College Professor In Report On Europe Tour

(Editor's note: Prof Bruce Hopper, Harvard University political scientist, made a fpurmonths tour of 11 European nations for the state department. He was "advance man" for a program which he feels may become \a major arm of U. 8. foreign policy. The program would involve freer cultural exchange between the United States and Europe — and Asia. In the following article. last of four. Prof. Hopper tells his recommendations to the state department regarding the program.) By EDWARD B. SIMMONS New Bedford, Mass. Standard-Times -• Distributed by I. N. S. by Special Permission. WOODS HOLE. Mass. (INS) — A noted professor of government who has lived in China and the Soviet Union and traveled extensively abroad has evaluated the "cold war" after a four-month mission abroad for the state department. Prof. Bruce Hopper believes the free world is in for a "quieter period” during which the United States must shift emphasis from guns to “demonstrating the super-

iorlty of our system in making better human beings.” Having served as the state department apostole on a "pathfinding” mission that took him through the British Isles and from the Mediterranean to Scandinavia, Professor Hopper is convinced that "the battle in the end is going to be cultural. "What have we got to show Europeans and Asiatics to help solve their requests for better terms from civilization?” the veteran Harvard faculty member said interrogatively at his summer home in Woods Hole. “All our great armaments are necessary as a deterrent, but they never were considered an end in themselves. "They are only a means to gain time and we need time. The cause ’ is there. The cause is teriffic.” Professor Hopper's state depart--1 meht tour was in behalf of the "cause.” He was the advance man 1 for a program that he and, he feels, top career men in the state department hope will become a major arm of foreign policy —a ) campaign to show free men the ■ United States is not barbarian, I that Americans and Europeans, i are joint heirs of a civilization far ■ superior to that of Bolshevism.

As Professor Hopper visualized it, the program would Involve much freer cultural exchange between the United States and Europe—and Asia. Americans abroad would attempt to point out to small audiences the bond among all western civilization's heirs, of whom Americans are the youngest. and that the advances so far made, and to come/in the lot of the average man only are possible under that civilization. The program over here would involve “the function of universities, artists, scientists ahd responsible professions to make personal sacrifice in order that Europe and Asia will have a truer concept of the nature of America." At this time Europe’s “ignorance" of America is “appalling," he maintains. • “We all in America have roots, far or near in the past, in Europe,” he explained. "We are so to speak, close to the North Sea in our Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, in our early leaders like Jefferson and Chief Justice Rutledge. Just as every individual owes a debt to his country in proportion to what he has received, so nations owe to those from which they drew. , ’ “America was only paying back in the world wars and is now continuing, because western civilization depends in large part on our co-operation with Europe ” Western civilization can demon-

P ray er Band Rally At Portland Sunday The weekly Victory prayer band rally will be held next Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock at the Gospel tabernacle, 122 Sast Race street, Portland, the Rev. Jaanes R. Meadows, founder announced today. The Rev. W. C. Correll, Peru, will be principal speaker, and Rev. Meadows will preside. Dwight Darr will be the song leader and Mrs. Dar will preside at the piano, strate its superiority, he feels, in four broad frontiers which may be the "key to the outcome:’’ 1 — In meeting the problems of the "mass of the people” in Europe and the United States, contrasted with the Bolshevik method: 2— In the handling of "the new Asiatic nationalism," which Professor Hopper believes should be permitted "to come along gradually. dot too precipitately”; 3— In applying nuclear force to such fields as cheap electricity, which could "redeem the whole East, or changing of sea water into fresh water to meet the worldwide threat of dessication; 4 — In developing synthetic raw materials. The cultural program calls for selling Europeans the conviction that western civilization can meet these problems better than 80l-

shbvism and that "man has within himself the capacity of proving the problem of Bolshevism, itself, <jan be solved.” Professor Hopper’s report to the state department "'included four principal recommendations: 1 — Get apostles by speaking to small audiences abroad and let them do the work, supply them with material; 2— Divide" Europe into regions in assigning cultural program personnel for tours like the professor’s ; j 3—Select a co-ordinating center for the program, and 4 —Give the program a much higher priority in foreign policy. Prof. Hopper said: ‘‘To counteract the creep of Bolshevism is like pushing back the tongue of tjie desert. You need water. It can’t be done quickly; things won’t grow in a year.” Professor Hopper said the cultural war with the Soviet .requires the “longer view" — that the crisis is, as Europeans believe, further away — and "more dedicated people. "I think we have not yet got the trained personnel to carry out the responsibility thrust upon us by history. The chief problem is training personnel, with a knowledge of language, literature and history of other peoples. It is part of the general lag between U. S. institutions and work the U. S. institutions have to do.”
