HE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

By GEORGE GALLUP Director, American Institute of Public Opinion PRINCETON, N. J., Aug. 27— Discussion of the Anglo-American “Eight Points” for the post-war world has inevitably raised speculation about the possibility of another —and stronger—league of nations arising from the ashes of the old. While the Roosevelt - Churchill declaration does not specifically refer to a post-war league, one interesting question is what the average man in the United States thinks about organizations of this kind. Since the ques-

The answers indicate an almost perfectly even division of opinion on the question, with a substantial number “undecided” or without definite views: Think U. S. Should Have oined

Obviously much water has gone under the bridge since 1919, and a whole new generation has come to maturity since then. The replies are no indication of the way the country may have felt 22 years ago on Woodrow Wilson's plan. Indeed, Institute surveys indicate there has been an interesting change of opinion regarding the League in the past four years, at least. For when the Institute asked voters in the fall of 1937, “Would you like to see the United States join the League of Nations?” two persons in every three were opposed. Further studies have shown opinjon divided almost 50-50 today on the question of joining a new postwar league.

But the Institute survey indicates

that the majority of Americans remain skeptical of this claim. Their comments show that they believe the “old League” was inescapably dominated by the France and Britain,
