TE Epsom and Area News by Jean Jeffery PART =" OF 26 To the Peoples of the World A BAHA'I STATEMENT ON Peace CONCERNING the proceedings for this world gathering, 'Abdu'l-Baha, the son of Baha'u'llah and authoriz- ed interpreter of his teachings, of- fered these insights: "They must make the Cause of Peace the ob- ject of general consultation, and seek by every means in their power to establish a Union of the nations of the world. They must conclude a binding treaty and establish a covenant, the provisions of which shall be sound, inviolable and definite. They must proclaim it to all the world and obtain for it the sanction of all the human race. This supreme and noble undertaking -- the real source of the peace and well-being of all the world -- should be regarded as sacred by all that dwell on earth. All the forces of humanity must be mobiliz- ed to ensure the stability and per- manence of this Most Great Cove- nant. In this all-embracing Pact the limits and frontiers of each and every nation should be clearly fix- ed, the principles underlying the relations of governments towards one another definitely laid down, and all international agreements and obligations ascertained. In like manner, the size of the armaments of every government should be strictly limited, for if the prepara- tions for war and the military forces of any nation should be allowed to increase, they will arouse the suspi- cion of othérs. The fundamental principle underlying this solemn Pact should be so fixed that if any government later violate any one of its provisions, all the governments on earth should arise to reduce it to utter submission, nay the human race as a whole should resolve, with every power at its disposal, to destroy that government. Should this greatest of all remedies be ap- plied to the sick body of the world, it will assuredly recover from its ills and will remain eternally safe and secure." : For a free copy of the complete statement "TO THE PEOPLES OF THE WORLD" or information about the Baha'i Faith and local activities, please write or call: BAHA'IS of SCUGOG P.O.
