Suppose we put ourselves with the power of our imagination in the United Nations Building and look out the window at this page. The hopes of millions of men for peace in the world are symbolized by this building, and yet looking out the window directly below us we see placards and faces stamped with the hatred of their memories. Looking beyond the boundaries of our own country we see rioting in Ecuador, war in the Congo, war in Laos. Have we put our hopes for peace in the hands of an illusion which we know as the United Nations? Let us look at the facts. The military authority, the U.N. Police Force, is too weak to impose peace on the world by force. But this is not the real tragedy. Composed of nations which are nurtured by conflicting ideologies no one moral code can be universally recognized. Thomas Aquinas, Luther and Kirkegaarde are not com- patible with Karl Marx and Lenin, not to mention the ethical systems of the Far East. ln the place of moral law there has been substituted 'enlightened self-interest' and world moral opinion to fill the void. The result has not been too happy. Should we scrap the United Nations? No! lt is man's only hope for world order and peace, but the U.N. needs help. Let us rally to its aid the great spiritual and religious forces of mankind so sorely needed to supply the moral authority without which it is doomed.
