Towards One World
RE we as far as ever today from a true fellowship of peoples? This sounds a grim thought, but it is probably true. How can we help to work towards the ideal of One World? In a series of seven recorded talks to be broadcast in a link of the YA and YZ stations, starting at 9.15 p.m. this Friday, August 25, several speakers, both in .New Zealand and from abroad, will offer what they consider to be a way. The title is Towards One World. The first talk, by Jeanne Biddulph, of the Nga Tawa School, is called Vengeance Won't Do. She talks about /the age-long conflict between Frenchmen and Germans, and of how it is being overcome by such schemes as the Schuman Plan, which offers, she says, "something easily understood: peace, through bread-and-butter commonsense." Since "we have reached the point where the whole world must be considered as one economic unit,’ we must "plan accordingly, or perish." The second talk is by Sir Robert Holland, formerly of the Indian Civil Service, who recently visited New Zealand. His subject, The Right to Security, involves such points as "God has dis- appeared from the sky. Principle is abandoned. Science cannot give us any ideals." A recent writer in The New Statesman and Nation said that the atmosphere in which the Schuman Plan was
conceived was created by Dr. Frank Buchman, leader of the Oxford Group, better known as Moral Re-Armament. Another talk in the series is by Dr. Buchman himself, whose subject is The Destiny of East and West. In his plea for. Moral Re-Armament, he says: "Marxists are finding a new thinking in a day of crisis. The class struggle is being superseded. Management and labour are beginning to live a positive alternative to class war. .. These things are true. They are They are one way of finding unity for all." The last four talks will be What Can the Individual Do? (by L. H. G. Gordon, Secretary-Organiser of the United Nations Association in Wellington), and The Economic Obstacles, Nationalism and Internationalism, and Can thr Church Help?
