YEAR BOOK, 1957 Pac e 15 to bring his ideals to others even if force, destruction and war were necessary. The awful result of this extreme patriotism was seen in the terrible holocaust of World War II. Hitler ' s patriotism took that easy step to nationalism. Let me now answer the questions which I first posed. Is patriotism necessary in the growth and survival of a nation or is it an instrument towards destruction ? For the growth of a nation there must be a feeling of patriotism among its builders. For survival, once the nation is built, there is a need for love of one ' s country ; but eventually that love becomes too strong and leads the country to nationalism and its inevitable conse- quence, war. Destruction follows. What is patriotism? It is a sense of pride in the minds of men which prompts them to fight for their country and to support its ideals. However, consider this, if there were no patriots there would be no war. We mmst, in the face of the destruction brought on by misguided patriotism and consequent wars, conclude that this nationalism must become internationalism. Man learned the lesson of intercommunal life many centuries ago when he merged to form the village, but, as yet, he has not learned how to live peaceably in the larger international community. Until such time, patriotism can only lead to disaster. When and if this lesson is learned, there will be no need for love of one ' s country because, at that time, humanity will share a common love for the entire army of civilization. The world will be as God intended, a whole.
