MacLeish Advocates Peace to Fight Reds

Archibald MacLeish, Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory, last night reaffirmed the need for democratic nations to pursue a policy of peace in combating communism.

Speaking on behalf of the U.N. Council, MacLeish said we must retain our faith in the United Nations as the best means of preventing war. He cited the General Assembly's demand to Red China to free the captive U.S. filers as an attempt to "do through the U.N. what Senators would do through blockade." MacLeish stated that men like McCarran and McCarthy, who prefer to resort to force are "traitors to peace."
