Film Analysis Points to Need of Negotiation
Paul Anderson of the YMCA panel on a film analysis argues that a spiritual force is needed alongside intellect in remaking nations. Other panelists include David Neiswanger Roman Warmke and John Jones. The film A Time for Greatness, produced by the American Friends Service Committee, urges negotiation as a priority in American foreign policy. Anderson recalls Russia’s revolutionary era and warns the US must be a channel of creative spirit found in Genesis to negotiate with Russia. Neiswanger says impatience harms negotiation and calls for constructive aid beyond arms. Warmke advocates education through the Students' Project for Amity among Nations and informing American communities about lessons learned. Jones notes some things are worth fighting for and that arming can be for peace as well as defense. Anderson speaks again to Rotary and the Austin Exchange Club and will lead a YMCA world service conference at the Presbyterian Church.
