U.S. Businessmen Hold Key to Peace—Pettengill
by Jim Longcrier
In a sudden switch of tactics, the Council on Atomic Implications yesterday was presented with a new method of achieving world peace through cooperation with the Russian people.
Realizing that attempts to secure world peace through popular action could not succeed, Dr. Robert B. Pettengill, faculty adviser to the CAI. urged that the problem be placed partly in the hands of American businessmen who have had previous success in dealing with the Russians.
PEACE HOPE
Dr. Pettengill told the group that the best way America can be assured of world peace is for American businessmen to take up the job where military generals have failed.
Referring to men like Donald Nelson. Joseph Davies, and others who had such conspicuous success in “bringing home the bacon” before the war. Dr. Pettengill called upon these same men to resume' their contacts with the Russian people
and reopen the world markets which have been lost since the war.
“By reopening these markets, and letting the Russians know that America is not gctng into a recession. which they are waiting for us to do so they can take over this country as they have done others, let us do ourselves good and the Russians good at the same time by j selling to them the goods they so badly need.” Dr. Pettengill said.
“The job that was done by Amer-j ican businessmen before the war proves ti at they know more about how to secure world peace than the ; men we are now trusting with that job.
HOT AIR'
Nelson’s record in Russia speaks for itself, but what did Marshall bring home besides the bag which he was left holding? Despite the fact that he filled tbe bag with hot air to look like he had accomplished something, he accomplished nothing, in reality,” Dr. Pettengill asserted.
The director of the Institute of Economics continued with a plea
for lower world tariffs, and stressed j that we have to give the Russians j something to get something.
“Why haven't the Russians come into the world bank or the tariff conference now going on in Geneva? Because they have once again come up against the adage of getting nothing for something.”
RUSSIA’S REASONS
Continuing, Dr. Pettengill said that was the reason the Russians have not agreed to world control of the atomic bomb. America offered to give the Russians the secret of producing fissionable materials, in return for which they would submit to strict inspection by international authorities to prevent atom-bomb manufacture.
“It's the same story of getting nothing for something. The Russians have, or will have, the so-called secret within a short while, but if we were asked to submit to international search parties of our military installations, would we submit to it? Of course not,” Dr. Pet-tengiU concluded.

’ SAN FRANCISCO, May 20-Henry A. Wallace chared today that America and Russia alike, as well as other nations, have sabotaged the late President Roosevelt’s ideal of a united world and turned back to power politics.
“The time has come to retrace our steps.” Wallace said, “back to San Francisco and the hopes that were held out here for one world.”
The former cabinet member and vice president, now on a nationwide campaign opposing the “Truman Doctrine.” spoke in the War Memorial opera nouse where little more than two years ago the United Nations was born.
