Though time has withered, and Tinged them with age, Beautiful memories still Dwell in each page. -IEAN MCALPINE Tumbling over my shoulder and onto the floor in patchwork patterns Lies Light. I am in its inner circle. Outside, ever vengeful, is darkness, Angry and jealous because I have its master As my slave. fMARY IEAN BUDZIK. AWAITING ME The millions of things I wish to know, The store of knowledge awaiting me, Are mine if l but wish to go, Where lie these hidden treasures, free. Free to those who do but long For the key to wisdom, noble prize, Whose every action can only make strong The desire to know where the source of it lies. A TRIBUTE He had never seen the sun come up So far away from home. He had never heard birds' songs so sweet, Since he left so long ago. He had never felt a peace So serene and so complete, As he did that day in a hospital bed, 'Mid gun-fire, hell and heat, For today was the day that our G. I. loe Was to take his final seat ln the promised land of glory, Where all our heroes meet. -MARIORIE YOUNG. TO IOE But I beg you to understand that loe Was not remorseful, nor sad with woe- For he had lived a hero's lifey Now it was over, all struggle and strife. I-Ie had found great courage and bliss supreme, Pound assurance far past his fondest dream. And now he was ready, yes, ready to go, On his last long mission without gunner, pilot or co- For this was a mission he only could trod, A mission between our Ioe and God. -ARDELE RAPP

B ILIJI l'i THE PE. IIE How can we build peace, peace that will be a dynamic and continuous process for the achievement of justice, progr s, security, and freedom on a world-wide scale? Many of the problems that cause war will keep recurring in one form or another and can never be fin gf solved. The processes of peace, however, can be built to meet these proble W with govqgnmen ' stead of mass physical combat. f ii' ' Peace depends upon attitudes,xThepe can bel,rfo perm t peace if the attitude of the white man is one of superiority to rds vel , brown, and black men.

Consent me ajorit it does not mean unanimity, as was inter- preted bythe old Leag of Nations, which only protected selfish interests and stopped the League from acting in the interest of the whole. Probably the most important single factor in maintaining a working peace is the surrendering by nations of some of their economic prerogatives. The causes of all our modern wars have been economic: jealousy of another nation's economic power or resources. The natural resources of the world must be shared and every country should have access to foreign markets. Give us no more Versailles treaties that silence guns but allow 'the struggle for raw materials and markets to go on. To maintain peace the nations must unite to establish a world government and surrender some of their powers to it. This world organization should con- sist of a world court, a world legislature, and an international police force. The decisions of the judges and laws of the legislatures would be based on principles of justice and new international law. There must not be one code for the strong and another for the weak. Nations must be brought before the bar of justice and made to answer for wrongs committed against others. A world police force would eliminate huge national armies and navies. The world organization will need jurisdiction to deal with social problems such as health, education and labor which are the foundation for peace. As Wendell Willkie stated, This is one wor1d. London, England is closer to New York today-because of the airplane-than it was to Newcastle, Eng- land, one-hundred years ago. Men of science share their findings with scien- tists round the world. Artists know that truth and beauty are universal. It becomes increasingly evident that we must create world governments, estab- lish law and order, and abolish international anarchy from the face of the earth. We must revise our fundamental ideas of sovereignty which heretofore have admitted no authority beyond the nation. We must develop world-minds, world-hearts, and world-wills. Only cooperation can bring about a united world. Unity through consent, not conquest nor interests of empire, is the way to obtain ordered living, security, and progress. The peoples of all nations, races, and creeds must submit their misunderstandings to government to insure justice and freedom for all. For many, many generations the peoples of the world must labor and learn and will to build the peace which shall be founded on scientific understandings of man and his natural resources-a dynamic peace of reason. -LEONARD GROTZ T s fe , o 1 f ' , - 11 d ' .
