PAUL C. BUNN . , K . Siigicrmteiidcrit oi ecncoll C x lr K tschcne Stutliu The Challenge to Youth When this War is over, the battles for peace will begin. If we are wise, we shall plan now the fight for a just and an enduring peace. XVhen our boys entered World War I, they were told that they were to engage in a war to end wars and to malce the world safe for democracy. How empty those slogans sound today! We won the First World War, but we lost the peace. How can we avoid a repetition of that tragedy and malce impossible a third world conflict? We cannot have a lasting peace merely by wishing for it. The fight for peace cannot be won by enslaving our enemies. A peace based on hatred and revenge cannot endure. Justice demands that the crim- inals who were responsible for starting this war must be punished, but we shall not bring about permanent peace by attempting to exterminate the conquered peoples. What then can we do? High school students will not have a place at the peace table but they can prepare them- selves to do their part in defending, preserving, and promoting those American ideals of liberty and justice which will insure a lasting peace in the world. The American high school youth of today should be, and can be, the leaders of the world tomorrow if they will prove themselves,worthy of that leadership. Be ready to meet the challenge! ' I Page Seven
