An enduring peace requires the organization of PREAMBLE AND A STATEMENT ON A JUST PEACE WE present for the consideration of all men of good will the following postulates of a just peace as embodying the principles of the moral law and their prime applications to world problems of our day. To our mind they express the minimum requirements of a peace which Christians can endorse as fair to all men. They are the foundation on which Catholics in a free world can work from deep motives of Christian justice and charity for the buihling of a better social order. 5. International Institutions to Maintain Peace with lustice Must Be Organized. I. The Moral Law Must Govern World Society. The organization of a just peace depends upon ractical reco ition of the fact that not only P sn individuals but nations, states and international society are subject to the sovereignty of God and to the moral law which comes from God. 2. The Rights of the Individual Must Be Assured. The dignity of the human person as the image of God must be set forth in all its essential im- plications in an intemational declaration of rights, and be vindicated by the positive action of national governments and intemational or- ganization. States as well as individuals must repudiate racial, religious or other discrimina- tion in violation of those rights. 3. The Rights of Oppressed, Weak or Colonial Peoples Must Be Protected. The rights of all peoples, large and small, sub- ject to the good of the organized world commu- nity, must be safeguarded within the frame- work of collective security. The progress of undeveloped, colonial, or oppressed peoples to- ward political responsibility must be the object of intemational concem. 4. The Rights ot Minorities Must Be Secured. National governments and international organ- ization must respect and guarantee the rights of ethnic, religious and cultural minorities to economic livelihood, to equal opportunity for educational and cultural development, and to political equality. international institutions which will: al develop a body of intemational law: bl guarantee the faithful fulfilment of international obligations, and revise them when necessary: cl assure col- lective security by drastic limitation and con- tinuing control of armaments, compulsory arbi- tration and adjudication of controversies, and the use when necessary of adequate sanctions to enforce the law. 6. International Economic Cooperation Must Be Developed. International economic collaboration to assist all states to pmvide an adequate standard of living for their citizens must replace the present economic monopoly and exploitation of natural resources by privileged groups and states. 7. A just Social Order Within Each State Must Be Achieved. Since the harmony and well being of the world community are intimately bound up with the intemal equilibrium and social order of the in- dividual states, steps must be taken to pro- vide for the security of the family, the collab- oration of all groups and classes in the interest of the common good, a standard of living ade- quate for self-development and family life, decent conditions of work, and participation by labor in decisions affecting its welfare.

C. . . .Theme of Bnnls. . . EDUCATION FOR PEACE has been chosen by the Editors as the theme of the Coyle Review for 1944. ln the seven points for peace drawn by the Churchmen of America, we see a re-emphasis of the enlightened bravery of Christian Humanism. There must be reconstruction based on Christian social justice. This reconstruction must place particular emphasis on the Christian democratic ideal of the dignity and freedom of man created in the image and likeness of God and endowed by God with inalienable rights. Where better can these seven points be stressed than in the school since these points are the fruit of Christian training? The school, the instrument of the Church, moulds the man of tomorrow, and it is in the school that the young mind will be inspired with the ideal that the unity of men in Christ is the perfect solution of our problems, the true EDUCATION FOR PEACE.
