to be celebra ted and then forgotten overnight abdui aiiukbiifarccliritmai jj most forums agree un offers only hope for peace in world from the very beginning of its existence the united nations has recognlxod that hunger nnd pov erty are lailc cause of war through its economic and social council and specialized agencies the xj n is making a special effort to help the underdeveloped coun tries of the world improve their agricultural methods and economic conditions help is given in many ways do you think that the united nations offers hope for world peace this was the first question form forum members discussed af ter listening to the weekly broad cast it wds agreed by 00 per cent that the united nations did offer to n certain extent the only hope for pence in the world butjintll all the nations become really united mem- uers cannot see how they can suc ceed in gaining world peace one member only stated in his opinion united nations is not able to pre vent war which threatens av any time the second question was how can we ns canadian citizens help bring peace to the world answers stated as canadian citiz ens we should help feed the hungry people this would help eliminate disoase nnd bring contentment it would help bring peace a step near er we waste what they would be glad of all canadas surplus could surely be used as barter between these nations also by furthering the assistance of the colombo plan and giving more assistance to needy countries we as canadians can help bring peace to the world by training our selves nnd our youth to live co-op- erateively with themselves nnd those of other countries helping one another by distribution of food we should send more instructors to some countries to show a belter way of agriculture so they can pro duce more for themselves and talk pence in placo of war and by an effort try to stamp out commun ism and by faith in the power of prayer try to remove discord among nations th third q on was som e people think worttl government will be necessary before lasting pence is assured whnt do you think some agreed a world gov ernment growing out of the nations united organisation could achieve world peace but we could see no possibility of organizing ouch a government in the present world conditions it would not be possible becnuse all nations should belong and only h nre in the united nations one forum stated world government j would give smaller countries equal voice nnd spread the resources where needed urtrh4s a purrfeet christmas dny to you and many many joyful and morry days ahoad those nro the
