He expressed doubt that the United States could, when faced with the actual problem, main tain a strictly isolationist policy and encounter, without participa tion, the eccnomic and moral is sues of a European conflict, which he thought probable in the near future, . In a University of Georgia In stitute of Public Affairs address, President Angell also scored Adolf Hitler’'s march into the® Rhine land, objecting particularly to the irresponsibility of the” German government in ignoring treaty ob ligations. “I cannot believe in the logic of strict - isolation,” President Angell said, “and I have not yet surren dered the hope that neighborliness, sanity and cooperation may be made to prevail.” . He classified the forces in the United States which were respon- sible for leading America away from a policy of cooperation into four groups: the pacifists, the anti-League of Nations group, the 20th century Washingtonites, or icolationists, and the extreme rat jonalists. President Angel] added that the recent neutraliity legislation was a historiec ¢hange of front. Adding a local touch, he said that the University of Georgia has Continued on Page Seven) Joseph C.
