PEACE IS JOB FOR ALL, SAYS DR. BEEBY
It was nat-ural for the mah in the street to imagi-ne that, in the. business of 3maMhg peate, there was little ffor him to do, said th'e' Director of Education-, Dr, -C . E. Beeby, in a United Natictos a'dclress on Sunday night. -We tend to think of peace ars a: passive state, aocompllshed independently of the Ind-ivMual/' he' said. "-When the nation Is waging, war We knoW We 'ade needed; when! it is making peace we reel that; the whole thing 4s going on in some. pbiitical stratosphere beyond' our reach, we feel ourselves to be spectators and hbt players anyi more." This was an entirely false concept of peace, said Ur. Beeby. New/ as never before, the preservation of peace depended on the common people of the vgorld. I believe one; of the first duties pf every mani and wonian is to try to understahd'
United Nations, to understand the attitudes of mind of the countries that make it Up, and to do his best to Sde that Uveryone else un'derstands, too. More understanding between peoples will not of itSelf briUg peace; but lasting peace Will never come -without understanding. If we can do nothing else, yOU and I nan at least try . to understand.
