' . PEACE POINT POPE PIUS XII If a better European settlement is to be reach- ed, there is one point in particular which should receive special attention: it is the real needs and the just demands of nations and populations, and of racial minorities. It may be that, in conse- quence of existing treaties incompatible with them, these demands are unable' to establish a strictly legal right. Even so, they deserve to be examined in a friendly spirit with a view to meeting them by peaceful methods, and even, where it appears necessary, by means of an equit- able and covenanted revision of the treaties them- selves. If the balance between nations is thus adjusted and the foundation of mutual confi- dence thus laid many incentives to violent action will be removed. The scale: of jusiice must be made to balance as between the small and the great nations: in other words, might does not make right . . . M Pope Pius XII. It is especially on our Catholic youth of to- day that our hopes rest for world improvement. During the course of school life, especially in high school, many occasions present themselves whereby students may exercise their judgment. Class and club elections, selection and nomina- tion of committees, chairmanships, holding office, helping to make classvdecisions are practical ex- amples of such opportunity. In all dealings with fellow-students the high school boy and girl must learn to be fair and square. While he is in his formative years of high school, he builds for himself the character which will be his for the future. If he has schooled himself to tolerance of race, color and creed, to regard the poor as well as the more fortunate, he will be tolerant in later life. The country can be no stronger than its citi- zens, nor will the church be stronger than its members. The world's difficulties have arisen be- cause of injustice and inequality. I It is the birthright of every American citizen, nay of every person, regardless of class or creed, to have equality of opportunity. Let us ask our- selves whether we are fair in our choices, or whether we allow ourselves to be guided by friendships, appearances or sentiment. We all have a weighty obligation to help restore peace and good will. Only when we respect the rights of others can we hope to contribute our share. c' cv ,X ed' Def. . as Q U3 PHYSICAL FITNESS ow THE WAV ' ..-lil 1 'mix I. If 'lr lil N-qi ff fflil-lhlllxt' I 'C
