WHY CANADA NEEDS A PEACE RESEARCH INSTITUTE, “After the end of the World War of 1914, there was a deep conviction and almost universal hope that peace would reign in the world. This heart’s desire of all the peoples could easily have been gained by steadfastness in righteous conviction and by reasonable common sense and prudence.” —Winston Churchill. So spoke Britain’s great statesman and orator. Yet, we have heard our parents speak of the bloody horrors of a second World War and we ourselves are on the brink of a third still more catastrophic cal¬ amity. That is why Canada needs a Peace Research Institute. We are tired of bloodshed and greed. Peace is a happy, natural state of man, a state of friendli¬ ness not of strife. War has brought nothing but suf¬ fering, sorrow and destruction; its effect has become more terrible with the advance of civilization and with increase of population and with economic inter¬ dependence of nations. If we turn on the radio, if we watch a televized broadcast, if we scan our daily newspaper, what do we hear, see and read? All about the wonders of research, but to what end? War. With so much research aiming at more efficient weapons of destruction, our world is heading for mass suicide. Is it not possible to use science in the search for peace? Yes, and the Peace Research Institute of Canada aims at doing just that. The founder of the Canadian Peace Research Institute, Dr. Norman Z. Alcock, defines the aim of his Institute as “Creating a world at peace before we are enveloped in thermonuclear war.” The Insti¬ tute has been created for the purpose of prompting research into the cause of war. Its work is not ham¬ pered by affiliation with any party, and it is not a money making venture. It deserves the public’s recog¬ nition and co-operation Canada with its strategic position, situated as it is between two great powers, Russia and the United States, is undoubtedly the most logical place in which to inaugurate such a programme. Because of its lack of capital to undergo costly creations of nuclear weapons and ammunition, Canada could place 1 :r resources and her efforts at the disposal of an org£ i- ization of the “chosen few” who can turn their c 1- lective research apparatus on problems such as t ie cause of war, disarmament, and social inventic is needed for a warless world. Winston Churchill once described Canada as a linch-pin between Britain and the United States. Si e has not always been such, but she might be in promt ing peace if the Canadian Research Institute we e given a chance to prove itself on Canadian soil. Canada can never hope to, nor does she want o lead the world in manpower, technical power or po i- tical power, but she could lead the world in this ne v field of peace research. Surely some university cou d be found to sponsor such an ideal of peace. Sure y the Canadian people would be willing to sacrifice a small percentage of their income to the worthy cause of averting war which, in itself, is such an economic burden to mankind and so expensive to each individual. Would not the results achieved by international teams of scientists working on technical and social problems be fitting recompense for such sacrifice? I am convinced it would be. Since we are living in such an anxious world, moving in the shadows of nuclear warfare, it behooves us, as peace-loving Canadians, to muster the requisite determination to uphold the Canadian Peace Re¬ search Institute which is dedicated to eradicating the social disease of war by means of science and reason.

ter satires against the prejudices and superstitions of his own people. With a few exceptions even they show his essential humanism. Even his patriotic poems are imbued with a feeling for all humanity. Tagore’s poetry, in a word, is an amalgam of the rich classical heritage of ancient India, the spacious ways of the medieval India, the simple varieties of the life of common people, and the restless energy and intellectual vigour of modern Europe. He is an inheritor of all times and all cultures. I shall conclude this article with three poems of Rabindranath Tagore: LEAVE THY CHANTING AND SINGING OF SONGS Open thine eyes and see thy God is not before thee. He is there where the tiller is tilling the hard ground and where the pathmaker is breaking stones. He is with them in sun and in shower, and His gar¬ ment is covered with dust. Put off thy holy mantle and even like Him come down on the dusty soil. Deliverance? Where is deliverance to be found? Our Master Himself has joyfully taken upon Him the bonds of Creation; He is bound with us all forever. Come out of thy meditations and leave aside thy flowers and incense. What harm is there if thy clothes become tattered and stained? Meet Him and stand by Him in toil and in sweat of thy brow. When it was day they came into my house and said, “We shall only take the smallest room here.” They said, “We shall help you in the worship of your God and humbly accept only our own share of His grace,” and then they took their seat in a corner and they sat quiet and meek. But in the darkness of night I find they break into my sacred shrine, strong and turbulent, and snatch with unholy hands the offerings from God’s altar. Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up into frag¬ ments by narrow domestic walls; Where words come out from the depth of truth; Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection; Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way in the dreary desert sand of dead habit; Where the mind is led forward by Thee into ever- widening thought and action Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake. (Mrs.) Subhadra Bakshi, Class A. BRONCO BUSTING The saddle is tight, My spurs just right, He’s tense as I grab the horn; I spring a bit Now in the saddle I sit— To him this is really foreign. He looks left,—right, I’m not in sight, “Oh, there you are up there; Well, hold it a bit, And I’ll work up a fit Then send you out there somewhere.” He may give you a chance And start with a prance, But then he feels your weight; He makes up his mind To leave you behind By doing a figure eight. I’m right in time When he spins on a dime, Then throws himself up high; He comes down with a jolt As stiff as a bolt Then his feet go up in the sky. But I stick tight —the end is in sight, I’ll soon be his master to reck. Soon he will stand, And flinch at my hand As I wipe the foam from his neck. I step down from above, Then pull off a glove And rub down his glossy frame; I roll a smoke Then his mane I stroke, And think of the next to tame. Bev Chisan, Class C. 79
