ARMY SERGEANT:
Hopes? Well it is not very original to wish for peace. Expectations? Peace.in Europe probably. Frenchmen sitting-and hoping to stay-in Cologne, and Poles in Breslau and Danzig. Russians sitting almost anywhere (for no one knows what a Russian will do, least of all, a Communist). And this uneasy peace maintained by Americans homesick for the West, perhaps in part by New Zealanders homesick for Whakatane, all heartily tired of policing Nanking and Bavaria. K. E. CROMPTON (Medical Practitioner): 1. The foundation laid of a supernational authority with the will and power to prevent war and the causes of war. 2. Throughout history hopes and aspirations have so often been defeated by human blindness and folly that it would be rash to expect too much, Yet if we fail after this lesson to make aggression and war impossible, we shall surely perish and deserve to perish. A. COPLAND (Sea Captain): 1. I would like to see the finish of the present world war, and the peace being won by no individual nation or race of people, but by the people of the world as a whole. I would also like to see the world order that Robert Burns dreamed of 120 years ago being brought into being: that "Man to man the world o’er shall brothers be for a’ that." I would also like to see the same scientific and medical research, energy and selfsacrifice that have been used for the destruction of our fellow men used as unsparingly for the benefit of mankind. 2. I expect to see a great deal of unrest, jealousy and disagreement among the nations regarding the peace settle ments and the rehabilitation of the liberated nations.
