Dr. Langer, considering the cur- rent war from a historian’s point of view, said that it was not only a result of recent happenings in Europe. but also an outgrowth of hational and international tenden- cies dating back more than 150 years. “Even if Germany loses the war,” Dr. Langer declared, “there will have to be readjustments in Europe.” He predicted that the United States will enter the conflict only if Eng- land and France “are unable to keep afloat . . . if it comes to a showdown, we'll be in.” A musical program was presented by George O'Connor, tenor, with Sampson P. Holland at the piano.
