(Photo by Munn World Government Is Feasible, Says Dr. Nash In Chapel By MARY EVELYN ROGERS "The only thing we can learn from history is that no one ever learned anything from hitstory," said Dr. Vernon Nash, speaking on the topic, "Prospects for a Gov erned World," at an assembly held in the Chapel Wednesday under the auspices of the International Re lations club. Dr. Nash went on to say that "The federal system is made to order for the world's political need." Four transforming things have come into the world's civilization, Dr. Nash said, that have made ad justment impossible. He listed these as improvements in trans portation and communication which have turned the world into a neighborhood, interdependence of nations upon each other for their livelihood, facilities for destruction that include biological warfare, and the growing abundance of com modities with which the entire world could live comfortably. Dr. Nash said that these four things make some form of world government necessary. Following his talk, Dr. Nash answered questions asked by the audience. In his answers he stated that he believes that a world fed eration will develop through the United Nations, for people have a tendency to build the new onto the old. He stated that at first he did not feel the world federation would permit unlimited immigration. He said that emigration is due to unfavorable conditions in a local ity, and the world government would try to solve the problem at the location or source. Dr. Nash is an author, lecturer, and pioneer world federalist. He started the first school of journal ism in Asia in 1924, and holds the bachelor of journalism and master of arts degrees from the Univer sity of Missouri. He was a Rhodes scholar from Missouri, and served with the British army in India and Africa during the first world war.
