Quotation of the Week
"The experience of two world conflagrations in a short period
of one generation, with their immense, incredible havoc, is an indica-
tion of the size of the problem faCing society . . . The responsibility
for thought and action rests on the governments and peoples of the
United Nations. The League of Nations might have had a much better
success than it did, save for the fact, as. Sumner Welles.- declared on
May 30, of last year: 'We were blind to what constituted our enlight-
ened self-interest . . ." We must not be guilty of such blindness in this
second crisis. Rather we must strive with heart and soul to establish
a strong, effective and enduring organization for world peaCe, and
thus vindicate the hope of man in the possibility of a free world."
