POST-WAR COUNCIL TO KEEP ACTIVE IN SUMMER

Sponsors Six Talks By Guest Experts

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Summer will ace the Council on Post War Problems cooperating with the Harvard Fogum to engage six authorities on domestic and international affairs to speak at six open meetings, continuing the series begun by the Forum this spring.

From its original grouping into four committees on the political, social, economic, and ideological problems which face peace-makers at the end of this war, the Council has consolidated into two working parts, one investigating the domestic angle and the other the international side.

To Engage Faculty Advisors

Maurice Friedman '43, new chairman of the Council, said last night that they were arranging to have Faculty advisors from History Professor Sidney B. Fay's Faculty Committee on Post-War Research to guide the undergraduates in their discussions.

With the national and foreign policy-makers meeting together for the first time, a 12-page report on the Counell's progress has been drawn up and will be made public soon, to consolidate what conclusions have been arrived at for the benefit both of members and of temporary summer students who might be interested.

Broadcast on Network

Part of the activities of the group this summer will be to help the Defense Service Committee obtain speakers from the Faculty and elsewhere who are leaders in theorizing about the world after the war and to arrange programs for the Crimson Network.

Contrary to a recent tale originating in high Council circles, a magazine devoted to student suggestions for world reconstruction has actually been published and is expected to continue regularly, backed by the Carnegie Peace Foundation.
