Discussions were carried on along various lines, with the thought generally turning toward world-wide cooperation for the avoidance of future wars. One speaker said "Clean up and better our own community and the rest will take care of itself." Another speaker brought out the thought that over-population in Japan, Italy and other nations helped bring on the last war, emphasizing the need for world-wide birth control. Many current world ailments such as poor social science instruction, and irresponsible leadership entered the discussion. "The world is bankrupt for world leadership," one speaker declared.
