lu. 'G7 ' . . EXECUTIVE BOARD 'PHE CHALLENGE Young America, are we ready to take our place in shaping the destiny of the world? Are we going to work and work hard for the promotion and maintenance of a lasting peace and security thereby given? The answer must be an emphatic yes! The success or failure of world peace depends upon us, all of us-but only if we carry out our share of the job! And it is our obligation now to free our minds of any prejudices or ill-will that we may have developed in order to be well- informed. mentally alert. thinking persons who can intelligently analyze the news, understand what is proposed, and be ready to voice changes which we think should be made. Now is the time to make ourselves cap- able of doing our best work for democ- racy. to understand that mere cpinions mean nothing ,that these beliefs without. basis when applied to the complex tield of world affairs could change the entire course of events. There is a difference be- tween mere opinion and sound conviction. The most violent opinions are often based on ignorance and prejudice. Sound con- victions are based on knowledge, straight reasoning. and analysis of the facts. Ig- norant people and some politicians have more violent opinions on public questions than professional men and economists who know far more about them. We should fully realize that to make things run smoothly we must have a strong sense of cooperation. If we would have co- operation in this chaotic world, we must put it into practice ourselves in our own country, our own town, and our own homes. How can we hope to sustain peace if, at every suggestion offered. unwarrant- ed and time consuming arguments arise over issues that, received with an unbi- ased, common-good-for-all attitude, would run the gauntlet of public opinion and governmental machinery without harmful delay. However, this doesn't mean that we should become lax and inactive. If we are convinced by opinions based on knowledge that changes should be made. let's go ahead and speak, but-trip lightly. It is said that history repeats itself. Let's throw that saying to the wind and show the world that this generation can really use their hearts. and minds. and voices in establishing that security which can only be had by willing coordinated service from everyone. In publications. movies. and over the radio we frequently hear or read that little phrase in the next war. Why
