Crane Brinton Talks Tonight At Student Peace Conference

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

A full-scale Harvard Conference for World Peace opens its two day schedule at New Lecture Hall tonight in another effort to analyze the world's problems. The program starts at 7:45 p.m.

In this evening's session, C. Crane Brinton '19, McLean Professor of Ancient and Modern History, will join Henry D. Aiken, associate professor of Philosophy, in discussing changes in American attitudes and policies since the war. Two other speakers will be the Rev. Professor Joseph Fletcher of the Episcopal Theological Seminary and Colston E. Warne, professor of Economics at Amherst.

Battle of Ideologies

Fletcher will discuss the battle of ideologies sweeping the world, and both socialism and communism should come up in his analysis. The economic problems raised by the cold war are Warne's meat.

Tonight's meeting is the first of five, all under the chairmanship of Eugene Sparrow 2D. Tomorrow morning and afternoon, four other topics will be covered by other local educators and clergymen.
