MILESTONES
Guest Speaker
by Saul K. Padover
Thursday, 6:20 P.M.
There is an historic connection between the
recent death of Einstein and the Asian-African
conference at Bandung in Indonesia. Both are
milestones of our time. One may mark the end
of an era and the other a new beginning.
The death of Einstein, father of the atom and
passionate pacifist, may coincide with the demise
of the Cold War as we have known it in the last
seven or eight years. Begun by Stalin and continued by Truman, the Cold War had launched
mankind into history's most perilous armaments
race and had created fear, insecurity and a touch
of hysteria throughout the world.
Now there are signs of a change in the world's
climate of opinion.
Alvin Johnson, with his usual intuitive wisdom,
is, in my opinion, right when he says that for the
first time in human history war has been abolished. The hydrogen bomb has made large-scale
war all but impossible. And both sides know it.
We are thus entering a new world phase. Great
forces are stirring in Asia and Africa, hitherto
seemingly dormant continents. The 29 non-Europeans (mostly non-white) nations, whose leading
figures met at Bandung, gave notice to the West
that they are henceforth on their own. Bandung
was Asia's and Africa's declaration of independence. At Bandung neither the United States nor
the Soviet Union won any victories. Both were,
in effect, warned.
The new phase will be cooler than was the
Cold War. There will be no great intrusion of
ideological elements into what is essentially a
national-security conflict. There will be more
moderation and a more sober awareness that the
destructive forces at man's disposal are too dangerous for hotheads to handle. There will be more
intensive searchings for peace -for honorable
ways out of the awful entanglement into which
the great powers had maneuvered themselves.
Henceforth our tasks will be to find paths to
peace. This is far and away the most momentous
challenge of our age. To act wisely we must h:rve
information, guidance, cool analysis. Which is
the aim of adult education. Which is what we
try tirelessly to do at the New School.
May 26- "PAPERBOUND BooKs"- James T. Farrell and
Mrs. Lindley
Course: Book and Magazine Publishing in America
