The luncheon speaker was Paul Demaree who chose to speak on a most timely subject, "Education For International Security," stressing the point that education must have a place on the post-war program and with work a justifiable place can be secured for this important work in the future program. Education for war, as peoples of the Allied Nations know, has gained a strong foothold in the Axis nations and can be used just as effectively as a weapon for peace through the combined efforts of the victors in the post-war period as well as through the use of propaganda in the present strife. Preparation for education and culture among the war educated peoples can be accomplished with an education program who can do three important things, namely: Rebuild the educational program of the war devastated countries of the United Nations making such a program possible for all those who desire it; secondly, reconstruct the educational program of the Axis nations, teaching to those political slaves the philosophy of freedom and information that must come to the attention of these people, and thirdly, education for world citizenship which will have a broad scope of educational possibilities among the peoples of the nation. All phases of the main speakers topic were most excellently covered and brought before the members a clearer idea of the vast problem confronting the United Nations when peace comes. Mrs. Paul Demaree, president, introduced the speaker.
