And Now We Hove Peace The first peacetime Oracle in six years is going to press. Most of us have been attending collegiate during the war years, and we have often wondered what peace- time would be like. The education of many has been interrupted. Perhaps it has been tc their advantage: they have met new people, seen new places and thought of new things. Some have paid the supreme sacrifice: others are returning to take up where they left off. Still others of us have remained at school so that we might be trained to take our part in the planning of a peacetime world, which we knew would come. We've missed he Oracle the last three years - it, also, became a wartime casualty. ln another quarter-century those years in collegiate will only be hazy memories, but we have tried to produce for you a record of the faces and activities of those at W.C.l, in 1945-46. lt's been hard work, but We've had fun working together. We hope you like the result. Now we present to you our 1946 Oracle with a suggestion from the pen of Francis Bacon. Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested. -Editor Foundations For A Lasting Peace One of the most prominent topics in the newspapers and on the radio today is the question of a lasting peace, Almost every day of the week editorials are written and radio speeches are heard relating to this topic. This is not susprising, since the solu- tion of this problem is the key to the future of the world. lf we do not provide a solid foundation for peace now, we are sowing the seeds of world chaos later. The whole future of the world rests on this problem of today. How can we build a secure foundation for an enduring peace? As l make no claim to being a magician nor a medicine man with a panacea for the world's ills, I do not pro- pose to submit a simple solution for this vex- ing problem. It seems to be giving the ex- perts a little more trouble than they are able THE ORACLE to handle. What l shall try to do is give some idea of what is required to produce a lasting peace. The problem of whether or not we re- quire a world organization, such as a league of nations, has already been decided. I think that everyone feels it is one of the requisites for a lasting peace. We must be able to talk things over rationally. But in addition, we must have in our hands the power to en- force the peace, if it is necessary. A body such as a league of nations, combined with an international police force would give us just this protection. There is no doubt that the aggressor nations should be disarmed. They should not be given a chance to strike again while our backs are turned. I believe that one of the primary causes of war is man's need. ln Germany after the First World War the average German civil- ian led a far from attractive life. Cold and hungry, he felt that he had been cheated. Hitler was the solution to his problems. Hit- ler clothed and fed him. Hitler told him he was now better off that he had ever been be- fore. Der Fuhrer filled the disgruntled German with both food and propaganda. lt was the promise of new and better things that the Nazis used, to influence the German people as they desired. We have seen the sad out- come of it all. We must banish man's need as well as his fear. lf a man has all he needs, he is generally content. If he is happy, he does not usually think of war or conquest in order to secure more than his just share. In both Germany and lapan before l939 the people were kept in ignorance of the true facts about what went on in the outside world. These people must be re-educated and given a new sense of values in life. They must be taught to live at peace with one an- other and with the world. We are the only ones capable of teaching them and we must make a good job of it. Both social and moral reforms must be achieved. The key to the Iapanese sense of moral values lies in their religion - Shintoism. One would suppose at first that changing an entire nation's moral and religious outlook would be a gigantic, even an insuperable, undertaking. However, Fifteen
