From +he lessons of hislory have come +he beliefs, efhical principles and sfandards for law. For 'lhis declarafio-n, if implemenied by law by 'rhe various sovereign nafions, would give +o so many, 'ihe equal civil liber+ies enjoyed by so few. Mosl impor+an'r, il' is concerned wi+h 'rhe proiecfion and securify of ihe 'Family as a social unii. Since ihe fuiure of our civilizafion depends upon fhe well being of fhe fam- ily as a fundamenfal unil' of socieiy, +he family musl' be assured of 1'he saiisfaciion of cerfain basic needs: The righl' +o worlc. The righ+1'o an educaiion. The righl' fo religious freedom. The righl' +o live free from oppression and a'Haclc. H' is imperaiive 'rhal' fhe realizaiion of 'lhese hu- man ideals benefii' all manlcind. Man's dream of a beH'er world will become a realily when he under- sfands +he 'I'rue meaning of +he broiherhood of man, -fhal' he is more like fhan unlike his neighbor. Perhaps 'fhis idea mighi beH'er be expressed in fhe words of Carl Sandburg, who said, There is only one man in +he world, and his name is All Men. There is only one woman in ihe world, and her name is All Women. There is only one child in fhe world, and +he child's name is All Children. ROCHELLE KATZ
