Latest survey by the American Institute of Pub- lic Opinion shows that 57 per cent. of those who answered believe the United States will be drawn in if war starts in Europe.

In this new survey the Institute put three ques- tions:

44 per cent.

56 per cent.

If there is such a war do you belleve the United States will be drawn in?

Yes No
