PAGE FOUR THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE— ot HAPPY BIRTHDAY it et FRIDAY, MARCH 23, 1945 Mrs. Frank Whaley . P lequal voice. And 82 per cent declared that no one of D(ul;y Alaska Emplre | the four G-eat Powers should have the right to veto the use of force when the majority of the nation | members wished to use it. Sixty-four per cent of the voters urged setting up the world organization at once, without waiting till the end of the war. And 62 per cent had faith that through such an organization ps proposed war could be abolished It may be argued that the Swarthmore borough population consists largely of business and professional people, and that the presence of a great college h its effect on the community’s thinking. But after due allowance is made for these influences, the poll re- mains a strong, clear clue to the present inclination of American opinion in general. It is a broad hint to our statesmen in Washington that the American people are ready and willing to try any reasonable step that may bring peace to this shattered world.
