Pacifist Hinshaw States Program; Bundy Disagrees

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Russian conquest of Western Europe and the United States would result in the collapse of the Communist-totalitarian system, pacifist Quaker Cecil Hinshaw predicted last night.

Speaking before a meeting of the Liberal Union, Hinshaw said that the discrepancies between the present Kremlin propaganda and the Western world as it actually is, would cause a complete moral shake-up of any Russian occupation force.

After the speech, McGeorge Bundy, associate professor of Government, joined Hinshaw in a violent discussion of the expediency of organized pacifism.

Hinshaw disagreed with the present Western armament program on the grounds that it is an abandonment of moral values and too heavy a load on the economic stability of the country. "Non-violent resistance, on the other hand," he said, "alligns us with the good in our natures."

Bundy blasted Hinshaw's argument that totalitarian governments soon fall under their own weight by citing the fact that the Ottoman Empire lasted 1,000 years, and the Roman Empire 400 years. Bundy said that the leaders of Hinshaw's organized moral resistance program would be exterminated immediately after Russian occupation.
