S. is "blunder- ing into war with Russia" and will find herself embattled in five years unless it abandons a policy of peace by force. He said that President Truman, Secretary of State James F. Byrnes, Senator Arthur Vandenberg and Winston Churchill talk of main- taining peace by force in senile disregard of the fact that force means war. "They do not understand it is no longer possible to win a war. Because of their prejudices os ' ineptness or inability to deal with the problems of the atomic age we are blundering into war—with Rus- sia," he said. Hutchins said no reputable scientist doubts that every country with any industrial capacity will have its own atomic bombs in five years. "We, therefore, have just five years in which to build for peace, but rattling an atomic bomb can hardly be called a method of inspiring trust in America's peace- ful intentions," he said. "The whole concept of keeping atomic energy secret and main- taining it under the military is de- signed to hold it as a weapon against Russia." Hutchins characterized the U. S. foreign policy as ''sheerest folly" and said it was a philosophy of force that brought forth demands for military conscription, atomic secrecy, Arctic military maneuvers and Pacific military bases.
