orewmed After the battles of this war are won, the task which lies before us-to conquer new horizons-is one of the most challenging which has ever faced any generation. Besides solving the personal problems of our own lives, we will take part in a larger undertaking: So to organize relations among nations that forces of barbarism can never again break loosef, We cannot know what paths our lives will take, or what the future will be. We can only hope that we have gained some knowledge of the part we are to play for the world in which we are to live after the fighting ceases. We must make it a world in which all peoples may live under the kind of government they consider best, without fear of conquest, without fear of economic insecurity. We must help uphold the universal ideals, the uunalienable rights,', the freedoms of democracy. The task of the present is to strive for complete victory of our armies and our ideals, but the task of the future is to build a secure, humane, and tolerant civilization.

For I dipped into the future, far as human eye could see, Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would he, Saw the heavens fill with commerce, argosies of magic sails, Pilots of the purple twilight, dropping down with costly bales, Heard the heavens jill with shouting, and there rained a ghastly dew From the nations' airy nauies grappling in the central hlue, Far along the world-wide whisper of the south wind rushing warm, With the standards of the peoples plunging through the thunderstorm 5 Till the war drum throhhed no longer, and the hattle flags were furled In the Parliament of man, the Federation of the world. There the common sense of most shall hold a fretful realm in awe, And the kindly earth shall slumher, lapped in universal law. ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON Locksley Hall

edication To the conquest of new horizons on the earth, in the cold, austere nothingness of inter- stellar space, and in the mind of man- And to the youth of today, who tomorrow will erase the Word uunexploredn from the map of the universe, and write in its place, There have I ventured, and I feared not.
