PEACE POINT POPE PIUS XII The maxims of human wisdom require that in any reorganization of international life all parties should learn a lesson from the failures and de- ficiencies of the past. Hence in creating or re- constructing international institutions which have so high a mission and such difficult and grave responsibilities, it is important to bear in mind the experience gained from the ineffective- ness or imperfections of previous institutions of the kind. Human frailty renders it difficult, not to say impossible, to foresee every contingency and guard against every danger at the moment in which treaties are signed, passion and bitter feeling are apt to be still rife. Hence in order that a peace may be honorably accepted and in order to avoid arbitrary breaches and unilateral inter- pretations of treaties, it is of the first importance to erect some juridical institution which shall guarantee the loyal and faithful fulfillment of the conditions agreed upon, and which shall, in case of recognired need, revise and correct them. Christian ethics is the final and absolute criterion by which the peace-makers must judge the conclu- sions at which they themselves arrive. If these con- clusions harmonize with morality, they will stand. If they offend against morality, they must be discarded, under penalty of wrecking everything they have at- tempted to do . . . Pope Pius XII. r P I fill f . Each class of the school may be likened to a country in the world, which has equal rights whether large or small and the people rich or poor. Within the classes, meetings are convoked to take care of class business, projects or problems which may arise. At these class councils, as should be in all countries, every member may voice his opinion freely regardless of rank, color or na- tionality. Everyone is entitled to justice. In order that the class officers who conduct these meetings be guided by wisdom from above and that God direct their efforts, all meetings are opened with prayer. Each teacher remains with her class during these give and take assemblies to advise and help her charges make important decisions when necessary. If the delegates to the international organiza- tion to be established after the war be not guided by wisdom from God, nor have God's blessing on their work, all the sacrifices in lives and trea- sure are for naught. To establish a just and last- ing world peace is a task beyond human en- deavor. Christ must be present at the peace table, the moral law must be the absolute criterion. The Holy Father, too, should have a voice. Let our peacemakers accept the Holy Father's Peace Points. They have been drawn up by Christ's own Vicar and are God-inspired. We shall win the peace only if the blessing of God be upon the work. He MUST be there! U1 Tl-IEY STILL FCDLLCDW
