we Qfinctpaf 308046 THE PRICE or PEACE PEACE is an id-eal never yet fully attained by any man or any nationg nor will it be attained ever by the world-fully. Peace as mankind knows it is a compromise, a whole series or even a sys- tem of compromises. In a world of conliicting in- terests and ambitions, in a world in which nations grow, peace must be elastic. Any peace designed primarily to preserve the status quo bears too close a resemblance to the peace of death to be of use to a living world. Peace is indivisible. If it is broken anywhere, it is likely to break everywh-ere. We can no longer speak-as we tried to just a few years ago-of localizing a war. The peace of China and of Ethopia is our peace, too. The world has become one, the instruments of peace and the weapons of war both have made it one-physically. Mankind, longing for peace, must make it one in spirit. What does one pay for peace? This most precious of all commodities can be purchased with one mintage only--life. And it is not purchased on the- field of battle, we buy there merely the hope of peace. Nor is it to be bought at the conference table when war endsg there we take on the responsibility to make peace effective. No more than that. But we buy peace in our daily lives with our lives-the lives of the living, not the dead-all our lives long. And, when we die, those who come after us must continue to pay this price if peace is to continue. Peace mast be waged as sternly and zmrelerntingly as war is waged. For peace is dynamic, vital, not a mere negation-the absence of war. Having paid in blood and sweat and tears for the hope of peace, and having added to that such vast material wealth, we must still stand ready to pay in work and worry, in sacrifice and selflessness the further exactions demanded of us. And the price will not be too high. Day by day, aware of our own interests, firm in our faith in de- mocracy, loyal to our own ideals, yet never blind to the interests and faith and ideals of other peoples, we must be patient, resolute, just-and, as we have always been, a peace-loving people. And we must be awake-as we have not always been. EDGAR J. MONGAN Page 5 'll
