PEACE IS A PROCESS The roar of the guns in World War II has ceased. The defeat of the enemy was so complete that millions of our boys have returned to their homes. Boys who were Seniors here only a few months ago meet us on the street wearing Pacific, Mediterranean, and Euro¬ pean campaign ribbons. War has transformed them into bronzed and hardened veterans. They have done their job well; they have won the war. They and the whole world now look to us to win the Peace. That the silence of the guns did not bring Peace should not be disappointing to anyone. The guns have been silent before, but Peace did not come. What we must all understand and accept is that Peace is a process. It is an attitude of mind and spirit which leads us ultimately to accept every man as our brother and to accord him every right and privilege which we claim for ourselves. If we lose this as a goal, we lose the Peace. If we grow faint hearted now, the War Lords will again assume control. Civilization is at the crossroads.
