r V b L -R U PEACE POINT POPE PIUS XII II The order thus established, if it is to continue undisturbed and ensure true peace, requires that the nations be delivered from the slavery im- posed upon them by the race for armaments and from the danger that material force, in- stead of serving to protect the right, may become an overbearing and tyrannical master. Any peaceful settlement which fails to give funda- mental importance to a mutually agreed, organic and progressive disarmament, spiritual as well as material, or which neglects to ensure the ef- fective and loyal implementing of such an agree- ment, will sooner or later show itself to be lack- ing in coherence and vitality. If ever there were an aim worthy of the concourse of noble, generous spirits, if ever there arose a spiritual crusade which with new truth sounded theicry, 'God wills it,' it is truly that high aim and this crusade--to lead peoples back from the muddy gulf of material and selfish interest. to the living fountain of Divine Law, which alone is powerful and gives that morality, nobility and stability of which a lack has been felt far too long, and which is gravely needed to repair the damage done to most nations, to humanity and to those ideals which are at the same time the real ends of peace based on justice and love . . . ',Pope Pius XII. i 1 1 pf l lg l l 'P l l 4 .v V ,ik D l QOVJLEDG 'S POA, O Q so 4 r Nl LD Disarmament can take place only in a world in which all nations accept the rules of inter- national law and agree to the settlement of in- ternational disputes by urneans of purely moral and persuasive measures. The world will en- joy the longed for peace and order only if it accepts the supreme authority of the Creator as a basis of all individual and collective morale. If mankind goes back to the observance of the Ten Commandments, which mea.n the same today as they did when Moses received them, there will be less greed, less jealousy of Nation against Nationg there will be honesty and jus- tice. The difliculties of Nations would be solved if rulers and peoples would return to faithful observance of the Divine Law. As the Catholic graduate of '45 emerges from his school to take his place in the world, it is his duty to contribute toward a lasting peace. He must disarm himself of his moral deficiencies and beware of accepting the double standard of the world. To perform his task well he must engage in disarmament of prejudice, bigotry, narrow- mindedness and selfishness. Only in this way can he grasp a firm hold on real living. By disarming himself of undesirable habits and observing the Ten Commandments con- scientiously, our Catholic graduate can do much, not only now, but in the future, toward world PEACE. , ag THEY ARIQIVE AT THEIR DESTINATION
