6 FLAMSTEAD CHALLENGE EDITCDRIALS CAN THERE BE WORLD PEACE? Barbara Jeffrey The most important and talked-of question in the world today is: Can there be world peace? Of course all of us like to fool ourselves and say, Of course there can beg there has to be. I do not like to take the pessimistic side of the question, but look at it this way: Nations are still arguing over trivial little matters like boundary lines, neigh- bors are still not speaking to each other, families are still having their little dis- putes over such matters as wills and so on, children are still fighting with each other over a toy or a piece of candy. 4 There is still race prejudice in the world today-more, I'l1 venture to say, in the United States than in any other country in the world. There is more greed, craft and cut-throat competition. I do not say competition is not good, it is, for it keeps a producer on his toes trying to make better products than his competitors, but when competition gets so that one company will use unlawful means in order to Put its product across as best, then competition ceases to do its good work and becomes dangerous. I say that if neighbors in one small town cannot live together in peace and harmony, if families cannot live together, if races cannot live together in one coun- try, how can there be peace in the world? We of the graduating class, of every graduating class, have a job to do-a job that will take us one step at least toward world peace. We must not let our- selves speak falsely against our neighbors, our families, our friends. We must be tolerant to all people, youngiand old, black or white, rich or poor, we must be forgiving and forgetting. , We have a long, hard job to do, but the way that leads to good things is not easy. Many -times we will want to turn back, some of us will, but still others must go plodding on until at last our goal is reached. Then when families can live together, races, and countries, in harmony, then and only then can world peace be achieved. I think it is. a goal worth striving for.
