Fqr,Tyears we have conscientiously endeavored to obtain peace by a negative process. Some persons arg u e t h a t o n l y through an armed force can peace'be secured. We have at last discovered •that forcing a child to be silent when it cries because of pain does not end }he trouble. The child may be quiet, but the 'Insidious pain continues, unchecked. We have tried to arrive at peace as did the old empire of China through A process of. isolation. China, built a wall high and thick to keep the enemy out, so we built walls about modern civilization to prevent bullets destroying us. These walls hare beeifi. costly both to erect and keep in order. Par1 ticul^riy the military wali which has cost some nations an annual sum great' er than Its national debt. Then arteconomic wall was constructed which; threatened to boycott any other nation which did not agree upon terms of international trade. Lastly, the Social or racial wall prevented the possibility of mutual interest and understanding. Gradually, these wa.lls are being torn down, and in pla«e W them the spirit of Ma desire to understand" prevails. When opce we understand a person of another race or nation, barriers seem removed, anil we have a basis for mutual agreement. If a Frenchman cannot $peak English, and Englishmen cannot speak French, how can they un derstand one another? A universal language expressed in ternis of good will is necessary if peace is to prevail. This universal language cannot be achieved by force of arms. Public opinion expressed in its demand • for peace is the sure way of achievement. Our ballot--an expression of public opinion--is • the most powerful weapon we have. Do we honestlywant peae'e? I>o we want it hadfe- enough to pay tiie price--not in terms of hloodslied, bin in tefms of "ttfking profits, out of;munitions"; in economic adjustments, and in overcoming national and racial jealousy? ...
