TOPICS OF THE DAY
Peace Hunger “I believe the vast majority of mankind hate the harsh and cruel conditions under which they live,” says Dr. Herbert Gray in his volume, “Love, The One Solution.” “Freed from financial and economic pressure, they tend always to create clubs and associations of all sorts, within which goodwill finds scope. Already they stretch out hands of welcome across national frontiers, and show that they long for international goodwill. Racial barriers are already threatened, and cannot possibly maintain themselves indefinitely against the instinct of kindness. It is true that cruelty, hate, passion and violence seem to be in possession of large parts of the world, and that bombs and machine-guns seem to dominate the situation. But it is also true that the race is very unhappy under these conditions, and that orclinarv men and women hate them with passion. I believe the great majority of living persons are saying in effect, ‘We want to be let out of this ghastly system under which we live. We protest against being called on either to strive against others in daily life, or to kill and maim others in war’.”
