In PayuK'ut Por Peace
in a we of iHir genrration ar#* very unfortunate in
havtnf lo live in m tinv of doubt and uncertainty. Yet, in
another M>nfte, we cannot call our^elvet any different from
people out of the paftt, for it haa come lo be a trademark
of mankmd that he thould be plagurd with *‘wari and ru
mor* of war*". Wr need no telling that the world situation
I* one of doubt, fear, and forebodmg a* to what the **tlingt
and arrows'* have in store. Will it be peace or war? If man
runs trur to form, we have no other end to face than that
of war. It hangs over our heads liUe a dark impending
storm cloud, and we never know from one day until the
rwat jusi when or where it will begin to rain its destruc
tion. Have you ever thought what you would pay for peace
m our time? Many people in many ages have thought
about world peace. In our a now smAll group of
people with an idea offer us this much>sought>after
and seldom-found answer. Their idea is ONF. WOKLD and
lh«*y go by the nanw of World Federalists.
We glory in the fact thal we are individuals of a state,
of a nation, of a world. On the other hand we have a loy>
ally to onr nation and one idea that placet our individual
ism secondary to that of good for the group; in other
word^ our rights end where the other fellow's begin. It it
upon ihu very simple idea that World F'ederalitm is based.
Wart have t>een caused in the past because individual
nations have been unwilling to sacrifice some of their
national sovereinty for the good of the society of the
world. We are guilty of nationalistic selfishness. To pre>
serve any society there must be an allegiance to the laws
of that society. So is the case with the world; it is neces-
sary, in the light of a rapid scientific advancement that
we have a World t^w. International Law is not the same
AS a World Law; rather it is or has become a set of rules
governing the diplomatic actions of nations.
If we are ever lo have world government, the United
btale« must make i| known to the world lage that it
desires lo lake the first step in such a plan. Such a step
would mean our sacrificing the right lo declare war. This
iloes not mean that we as individuals of a nation would
lose any of our rights. On the contrary, we would gain
protection. If all the nations of the world were united into
one government, still maintaining, as do our ttates, their
rights as slates of a World Democracy, there would be no
need of war. What about Russia? Should all the other na>
tions of the world unite, then Russia, or any other dittent*
ing country, would have no other alternative than to join
in the clan.
We as students of this college can join the World Fed*
eralisi group on our campus and help counter propagan>
di/e a blind impulse toward a third World War. John
Ciardi in one of his poerfis describes our most capable
news commentators as a hoard of black bombers that de*
scend upon radio audiences at dusk, dropping **block bust*
ers'* loaded with a philosophy thal will result in our never
developing a *‘world conacience'*. Their pholotiphy offers
as its answer lo the problem, WAR. The philosophy of
World Federalism offers as its answer, PEACt. If we are
to have a draft, let il be a draft which call* men to serve
in an army of the world, preserving forever the peace
and happiness of that world.

Dear Sir.
The morale of the students
here at Atlantic Christian un
doubtedly received a much needed
transfusion with the beginning
of construction on the new dormi
tory, but It has taken a turn for
the worse during the past two
weeks Resultlnf from this defla
tion of the morale has been the
formation of vigilantes, so to
speak, by various groups who are
attempting to correct the faculty
situations. Their Interest is not
abnormal, bat a natural reaction
to disaatiafying conditions.
, The thing that these groups
fail to realise is that they have a
duly elected student and faculty
orgaiiitatlon which can more ap
propriately dispose of such mat
ters if properly approached. If
these groups work in conjunction
with their elected representatives
they will accomplish a greater de
gree of harmony in campus

The Kditor InformR me that Ij
hare eXBctly 675 words in which F
am to Piplain all of the Ideaa im
plied in the term "World Federa-'
tlon". Probably more than I know
could be iiald in 175 words, but i
eten lo llithtly touch the surface
of the whole topic would require
volumes. Actually, however, it Is
*o»d that my space Is limited.
You see, I am writing this after |
the press deadline.
World federation or federalism
Is, I believe I may say, basically
political theory. From W>bster ’
we learn that "federal" means—i
"of or pertalnInK to a compact’
between states which surrender ^
their soverlenty and consolidate |
into a new stale". A very good ex- j
amnie of this Is the United .States!
of Amerlra .Vow obviously, world
federation would I* the formation
of a world federal state, to which
all the present national states 1
would surrender many of their
powers AmnnK these, presumably
would be the rlKht to wage war or
lo participate In an armed con-
flirt.
As a matter of fact, this Idea Is
not new at all. For example. In
the past thirty years we have had
two world wide attempts to do
much the same thinK, though with
less radical machinery. The
League of Nations and United Na
tions have been serious attempts
made In an effort to Insure a
peaceful world. In each case, they
have been a mere union of the na
tions. with the nations retaining
all the powers. In each case they
have been an outright or near
failure In each case they have
lacked the teeth of authority nec
essary to Insure the execution of
any Important decisions.
For years there have been
thinking persons throughout the
world who have been more Inter
ested In world security and peace!
than In massing hoards of "Ini
Ood We Trust" silver. Among i
these have been a good number;
who realize that uranium is an
element even as copper, nickle,!
silver or gold are elements. These \
persons, hopelessly Ignored In the)
most part, have tirelessly con-!
tended to the political leaders and!
the masses of people that a world '
federal government Is not only
iwsslble. hut also that It is prac-i
tical and the only solution to war
and ch^. Such a man Is Dr. Rob-1
ert I, Kumber. I have heard him
convincingly explain that where-
*" o^Kanlied on
a diplomatic basli—the tool of
dlploinacv Is the threat of war—
t could be organlted politically—
he has explained how In everr
<-ase, friction ha, alwa^ |
hllTih' ‘“o** nnlU which !
b -Id the power to wage war FVnin '
the family, the tribe ZVi cZ '
there ha. been a steady pro^'*'!'
Sion until today—the day of na
tional buttles.
That there has been some re-
Bponse to Inis reaRonlng can be
seen in a general statement re*
leaHed by the International Coun-
ill of Churches. “Certain powers
now exercised by national govern*
menta must be delegated to inter
national jfovernment. organized
and acting in accord with a worW
system of law. Among these pow
ers so delegated must be the
power of final judgement in con
troversies between nations, the
maintenance of domestic order
and the regulation of internt-
tional trade and population move
ment among the nations."
In a recent lecture, Leland
Stowe noted that today the world
Is actually divided into two force*
and their influences. Yet, far from
pesalsmisllc. he felt that perhapi
this is an indication that the nltl-
mate end world federalism- ii
one step nearer. Of course, the
important question is whether or
not we shall be able to go to com
plete world federalism without
another war. As he said it, “world
federalism will come, will we be
bere to see it?”
Perhaps this unanswered ques
tion has stimulated much of the
present Interest in world federa
tion. People are not aware that in
the past man has survived hlg ef
forts of destruction largely be
cause heretofore there has bees
an ample margin of error even in
the most skillful means of de
struction; and people are further
aware that in an Atomic-Cheml*
cal-Biological War, that margin
of security has been erased.
an excellent article concernin?
this see, Saturday Review of Lit
erature—August 7, 1948 “Don’t
R*»8ign From the Human Race")
Thus we have most of the world
federalists feeling that world
federation is not only the inerl-
table; but that Is is the sole hope
or direction. They are not un
aware of the practical politic*!
problems posed. In line with thli
a commission headed by T)r
Robert Hutchins has drawn np •
tentative world constitution to be
presented to the world conren-
tion next year.
As Mark Van Doren feels. “The
first step tow’ard the federation
of the world is for the United
States government to make known
that it desires It. The next step l«
for this same government to Mk
other governments if they desire
it also and to point out if they do
Ihere is something that can be
done. The Charter of the United
Nations can be amended. The
United Nations can call a retlew
conference looking toward at leaft
a consideration of those change#

made, would produce a union
