A SENIOR LOOKS AT THE FUTURE To the senior graduating into a world at war is presented a unique view. For one thing, there is the peace to come, carrying with it the hope for a part in world reconstruction. But more important he has studied the theories and prin- ciples of life at a time when the facts of the situation render many of these prin- ciples inapplicable. This compels a view of realism — the recognition that the men and nations of the world have not attached a true civilization — except, perhaps, in the material sense. The history of the world is studded with wars, depressions, periods of economic prosperity — with the rise and fall of states, races and institutions. The historian has presented the picture in terms of personalities of great men. Such is not a true record of the humanity. Our present status was reached by the sacrifices of the individual as an indispensable part of the organ of society, and so it is today, that this world of men is more economically, socially, intellectually, and spiritually compatible than ever before. Yet the cruel fact is, we are engaged in another movement of mass murder on an international scale. Moreover there seems very little chance of avoiding another world war in the near future — probably within the next thirty years. The present struggle is the price we pay for the short sighted policies of the older generation in a commercially organized world. We do not resent those mistakes, but they do serve to show us that the next generation — if war demands its life — will be bearing our sins. One inevitably asks, Is there any way to stop wars. Those who have faith in God, and the infinite capabilities of man can only answer such a question in the affirmative. With the affairs of nations controlled by the desire to advance selfish interest, the problem is extremely difficult. No one man can present a program suitable to all, but every one can hope and maintain his or her faith. The key word to the solution is cooperation. But nations cooperate in their selfish efforts only when the desired objective makes other courses impossible. An attempt to change the very nature of man would probably be futile, or more cor- rectly, at least, a long process over a longer period of time. But one can admit of the selfishness of man and still hope for peace — offer a sort of substitute for war — prepare an effective but peaceful channel through which nations could carry on their struggle for wealth. Construct a system somewhat similar to the court systems of our nation, and the states of the world stand by prepared to enforce this method of reconciling conflicting interests, and to enforce the decision. Following World War II the United States will occupy the position of the worlds most powerful state. Financially, industrially and commercially we are to be the center and heart of the world. With this prestige and power we carry a correllating responsibility. America must throw her massive strength and rugged common sense into the peace effort — realize that peace is a progression, a living growing, functioning thing and that war comes only when peace breaks down. Upon principle the United States must stand ready to fight for peace.
