Ylae KMIA or a Eetter World The war with all its terrors and anxieties is now behind us. Peace is being gradually restored. In some parts of the world there are still misgivings among the millions of people. Civil wars have followed the cessation of in- ternational militaiy hostilities. Production of food is still far short of the demands of the people. Of all the great countries, ours is the only one which has succeeded in converting to production for peace time needs without any major upheavals. But the war has taught us that we cannot live in isolation from the rest of the world. So long as there is a civil war in China or in any other part of the world our peace is not secure. In many sections the masses of the people are rebelling against the old order which deprived them of bread and brought only war to them. Instead, they want to establish some form of democracy similar to the one which we, in America, have enjoyed so long. lt is to our interest that we help them in their struggles. Indeed, this is a moral duty. And it is our duty to prepare ourselves, through serious attention to our educational opportunities, for the task of maintaining the four freedoms in our own country and for the job of helping other people to enjoy them, too. lt is especially important for us now to emphasize the fourth freedom, the freedom from want, so eloquently pronounced by our late president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. lt is peace and security that people all over the world are demanding. We must do everything in our power to see that some form of world organ- ization, like the United Nations, becomes effective in guaranteeing the freedoms and in removing the anxieties which make peaceful pursuits im- possible. YVONNE SHELBY-6Al El-otlael-hood B-rotherhood must be R-ooted firmly in the minds of the people. O-bliterate prejudice and discrimination. T-ear out by the roots H-atred and the constant fear of the falsely E-ducated Tyrants of all time. R-egain for the oppressed the H-opes of equality and freedom. O-nward we must all go together, O-vercoming and overpowering the saboteurs of peace. D-iligent we must be in our continual struggle to make all the peoples of the world free and eoual. Onlv then can we achieve the full meaning of the word, BROTHERHOOD. OLGA DUO ll
