Special guest of the evening will be Mrs. Adeline Geo-K^ris Lambros.

"The Liberal Papers," a compilation of foreign policy ideas, will be reviewed by Mrs. Lambros. The book, edited by James Roosevelt, has been the subject of criticism by those who denounce it as a "blueprint of appeasement and eventual surrender of the United States to the Soviet Union."
