Those who entered the Great War in order to end war, evidently forgot this solemn warning. Never was the whole world so full of fear. Science and Economic Law have crowded the Nations into a narrow circle of angry neighbors. Fear forces emigration and fear pro hibits immigration. Fear provokes war and fear cries for peace. So it must remain until the peoples of the earth real ize that the Path to Peace is Justice. Then free and con stitutional governments, founded on spiritual princi ples which transcend economic and financial nation alism, may be reestablished in the hearts of men. For Justice and Peace are coordinate. Peace requires Jus tice for its foundation and Justice requires Peace for its administration. When Justice is achieved as the foundation of Gov ernment we shall be able to join Tennyson in his call on the New Year Bells to— "RING IN THE THOUSANDS YEARS OF PEACE!" Sincerely Yours, William P.
