KEEP OUT OF WAR,
LECTURER ARGUES
It is America’s duty to “stay out” of the Qrient, Dr. A. L. Sachar, Hillel Foundation national director, said in a forum lecture at Kirsh-
baum Community Center last night. |.
“The jingoists who assert that ‘we ought to teach them a lesson’ are shouting fallacies.” Dr. Sachar said.
“It sounds so strong, so masculine.
But ‘why get excited Bu a Oe vine he
world with blood? “Despite the Panay incident, which climaxed a series of outrageous at= tacks on neutral shipping and neus tral lives, I find no evidence of hyss" teria in the United States or Engeland.”
