Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - January 20, 1940, Winnipeg, Manitoba Page sixteen Winnipeg free press saturday january 20, 1940 Berlin talk with neutrals rumoured by m. Fodor Brussels Jan. 19. Special Chicago daily news re ports from Berlin As Well As Neutral sources today asserted that Germany plans to a conference of representatives of Neutral Powers to be held in Berlin within the near future on the question of Trade with the allies. Formal demands will be made by the Reich it is averred that Commerce with the enemy cease on pain of retaliation. Up to the present however no Neutral has received an invitation to such a meeting at least so far As can be ascertained Here. Meanwhile developments Are awaited with bated breath in con sequence of yesterday s events at the Hague where the dutch Cabinet Council was unexpectedly convened in extraordinary session. While various defence measures among other problems were undoubtedly debated it seems that the main item examined was Belgium s note to Berlin on the Torp doing of the dutch motor ship Arends Kerk by a German submarine in the Bay of Biscay last monday. The sinking of the Arends Kerk is interpreted As a fresh warning to neutrals to cease trading with the allies. There can be no doubt that Germany will bring extraordinarily Strong pressure to Bear on the Neutral countries in a final attempt to coerce them to refrain from trading with England and France. Education for peace in . United states educationists realize that so Many important democratic ideals Are at stake in the War that if it came to a Pinch the United states would have to join the allies but they have not really faced the question yet. They unanimously agree that plans must be made ahead to ensure a better organized world after the War. This was the View of or. Car son Ryan new York president of the progressive education association and a member of the Carnegie foundation for the advancement of learning who arrived in Winnipeg Friday Over Canadian National lines. Educational circles in the United states Are convinced that there must be no More negative peace such As we had after the first great War but a peace which would not Only prevent War in future but make possible the constructive develop ment of human or. Ryan said. Main difference main difference Between the attitude of United states educationists now and in 1914, was that they now recognized the Gravity of the inter National struggle and were taking Steps to Supply the fullest possible information on the background of the War to High schools students he continued. Records of speeches of Chamberlain Daladier and Hitler and material on the history of All the nations engaged in the War were being distributed to schools under the auspices of the american coun cil of education. The Council also was trying to obtain agreement among educationists on constructive peace plans. During the War educationists in North America should examine their educational institutions to make sure that they Are truly democratic and not based on authoritarian methods but on the sharing of activity Between school superintendents teachers and he urged.
