partisan movement exist through Wil- liam W. Grant '03 and Walter Wanger '15, national vice-chairmen, and through Sidney C. Hayward '26, Secretary of the College, who is temporarily working at the New York headquarters as Director of Organization.

Americans United is a non-political movement to support the plan, along the lines of Dumbarton Oaks, which our government will work out in the near future with the other United Nations. A policy of national expansion, announced last month, will bring Americans United many more chapters across the country. Individuals are inquiring, "What can I do?," and all who are interested in the movement are requested to address the national headquarters as follows: Americans United, 465 Fifth Ave., New York 17, N. Y.

Please indicate whether you wish to become a member, at a fee of $1.00 or more, and also whether you will assist in forming a local chapter or join a branch if one exists in your community.

President Hopkins, last month in a statement in which he also announced that Henry J. Kaiser will head the membership committee of Americans United, said: "The tragic turn of political and military events in Europe must convince Americans on the Home Front that the most important contribution we can make to our fighting men abroad at this crucial moment is to insure a democratic world organization to enforce the peace. To delay is to delay the collapse of Germany and Japan, for their chief hope is to split the Allies."

Another new development in Americans United was the recent announcement of new members to its board of directors, which has been enlarged to include the following: Henry J. Kaiser; Sumner Welles; Senator Joseph H. Ball of Minnesota; Senator Carl A. Hatch of New Mexico; Philip Murray, president of the CIO; Beardsley Ruml '15, director of the Federal Reserve Board and treasurer of R. H. Macy and Co.; James G. Patton, chairman of the National Farmers Union; Ralph E. Flanders '32h, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston; Mrs. Dwight Morrow; Bishop Henry W. Hobson, Diocese of Southern Ohio; Bishop G. Bromley Oxnam, president of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ of America; Leo Cherne, head of Research Institute of America; Russell Davenport; and Mrs. Doris Warner Le Roy of Hollywood.
