Van Kirk Demands Economic Justice in Post-War Planning By COURTNEY SWANDER The renunciation of isolationism and the establishment of economic justice among the nations of the world were given as prerequisites of a durable peace by Dr. Walter W. Van Kirk at the assembly Monday afternoon. Dr. Van Kirk’s appearance in Eugene was part of a national tour sponsored by the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ of America. He is chairman of its commission for international justice and good will and for several years has conducted the “Religions in the News” pro gram over stations of the Na tional Broadcasting company. Having participated in world peace movements for twenty years and completed a number of conferences with British church men this summer, Dr. Van Kirk came well prepared to express the voice of the church in mak ing the next peace lasting. Church Renders Service The church is rendering a spiritual service to the country, Dr. Van Kirk said. Through it there is an interchange of rela tionship—even between nations at war. Such a service is inval uable in its possibilities for keep ing the peace. The speaker touched upon his many efforts and those of the church in general toward “out lawing” war and limiting arma ments, but he said that their ef fect did not stabilize peace. “Resolutions against war and conferences on reducing arma ments are fine as far as they go,” Dr. Van Kirk asserted, “but they do not touch the basic cause of war. “One of the most important factors in making the next peace permanent is the establishment of economic justice in the world community,” he stated, “but too few people have an accurate re alization of the fact.” Economic Justice Explained By economic justice he ex plained that he meant that ex ploitation of natural resources for the development of the re gions where they are found and not for the gaining or enlarging of empire. Dr. Van Kirk pointed to the Atlantic charter as an example of economic justice and to the resolution on American post-war cooperation which is now before the senate. Of the latter he pre dicted that its enactment or de feat would play a large part in determining the future of world peace. Former Duck Trains In Pre-Flight School Arthur A.
