Salt Lake City, Utah, Saturday Morning, May 18, 1935. Prospects for Universal Peace THIS date is recognized as international good will day. It is observed annually as the culmination of peace week. One of the problems for which mankind seeks an early solution is the establishment of peace permanent peace based on mutual desires for justice and arbitration. Too many members of the family of nations are carrying chips around on their shoulders while clamoring for peace. The outlook is not encouraging. One is tempted to inquire with Jeremiah: Why cry peace, peace, when there is no peace? France is fortifying her frontiers. Italy is enrolling school children as soldiers. Germany has been unmasked as a maker of arms and ammunition ever since the treaty of Versailles was signed. Great Britain is increasing her naval strength. Japan is building up an offensive armament. Russias boasted industrialization is now understood to be camouflaged militarization. Preparations for war in a half dozen countries are crowding aside the industries of peace. Mankind is in constant dread, as Patrick Henry said, lest the next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms. All around that mecca of pacifists, where the League of Nations meets and mumbles its mandates, the tread of marching armies fills homes with dread. Peace will never be established by treaties, nor laws, nor leagues. While the avarice of individuals is permitted to fatten on incompetents, so will the greed of governments fatten on the advantages might has always claimed against right. Peace can only come from the conversion of mankind to the principles of Justice and the desirability of arbitration. This doctrine will have to be taught the people of all governments. It Will meet with sneers and censure from demagogues, jingo statesmen, militarists and malcontents. It will have to tear the masks from pretenders and makers of munitions. It will have to suppress the activities of agitators and the ambitions of would be dictators. The establishment of peace throughout the world will have to come gradually, as a result, of study, serious contemplation, humane consideration for right, broader understanding of justice as the cornerstone of civilization, and the development and exercise of tolerance in every human relation political, religious, social and racial. World peace will not come by chastisement, or intimidation, or inspiration. When its desirability is recognized by majorities beginning to think for themselves peace will be assured. The first and fundamental law of nature, said Thomas Hobbes in the seventeenth century, is to seek peace and follow it. |
