Continued from page one
because we have that protection
now in America and desire it
for people everywhere. The fact
that we have a voice in our gov
ernment and such things as tree
dom of speech and religious
rights makes our country seem a
paradise to many of the people
of war-torn Europe, Very few of
us can imagine what it would be
like to be without these rights.
"... to build the defenses of
peace." OVER HALF THE FEO-
Pie In the worm can t read or
write. These people live in areas
that are infested with diseases,
poverty and hunger. Heading the
attack on such illiteracy is the
United Nations' Educational, Sci
entific and Cultural Organization
which is bringing "fundamental
education" to groups that have
been deprived of schooling.
Through the education these peo
ple receive, they will learn to
read and write; become aware of
simple health rules; learn better
farming methods and other prac
tical measures for raising their
standard of living. They also
learn to understand other people,
other forms of government, and
better race-relations are pro
moted. "Wars begin in the minds
of men and it is there that ce
fenses of peace must be construct
ed." When men understand one
another and the reasons for their
differences, they are freed from a
great deal of the blind hatred
that is the result of ignorance.
"... to keep peace." "Peace
is dear to the hearts of men, but
not so dear that it can be bought
with liberty," Any American will
endorse this statement instantly.
Why does the United Nations have
soldiers fighting? World Peace is
the answer! Soldiers from many
nations, of different races and
religions, are fighting alongside
each other for this world peace in
which thev all believe. There
has never before been a world or
ganization, as large, using mili
tary power to keep peace and de
veloping international protection
against AGGRESSION. The Uni
ted Nations has many times stop
ped fighting which might have
become widespread and we can
verify this fact by looking at the
record. We ask, "Why hasn't
such fighting exploded into a
war?" Much credit is due to
the firm action of the United Na
tions and the high respect which
is held for it in all corners of the
globe. Only insofar as the United
Nations is successful In deterring
would-be-aggressors will the
common citizen be able to live
with a feeling of security and
promise for the future.
"... to save disaster's child
ren." If we asked children in
countries struck by war what the
United Nations meant to them,
this Is what we would hear: "A
cup of milk; a piece of cheese and
meat; shoes for our feet; warm
blankets and clothing; . . . medi
cines to make us well again." If
we were one of the "disaster's
children" it would mean the same
to us. But it is fortunate that you
and I have never had to worry
about such a circumstance. The
United Nations has organized the
International Children's Emer
gency Fund to prpvide for these
children.
Since the United States joined
the United Nations we are no
longer able to consider ourselves
Just as citizens of our state, and
our country, now we must also
consider ourselves as citizens of
the world. This is a world-wide
obligation and responsibility we
must face. We cannot accept the
privileges the United Nations has
to offer us without also accepting
the responsibilities. Too often we
fail to look at it from that angle.
To f uJ if ill those responsibilities
we should learn about the United
Nations, what it does and study

its Charter. We should follow its
activities with interest. We should
do further research in the librar
ies and other places. We should
also aid the United Nations by
giving to the various organiza
tions, who can carry our contri
butions to those in need.
On the East River at First Ave
nue, East .Onrt and East 48th
streets in New York City the Uni
ted Nations has recently moved
into its new headquarters. This
seems a long way from Heppner,
Oregon, but it is not nearly as far
from here as it is from the homes
of some of the delegates who are
working there. All these men
and women from far-distant
lands are working with our own
delegates toward a great goal.
This goal is that perhaps someday
we shall have a World Govern
ment for the sake of mankind.
Such a government would finally
put an end to aggression and
solve many problems that con
front the United Nations today.
This would bring an international
linking of all the people of the
world regardless of race, creed,
color, and religion.
In the final analysis, it means
that if the United Nations is suc
cessful in this struggle for world
harmony, you and I may some
day look to the future without
thoughts of military service, of
shelters to protect us from atom
bombs, and of fear for the safety
of our families. Someday, if the
United Nations is successful we
may truly live in a world where
there is peace and understanding
among ail men. Today, in an
atmosphere of so mucji mistrust
and hatred, there is no greater
goal.
