FE ARS SUICIDE AHEAD FOR U. S.

Hutchins Charges Nation Is Drifting Into War; Says We’re Not Ready.

‘CHICAGO, Jan. 24 (U. P.).— President Robert M. Hutchins of ‘the University of Chicago charged Jest night that the American people, “deafened by martial music, ine language and large appropria- : tions,’’ are drifting ‘into . war and “suicide’. In a nationally broadcast (NBC) radio address which he said broke his eight-year silence on- national policies, the youthful educator. expressed opposition to President Roosevelt's foreign policy because “I hold that the United States can better serve suffering humanity everywhere by staying out” of war. He said he spoke as an individual and did not represent the University. "““The reason why we have no chance to help humanity if we go into this war is that we are not prepared,” he said. “I mean that we are morally and intellectually unprepared to execute the moral ® mission to which the President calls us.”

‘Student Protests Issued

2 Leaders of a student organization, Youth for Democracy, today an- ~ nounced that their answer to Mr. ‘Hutchins’ statement would be to ess a campaign for petitions ining President Roosevelt's leaselend bill. They erected four booths “on the campus to solicit student signatures. * Another petition urging immediate enactment of the bill was signed by 125 members of the university faculty. ~ Student leaders formally invited ‘Mr. Hutchins to attend a mass meeting of students next Tuesday at which three speakers are schedaled to plead the cause of the leaselend bill.

Dr. Hutchins

He said one-third of the nation|

“jll-fed, ill-clothed and illhoused” and cited examples of “men robbing, cheating and oppressing others” unnecessarily within the country,

. Fears U. S. to Commit Suicide

: “We Americans have hardly be- ‘ to understand and practice “the ‘ideals that we are urged to force on others,” Dr. Hutchins said. “We must recognize that the four freedoms (of speech, worship; from fear, want) face extermination in the total war to come.” mn In the international game © of “bluff, the President's speeches and recommendations are com‘mitting us to obligations abroad which we cannot perform,” he as-

' LONDON, Jan. 24 (U. P.).—The “old school tie” brigade received a setback today when War Secretary David Margesson| announced in Commons that Lieut.-Col, Ralph Charles Bingham had been relieved as commander of lan officers’ cadet training school. Col. Bingham, in a letter to the London . Times recently, asserted that officers recruifed from the middle and lower cl:sses fell down on their jobs. As compared to the officers from the upper classes with college and university traditions behind them, they lacked ‘“man-man-agement,” he charged. Margesson, himself a member of the “old school | tie” brigade, explained that Cpl. Bingham had
