Since the masses of the people are inconstant, full of unruly desires, passionate, and reckless of consequence, they must be fillea' with fears to keep them in order. O-OPERATION, either domestic or international, can not be achieved on a basis of fear. An Inquisition or a Gestapo can preserve order, but history has shown that the order thus maintained is. in itself false and superficial. Beneath the surface the people remain uinconstant, full of unruly desires, passionate, and reckless of consequencev, and sooner or later they rebel, and the horrors of bloodshed and mutiny are unleashed. So too, in international affairs, fear breeds mistrust, which leads to hostility and war. A nation controlling several thousand atomic bombs is feared, and for a short time peace can be upheld because one nation has the whip-hand, but what happens when other nations also learn the deadly secret? Fear grows, more bombs are produced, then more fear gives rise to its natural by-product, hatred-for what you fear you hate-and eventual- ly the world is launched on a war of an entirely new and brutal kind. And what of the young people? The high-school student of today will pay the price for the fear created by the older generation. If the seeds are sown now, we are the cannon fodder of the atomic war. Trust must be instilled rather than fear. Not only must we learn to see the view-point of the other man for nationjg we must learn to accept it as being fully as correct and reasonable as our own. The history books of today are outmoded. With each nation teaching its own nationalistic sentiments, how can internationalisrn be achieved? Every month brings news of the failure of another conference. Demands are made and refused, requests and proposals are rejected, nation versus nation, labour versus management-discouragement for a true peace grows, and the cynics sneer at the foibles of men. Why? Because of fear-fear of growing power, fear for the so-called ulife-linesw of empire, fear of com- munism, fear of capitalism. Has no one a fear of hideous war? lf, indeed, there is a danger from the unruly desires of the masses, it is because of fear, and fear as a measure of control is worthless. Trust, not fear, will bring the eternal peace. -J. HARRISON 12
