Callcott Talks On World Peace To USC Chapel New World Organization Advocated By Speaker Dr. W. II. Callcott, professor of history in speaking before the chapel Tuesday advocated a new world or ganization of nations to be set tip after the peace. "This organization must have pow er to carry out its program. It must be able to say to any nation, 'Thou shalt not make over a certain amount of arms,' and be obeyed. "Economic pressure will gradual ly bring reluctaut nations to terms. will make them join the league. The same was true with North Carolina and Rhode Island who at first re fused to join the Union. Later they did. Why? The several states, among other things, effected econonic discriminations which forced them to see the advisability of joining. "Rights of the people timst be pre served, guaratnteed. Nations must have access to raw materials. Tle seas must be open to the trade of the world. They should be put into tihe hands of business peoples, and nlot given to gangster nations."

Paul Sansbury, another injured party by the act, took issue with Morris Mazursky and the debate rose into a high pitch. - Tearing parliamentary procedure to shreds, the society moved into a hear ing on the constitutionality, and voices rose clear and loud on each side. A momentary armistice caused by Jimmie Hill's motion to reconsid er the resolution crashed into debate as Sanisbury leaped to the floor to maintain that the motion could not be reconsidered as its constitutionality was under fire. h Florida Senator Guest it Of McKissiick Wednesday Senator Claude Pepper of Florida was the guest Wednesday of Pres. and Mrs. J.
