BUSINESS AT THE
PEACE TABLE
It is distinctly encourag
ing to know that those who
will write the peace are a
ware of the place that ec
onomic relationships must
have in the maintainance
or order in the postwar
world.
Unfortunately, those who
together tried to tie togeth
er the broken threads of
international relations af
ter the last war were think
ing too narrowly in terms
of political readjustments.
Happily, the statesmen
of today are evidencing re
alization of the importance
of reaching agreement on
economic problems simul
taneously with establish
ment of an international
political ..organization ..to
preserve world peace.
The ..“Big Three” ..will
convene a United Nations
conference at San Francis- j
co on April 25 to perfect
the Dumbarton Oaks plan
for a general international
organization ..to ..maintain
peace and security, which
will have among its tasks
an overall program for ec
onomic collaboration by
the nations.
Under the Dumbarton
Oaks plan, an Economic
and Social Council would
be a coordinating agency
for economic, social and
humanitarian groups, in
cluding the international
Labor Organization; and
the other proposed agen
cies, if established, such as
the United Nations Food
and Agricultural Organiz
ation, the International
Monetary Fund, and the
International Bank for Re
construction and Develop
ment.

TEAMING EYES AND EARS
DAVENPORT, I A.—The value
of teaming eyes and ears in edu
cation is receiving high recognition
in virtually every major university
and numerous smaller institutions
of higher learning, as well as in
public and parochial schools
throughout the nation.
Research has disclosed that the
overwhelming majority of people
are “eye minded”—that is, they
learn better and faster when they
see the subject matter. Only a
comparatively few persons are “ear
minded”—that is, have the ability
to absorb and retain through hear
ing alone. „
But when sight and sound, as
exemplified by sound motion pic
tures, are combined, the learning
rate and retention value, are in
creased far beyond the orthodox
teaching methods. Hundreds of col
leges are using standard 16 milli
meter sound motion pictures and
equipment to help speed student
education, and in addition, many of
them have established visual edu
cation departments where the new
techniques are taught to the edu
cators themselves.
A pioneer in the modern concept
of student education and training
of educators is the University of
Iowa at Iowa City, which organ
ized a Department of Visual In
struction in 1917. There, as in
numerous similar institutions, a
splendid film library covering a
wide variety of topics, is main
tained. A film service is extended
to schools, churches and other re
sponsible organizations and indi
viduals in the state and adjacent
| territory.
This university and its sister
colleges are preparing for the day
when hundreds of thousands of
service *nen flow back into the halls
of learning and by their very num
bers, impose a tremendous strain
on nation’s educational facilities.

outlines of the internation

is taking shape.
The President has indi
cated his intention—with
out awaiting the end of
hostilities — to ask Con
gress to consider proposals
for the joint action of the
nations on a wide variety
of things.
American business has a
vital interest in the kind
of international economic
commitments that will be
made both now and follow
ing the end of hostilities.
It stands ready always to
give to those who speak for
our Government the bene
fit of its considered judge
ment, as gained through
the experience which it has
had both at home and a
broad in dealing with ec
onomic adjustments.
