Compton StatesEngineer NeedWil Be Greater

Manpower Policies MustDea Firmly With IssueSays Corporation Head

By WILLIAM KNEISER

"The number of graduates inthe next few years will be far

short of the need for new engi-neers." This was stated by Dr.Karl T. Compton, Chairman of theInstitute corporation, in a recentissue of the 'Scientific AmericanMagazine. The engineer has becomean increasingly important factorm our civilization because it is theywho design the machines and theproducts made .by those machines.

Prosperity in time of peace andstrength in time of war has alwaysdepended upon our industrialprogress and technological progress.This is adequately illustrated inthe Industrial Revolution whichIs ever continuing. In 1850 onlyfive percent of America's industrialpower was supplied by machines,while now eighty-four percent isprovided by machinery.

From 25,000 in 1890 to 400,00Qengineers in 1950, the professionhas grown to be our third largest.It has made the most rapid progressduring times of national emer-gencies. The two world wars inthis century enormously stimulatedthe demand for engineers. Becauseof today's emergency, calling foxincreased economic strength andindustrial power, the demand forengineers has again become urgent.The problem of obtaining theneeded amount of these engineersis just as important to the nation'ssecurity as the stockpile of criticalmaterials.

Dr. Compton was chairman in(Contieined on Page 4)

These thoughts come from Pro-fessor Henry Steele Cornmager, thrlenext speaker to -be presented bythe Lecture Series Committee. Thelecture by Professor Comniager isentitled "McCarthyism and theAmerican Mind," and the talk willoe held on Thursday, November 1,at 5:00 P.M., in Room 10-250.

Professor Commager is a recog-nized historian of America and anincisive commentator on currentAmerican and World Problems. Beis at present professor of historyat Columbia University and-hasbeen visiting professor at Harvard,the University of Chicago, andCambridge University.

Comnlager is a prolific author,several of his history books beingused as texts by a large nuarmberof universities. His books includeTheodore Parker, Yankee Crusader,Majority Rule and Minority Rights,and The American Mind.

During the war, Commager actedas 'consultant to the Office of WarInformation, and later as consult,ant to the U. S. Army attached toS.H.AE.F.

SopJ ororesIt's all over but the arguing, and

with the settling of the dust antthe mopping up of blood and gutsTech has finally returned to abnormalcy. The 51st annual FieldDay rivalry has at last ended andthough many will be the disputesthe fact remains that it was theClass of '54 (the same class thatwalked off with Field Day last year)that won.

The soft balmy breezes and gen-eral spring-like .atmophere orSaturday afternoon gave little indi-cation to the public of the stormthat was soon to break.

CrewThe first typhoon to hit was the

traditional crew race. With boththe Freshmen and Sophomoresvaliantly straining down the course,it was the Frosh who finallyemerged victorious. It seemed thatthey hit fewer crabs. It was a tightrace though, the Sophs losing bybut five seats.

With swimming taken by theSophs the score now evened out tothree points for each class.

FootballThe first pull in the tug-of-war

went to the Freshmen before thestart of the foobball tussle. Withthe full-throated roar of the crowdreverberating over Briggs Field,and the R.O.T.C. band playing, bothsquads trotted onto the field, eachconfident of victory in the all-important game. Two tallies by thesophomores left the score at halftime 120, '54's favor. The finalscore of the game saw the sophswin 19-6. The lone freshmen goal,incidentally,. was made on arecovered fumble.

RelayThe inter-class relay event went

to the sophomores. Taking the leadat the very beginning, the lastsophomore runner came in fiveyards ahead of the opposing fresh-man.

Since the class of '55 took thesecond pull in the tug-of-war, vic-tory in Field Day now hinged onthat brawl to end all brawls, theGlove Fight. After fifteen minutesof mayhem and murder, a tallyof gloves was made and '55 wasdeclared the winner, having 35more gloves than their erstwhileopponents. The final score at theend of Field Day 1951 stands at 15-6.

Thus it seems that the traditionhas held true. If a class takes FieldDay in their Freshman year, it isvery probable that they wdl alsotake it the next. There isn't muchmore for the present freshmen todo but say. "Wait 'til next year."

A fund, the income from whichwill be used for prizes for studentsof unusual qualifications, has beenpresented to Dr. K. T. Compton,chairman of the MILT. Corporationby the Boston SteiLn Club. The fund,to be known as the Karl TaylorCompton ~Prize FuMd, was presentedat a dinner dance at the HotelStatler on Wednesday evening,October 17. So far Dr. Comptonhas made no statement as to howhe proposes to use the fund.

"If politics is to be scientific itmust study psychology, the main-spring of human affairs," saidBertrand Russell at his LSC lec-ture, last Friday, October 26. Pro-fessor Russell, winner of the NobelLiterature Prize in 1950, outstand-irg mathematician and prominentphilosopher, spoke on "HumanNature and Politics."

"All human activity is fonnrmu-lated by desire." Man does nothold to duty unless he desires to,professor Russell asserted. But headded that not all desires werenecessarily political - the sexualdesire for one. An exception wasthe Rape of the Sabines whichwas certainly of political impor-tance.

THE OFFICALS NEWSPAPEROF THE M.l.T. UNDERGRADUATS

A unique view of the Glove Fight which climaxed a Sophomore victory overthe Freshmen.

By HUGH GALLAGHER

Before giving his LSC lecturelast Friday, Professor BertrandRussell gave an interview to collegeradio and press representatives inthe Emma Rogers Room.

Commenting on the outcome ofthe elections in Great Britain, Mr.Russell, a Laborite, said: "I don'tparticularly regret the Tories win-ning the election. There are a lotof nasty problems coming up andI would just as soon the oppositionhad to handle them." He considersthe rearmnament problem to beextremely difficult for dollar shortBritain adding that Churchill hasnever been good at economics andwill not be good at handling thedollar gap. He agreed with theopinion that America will prob-ably be' more inclined to loanmoney -to Churchill's governmentthan it was to Atlee's.

"lran aad Egype"He does think that Churchill will

be able to handle the Iranian andEgyptian disputes. "But," saysRussell, "the problem can only be

Little Memorial Lecture will begiven by Sir Henry Thomas Tizard,the distinguished British physicistand aeronautical authority, inWalker Memorial on Monday, No-vember 5, at 8:30 p.m. Sir Henry'ssubject will be "Science and De-mocracy."Sir Henry Tizard has won inter-

national recognition in a career ofoutstanding achievements in edu-cation, research, and administra-tion. From 1911 to 1921, exclusiveof his war service, he was a Fellowof Oriel College, Oxford, and lec-turer in natural science. More re-cently he was rector of the ImperialCollege of Science and Technologyin London from 1929 to 1942, andpresident of Magdalen College from1942 to 1946.

The Arthur Dehon Little MemorialLectureship, under whose auspicesSir Henry will speak, was estab-lished in 1944 with funds donatedby Arthur D. Little, Inc., in memoryof its founder, the late Arthur|Dehon Little. Dr. Little.was widelyknown for his outstanding pioneer-ing in the application of science toindustry and for his varied and im- portant technical activities, espe- cially in the field of chemistry.

The love of excitement is anotherof man's desires. "Man's superiorityto the beasts," said Mr.' Russell,"lies in his capacity for boredom."

Man's InstinctsThe fundamnental desire of man

is the wish to survive, whichincludes need of food, clothing andshelter. This desire once satisfied,man is subject to other impulses,such as acquisitiveness, rivalry,vanity and love of power.

If the British had considered theimportance of rivalry, World Wai Imight have been avoided, Russelldeclared. He pointed out that when

L~ast week 'we printed a letter'concerning the new bulletin boards,which covered the -present situationfairly thoroughly. There is onepoint, however, -which was notbrought out. It concerns a certaintype of student plagued with theitchy finger.

Since the flew bulletin boardshave been in use, the quality ofthe posters has, in general, im-proved. Some of the activities have,in fact, put uop very decorativeadvertising. However, these are imn-mediately spot-tqd by the boys withthe aforemzentioned diseased digit.They pouncee on themn, rip them off-Ithe boards, and take them to somesecluded hide-a-way where all suchcontraband is kept. These gentle-men, who call themselves art col-lectors, have been quite busy thepast few weeks.

While it is true that the postersare to be admired, they don't haveto be taken home to be appreciated.The various activit>ies have a rightto expect that their posters will beleft on the hoards. Art collectorsshould at least wait until after theevten,, has taken place before theyrun off -with the advertisinlg., Someactivities could be seriously hin-dered by such indisriininateswiping.

The President's report noted im-portant changes in curricula andteaching methods in the variousdepartments of the Institute,

"The spirit of these changes "President Killian said, "'is the samethroughout the Institute: to in-crease the flexibility of the pro-gram, to respond to new profes-sional demands, to enlarge theopportunity for creative achieve-ment in the undergraduate years, tointegrate the various aspects of thestudent's work and to help makethe student's college experiencebecome mteaningful as a unifliedlwvhole."

Plans are under gay for the open-ing next year of the new School ofIndustrial Management. Recallingthat one of the long-range educa-tional goals of the Institute hasbeen to provide an environment forits students which performs in thebroadest sense an educational func-tion in itself, President Kilianreported that additions to the In-stitute's housing system, includingfraternities, now makes it possiblefor all students who wish it to liveon the Institute grounds.

"Students and staff," the Presi-dent said, "now have an exceptionalopportunity to work together withgood will and common purpose indevisung sound policies for ourenlarged dormitory system. Toaccomplish this teamwork we mustclearly distinguish between theresponsibilities -which the Institutemust assume and the responsibili-ties which are appropriate to stu-dent government."

Looking to the future the Presi-dent raised a number of importantquestions for consideration in plan-ning steady refinement of under-graduate education. These problems,he said, will require boldness andimagination to solve. Questions thatare presently commanding atten-tion, he said, include the kind ofgraduate that should rbe producedin the years immediately ahead tobest prepare them for present-daysociety, Another problem is to findways of providing adequate incen-tives for foutstanding undergraduateteaching so that staff members arekindled with enthusiasm for crea-tive work hi the classroom.

Discussing the program of theSchlool of Humanities and SocialStudies, President Killian reportedthat the faculty had approved anew four-year program in theIhumanities for students in scienceand engineering. Under this pro-gram all freshmen and Sophomoreswill be required to take a two-yearbasic sequence of courses in the

During the year the Institutereceived a grant of $150,000 fromthe Carnegie Corporation for thepurpose of strengthening the In-stitute's program in general educa-tion over a period of five years.The grant is being used in a varietyof ways, including the release oftwo or three professors each yearfrom normal teaching duties so thatthey can make careful studies ofprograms in general education atother institutions; the appointmenteach year of a distinguished teacherof humanities as a visiting profes-sor; and the provision of stipendsfor young men appointed to the

tion engines, proauctlon, Lexti es,1and j;et propulsion.

Improved Teaching

In addition to a thorough re- organization of the content andsequence of its courses, the PhysicsDepartment has given special atten-tion to improvements in teaching.In addition to participation by sen-ior- members on the staff in teach-ing at all levels of instruction, anapprentice system has been organ-lized under which a number ofjunior staff mnembers are associatedwith senior members for thepurpose of learning teaching meth-ods from them. This method, Presi-dent Killian said, has proved mostsuccessful.

Under a new plan which wentinto effect this year a number ofJuniors and Seniors in geologyjoined the staff of GeophysicalService, Inc. during the past sum-mer for geophysical field work. Thisis in line with the department'sdeveloping program in geophysics.

A four-year undergraduate pro-gram in biochemical engineering isnow offered by the Department ofFood Technology. This program isdesigned to prepare lnen for the

Foremost in his discussion of theeducational program, the [Presidentplaced the Faculty Committee onUndergraduate Pol icy, which wasset up last year as a result of the"Lewis Report," to continually studythe undergraduate curriculum, itsobjectives, its standards, and itsphilosophy of education.

During its first year the comnruit-tee has devoted special attentionto problems of the freshman year.innovations initiated include thedesignation of a faculty advisor foreach section of freshman students,a change which has led to closerstudent-faculty relationships. Thecommittee sponsored orientationlectures for freshmen early in thefall term and a review period atthe end of each term of the fresh-man year. Upon recommendationof the committee 'the Institute'sfaculty has appointed a specialcommittee to study the curriculum'of the first two years, which isbasic to ail courses.

Engineer Shortage1946 of a committee which repre-sented various agencies surveyingthe supply and demand for newengineers. After estimating thisproblem by studying the plans ofindustry, government; and educa-tional institutions, it was concludedthat the supply of engineers would'catch up with the demand in 1952.

However, three unforeseen eventsupset these predictions. These werethe unexpectedly large rush ofveterans to study under the G.I.Bill, industries unanticipateddemand, and finally Korea, comingwhen the large number of G.I.enrollments ,began to subside.

At present there is a markeddecrease in the enrollments ofengineering institutions and there-fore a decrease in the number ofgraduates. Dr. Compton believesthat the major reason for thisoccurrence was that various author-ities became convinced that theunusual output of graduates in1949 and 1950 would be such thatthere would not be enough jobsfor them.

Manpower PoliciesIndustry and government are

aware of this problem and if draftor manpower policies do not dealunderstandingly with the situation,it could be quickly changed frombad to worse. In this complicatedsituation involving national secur-ity, Dr. Compton states that thefollowing steps seem. to be neededand some of them are already inoperation. Since withholdiangmaterials from nonessential jobsreleases manpower for more essen-tial ones, engineers are being in-

"HSe's not the handsomest bar-tender in the world, but he'sgenerous with the Angostura*."

directly allocated to high-priorityjobs.

Deferment of men in essential,professions is provided for in theU'niversal Military Service Traininglegislation. A board should be setup to allocate policies for thedisposal of engineering manpoweramong civilian and militaryclaimants.

A Scientific Corps might be estab-lished within the armed forces towhich young engineers of draftstatus could be assigned fornational service wherever needed.There might be, as in the last war,a program whereby the governmentassigns draftees to colleges forspecial training in technical fields."For the long term the most im-portant need is to correct the recentwidespread impression that thecountry is oversupplied with engi-neers."

Air Force(Continu ed from Page 1)

AFB, Florida, for long-range guidedmissile research, Edwards AFB,Muroc, California, for aicraft serv-ice testing, and Hollamoan AFB,Alamogordo, New Mexico, for guidedmissile research. Also, several menof the Class of 1951 are currentlyon the Tech campus, assigned toAir Force projects which are inprogress here.

The assignments of the Class of1951 confirm the long-range pro-gram of the Air Force to provideactive duty training which isrelated to the experience and edu-cation of newly commissioned offi-cers, who are ordered to activeduty for 24 months. At the end ofthis period, indications are theymay elect to return to civil lifeif they so desire.

For itsBostonworks of

program this weekend, theSymphony will includeWeber, Debussy and Foss,

the latter being a contemporaryAmerican composer whose home isin Boston. The program will be-gin with Weber's overture to "DerFreischutz" which will be followedwith the first American perform-ance of the second piano concertoby Lukas Foss in which the com-poser will appear as soloist. Therest of the' program is made up oftwo works by Debussy, first of whichwill be "Printemrps" Suite sym-phonique with Bernard Zighera andLukas Foss pianists and second, thesymphonic metamorphosis "Iberia"(Images for orchestra, No. 2). Themusic room in the library willagain be open at 8:15 p.m. for thosewho wish to hear the FiMV broadcastof the Saturday evening concertpresented by the Lowell Institute.

The Pierian Sodality of 1808 willpresent Alexander Schneider andEugene Istominin in a recital ofthree Beethoven Sonatas: Opus 24,Opus 30 No. 2 and Opus 96. Therecital will begin at 3:00 p.m. onSunday, Novefnber 4, in the SandersTheatre. In this same category, theCambridge Collegium Musicum willpresent the second in their seriesof recitals of the music of Bach,Vivaldi and other late 18th centurycomposers on Monday, November 5,in the Sanders Theatre. EdwinBodky, piano and harpsichord;Wolfe Wolfinson, violin; and Sam-'uel Mayes, violoncello, are the out-standing members of the group ofartists who will present the pro-gram.

By ED EIGEL

The' ability to talk is everywhererecognized as a quite importantfunction of ,the human body. Mostpeople enjoy communicating theirideas to others by word of mouth.Members of the faculty here at theInstitute are in general among thislatter group.

Some of the faculty members, infact, are so inclined to speak thatthe Dean's office keeps on file a listof Professors and instructors whowould like to talk before studentgroups. The list also includes thetopics they would be willing to dis-cuss, and tells how often they wouldbe able to tear themselves awayfrom their classroom duties anddeliver their talks. This list is avail-able to the leaders of all studentgroups seeking speakers.

Bird Baths In Gardens

About what will these facultymen speak? At first, the answerto such a question would prolbablybe, Whuy, that depends on the courseiri which the Professor teaches. Insome cases this is true but the listalso contains some surprises. Forinstance, Professor Eugene Boehneof the Electrical Engineering De-partment prefers to speak "On Lo-cating a Bird Bath in a SquareGarden." He will enlighten stu-dent groups interested in this fieldtwice a term.

In general, the field of topics rep-resented in the list is quite wide.If you are interested in learninghow to operate a battleship, theman to contact is ProfessorMooney, Course II. ProfessorSchwarz, of the same department,will discuss Fire Prevention. Re-

said, need to create an environ-ment in 'which teachers of un'der-graduates feel they can add to theirreputations through the develop-ment of better programs, betterteaching materials and betterteaching methods. Another problem,he added, is to insure high qualityin the entering classes. The severedrop during the past several yearsin the number of students whoelected science and engineering forcollege study i's, he said, an acutenational problem which requiresenergetic efforts to solve if theurgent need for engineers andscientists is to be met.

During the past year a grant of$175,000 from the CommonwealthFund made it possible for the De-partment of Biology to offer post-doctoral training for men who hadcompleted their medical education.This department has been attract-ing an increasing number of menwho have completed their work forthe M.D. and who wish to acquireadvanced research techniques inthe field of biology to preparethem for effective research in thefield of medicine.

Since the end of the war the In-stitute has had an increasing num-ber of scholars engaged in post-doctoral study and research. Anumber of these are mature menand women who come to the Insti-tute on invitation as guests. Otherscome on post-doctoral fellowships.This group comes, not for the pur-pose of studying for degrees, but inorder to work in close associationwith members of the faculty in theInstitute's laboratories at a levelbeyond the graduate school degreeprogram. Dr. Killian believes thatmore formal recognition should 'begiven to this advanced group. He

-suggested the possibility of estab-lishing an institute or foundationfor post-doctoral studies, thus add-ing to the undergraduate and grad-uate schools a formally recognizedorganization for advanced study.

Turning to defense research, thePresident reported that M.I.T. ismaking important contributions tonational security through a number

of important projects. These defenseprojects, he noted, impose heavyburdens and sacrifices on the Insti-tute's staff. "We have acceptedthem," he said, "in response toinsistent appeals from the govern-ment and only after becoming con-vinced of their importance and thatwe possess special resources of back-ground, highly expert staff, andmanagement, which places us underspecial responsibility."

Deveiopment Program

Discussing facilities that had beenor will be acquired as a result of theInstitute's recent development pro-gram, President Killian emphasizedthat funds have not yet ,beensecured to provide +,wo inportantbuilding projects. The first is alaboratory for the physical sciencesto bring together widely scatteredand inadequate facilities in elec-tronics and nuclear science. Thesecond is a gymnasium, which isurgently needed in the Institute'srecreational program. Funds forboth of these projects are nowbeing sought.

"When all the objectives of thedevelopment fund have beenreached," President Killian said,"nmajor buildings needs will havebeen amply met for a long time.From this point on our fund-raising

should be directed mainly towardincreasing the Institute's perma-nent funds. I am confident that giftsand 'bequests will be forthcoming tocreate endowment and other fundsadequate for the Institute's in-creased responsibilities." Among theimmediate needs for funds, henoted, include endowment for per-manent 'tenure salaries for at leasttwenty additional endowed profes-sorships. More funds are urgentlyneeded for scholarships.

College Sports and Sweden

Many of the faculty memibernhave noted more than one topi'on the list, and often these ar.-only remotely connected with eac-other. Professor Locke of the Language Departmeent will speak orCamping, Amateur Theatrical Pro-ductions, or the French Politicaand Economic Situation. Profes-sor Grant, Course III, is interestecin College Sports Programs, GaoTurbines and Jet Engines, ancSweden. Railroading or Diction-ary Making are discussed wiltiequal ease by Mr. Condoyannise othe Language Department.

Professor Koch, CourseIV, will speak on "The Industrial-ized House," butt will discuss it onl:yonce. Hence, here it is a case o,first come, first served.

These men make up but a smalpart of the list of members of thefaculty interested in addressingstudent groups. Whenever yoibneed a speaker for your meetingor smoker, a glance over Dean Hil-ton's list might provide the mar.you want. In any event, it shouldprovide some interesting reading.

Technoiogay's undefeated CrossCountry team extended its dualmeet winning streak to six in a rowlast Friday afternoon by toppingthe New Hampshire Wildcats, 25-30,at Franklix Park, Boston. The vic-tory gave ,the Beaver Harriers arecord of three wins and no defeatsfor the current season.

With John Farquhar, the Engi-neer's number three runner so farthis season, handicapped by a coldand unable to match the pace ofthe leaders, the meet proved'to bethe closest of the season for thelocal runmers. Captain ChuckVickers and Bill Nicholson oncemore matched strides all the wayto tie for first place for the thirdstraight time, cutting their winningtime down to 22 minutes 9.2 sec-onds. Tom Hahn, Bob Bodwell, andAlan CarLson, New Hampshire'sthree standouts, camle in almostside by side to take the next threeplaces. Jerry Tiemann and ClydeBaker came in sixth and seventh and when John Avery crossed theline to finish ninth the Techmenhad their third in a row.

preceded the varsity contest, theBeaver yearlings showed consider-able improvement although bowingto the Hampshire Frosh by a 22-37tally. Marty Gilvar, newly electedcaptain of the local Frosh, finishedwell tb take second place in17 minutes, 29 seconds, good time

after five complete Saturday races.Racing conditions were excellentwith good winds and sunny skiesprevailing. Conditions were poorSunday with a light wind anda drizzle. There was not enoughwind to complete a final race andas MIT had a commanding lead,the ninth race was not sailed.Garcia, with Alain de Berc as co-skipper, took regatta honors witha score of 74 points. Steve Loringand Seabury McGowan as co-,skipper were high scorers in divi-sion B with 70 points.

This professorship, recently setup under a grant from the Pitts-burgh Plate Glass Company, is de-signed to further theoretical andexperimental work on the constitu-tion of solids. Scientists have al-.ways found it much easier to ex-plain the behavior of matter in thegaseous and liquid states than inits solid condition, but in recentyears important advances havebeen made in the elucidation ofthe structures of metals, glass andother solids. Professor Slater hasmade outstanding contributions tothese advances and it is expectedthat his new appointment will con-tribute greatly to progress in thisimportant field.

Russell Lecture- (Conti-nued jrom Pape 1)

This love of excitement is Es most.powerful desire. InL the wilds o-fAustralia, where people are fewand rabbits are many, man maysatisfy himself by killing rabbits.But in London or New York, wherepeople are many and ra'bbits few,other means must be found tosatisfy this desire. Mr. Rlussellsuggests the construction in NewYork of artEiicial water falls withvery fragile canoes; anyone whospeaks of a preventive war shouldbe asked to take out his excite-mnent by riding in the canoe.

We and theRussians"Why do we hate the Russians?"

asks Russell. Is it because they aretrying to take away our liberty?We hate them so strongly, saysRussell, that we have tried toimitate them at home. The realreason for this hate, according toRussell, is fear.

"The main thing needed to makethe world happy is intelligence,and that, fortunately, can be cul-tivated in men," said Mr. Russmll,in conclusion.

During the question period whichfollowed the lecture, Mr. Russellmade two sweeping statements:'"here is absolutely no possiblehope for mankind withoaut wide-spread teaching of birth controlimethods," and "I am at a loas tosee any influence exerted by Chris-tianity on the flow of world history.'"

Room 10-250 was full, with theaudience squatting on the groundbefore the front row of seats, stand-ing (in single file) along the sidesof the room and sitting on thesteps leading to the upper tiers.

good, virtuous but feeble man."Asked what he thought of the

Institute, Mr. Russell said that theonly thing he could say, havingbeen at Technology for only fifteenminutes, was 'VI.I.T. is large."

Struik

BIe also stated that he knewnothing of the Struik case, butthat if told the facts he mightbe able to conirent. Whentold that Professor Struik was ateacher of -Mathematical Theory,who had been suspended from hisduties at the Institute when in-dicted for attempting to overthrowthe government of the State ofMassachusetts and the UnitedStates, he remarked: "What apowerful man he must be!" Whentold that Struik's mainl crime wasbelieving the communist form ofgovernment superior to democracy,Russell said: "It is utterly absurdto object to a man's personalopinion. This sort of thing is therevival of the religious persecutionof the Middle Ages." Commnentingon the fact that Struik's majoractivity was concerned withfurthering contact and exchangeof ideas with Rtussia, he said, "Ohwell, if he was trying to preventwar, then he richly deserves toget the sack."

The above version of the Struikcase was not told to M.r. Russellby THE TE I. Mr. Russell alsosaid that if Struik was actively
