Speaking before students and townspeople in Knowles Memorial Chapel, Dr. Holt said that nations must also delegate more sovereignty "to you and me as individuals". While stating that the present world charter is an improvement on the League of Nations covenant, Dr. Holt said that the next step must be a strong federal type of world government with strong executive powers. "The United Nations organization is now similar to our own articles of confederation," he said. "It is an improvement over the Union type of organ- ization, based on the balance of power theory. "But a strong central government is needed. The world must do what the United States did when it adopted its present form of government. That is a job for the next generation," he stated. Putting a strong air force at the disposal of the United Nations would be the first move toward a strong world government, Dr. Holt continued. "Later we could add strong army and navy forces. Then an aggressor could be stopped as soon as he started." Dr. Holt advocated a world espionage system, an arms quota for nations, and control of large armament factories. "Each nation should have enough arms to defend itself against an aggressor, until the United Nations forces could come to its aid," he said. "We must also do something to control the use of the atomic bomb." Dr. Holt said that the League of Nations covenant is responsible for about 75 per cent of the charter and that the remaining 25 per cent should be accredited at about one-half to the Big Four at Dumbarton Oaks and the remaining half to liberal-minded nations headed by Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines and some of the Latin American states. He felt that the charter was about 15 per cent better than the covenant. Harold E. Stassen, Dr. Holt believed, was the outstanding member of the United States delegation at San Francisco. He saw little danger of Russia withdrawing from the United Nations organization, and advocated that the United States take a strong but sympathetic stand regarding the Soviet Union. "Russia is playing power politics to the limit," Dr. Holt said. "At San Francisco it took every advantage of parliamentary procedure to gain its point. However, when voted down on Poland and Argentina it took its defeat with good grace, although many feared that it would withdraw from the conference." THE ROLLINS ALUMNI RECORD The Morse Gallery of Art. MORSE GALLERY OF ART The Morse Gallery has its third major exhibit of the season, introducing the works of famous watercolor artists. This collection, sponsored by Jeannette Genius McKean, Director of Exhibitions, and arranged through the coopera- tion of Dr. George H. Opdyke, was lent by the American Water Color Society, Fifth Avenue, New York. Contrary to the Gallery's usual policy of displaying works of art purely for enjoyment or instruction, certain of these paintings by contemporary artists have been made available for purchase. The Gallery's opening exhibit was of paintings, "The Italian Campaign," a graphic record of the army at war by the American soldier artists made on the scene of the invasion. This exhibit was loaned by the U. S. War department to the treasury department, which in turn lent it to the Morse Gallery. The second major exhibit consisted of garden and ecclesiastical sculpture presented through the modern art of photography. Because of the difficulties of packing and transportation, it is impossible to get large exhibitions of sculpture to Winter Park, but it is felt that this medium in art should not be neglected entirely and an exhibit such as this of good photographs of sculpture will keep the public in touch with what is going on in this field. The work shown was done by members of the National Sculpture Society, one of the leading organizations of its kind in this country. THE ROLLINS ALUMNI RECORD STUDENTS CONSIDER ATOMIC BOMB At their own request Rollins College students deceived an explanation of the scientific, political and military implications of the atomic bomb. Petitioned by the student council, Dr. Hamilton Holt assigned Professor George Saute, chairman of the Rollins division of science, to supply the answers at a special student assembly. "During our college careers, Dr. Holt has impressed upon us the need of world cooperation toward peace," Molly Rugg, Columbus, Ohio, secretary of the student council, said. "And now we want a down-to-earth discussion of the effect the atomic bomb will have on our future." The week following Saute's address, a panel of faculty members participated in a faculty-student discussion. The panel included President Hamilton Holt, Dr. Edwin L. Clarke, Dr. Royal W. France, Lt. Commander George Holt, Dean Henry M. Edmunds, Dr. James F. Hosic, Dr. John Martin, Dr. Isaac K. Phelps, Professor George Saute, Dr. William Melcher and Dean Wendell C. Stone.
