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. These people will not e d e forever th ick o arrogant white man who keeps boasting this ' rqwhite ma rld.' ineteenth century im- perialism must be eliminatei.

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 ' .

DE H JIJE... Spring has come again to Chicago, with bright sunlight to drive away the bleak clouds that have engulfed the city for months. And this gay foretaste of the weather to come has drawn me down to the lake shore. Being here recalls the good times the three of us shared just a few short months ago, before my brother died so far from home on that little Pacific island. Perhaps it is strange that I write of his death so calmly, but somehow here on this lonely strand he seems to live again as l hear his laughter of days gone by echoed and re-echoed on the incoming tide. l know that as long as the cause for which he gave his life continues to triumph, he will never truly die. And what a challenge the world offers to the youth that must keep that cause alive! You and millions of others like you are meeting a big part of that chal- lenge today on the world's battlefields. But a mightier foe is yet to be en- countered, a foe that lives as hatred in the hearts of the conquered. There will need to be a mental disarmament, as well as a military truce before there can be a real peace. The Four Horsemen have ridden over the world in the path of the conqueror, bringing bloodshed and famine and death. There has been such slaughter of men as the civilized world has never known before. Old people and little chil- dren go hungry and homeless, since the hands that would have toiled willingly for them have lost their strength. These are the beaten people with whom we must deal. But worse than the smoking ruins and broken bodies of defeated nations and people is the burning resentment that rankles within the hearts of proud men and women. They were misled by their own leaders, in whom they trusted: they were given promises which they now know were empty when they were made. They gave all they had to serve the country which they be- lieved was right and now find it was in vain. They have only their suffering to live with. The real tragedy of war is the tragedy of the human spirit. A battle- field can be turned to producing fruitful crops in a year or two. Ruined cities can be rebuilt. But how can we restore trust and love and faith and hope? To answer this question is the challenge to the youth of all victorious nations. And it must be answered now! Even now the pounding surf seems to be shouting a message to anyone who will listen. lt is a message of a new, clean, strong life that lies ahead of the world because men are fighting and dying and living to make it that way. Sincerely, lane. eeLOlS RAZEE.
