The Preparations of the Peace Commission
The President and Secretary of State announce
that they have called a meeting of the Big Four Na
tions to discuss plans for the Peace. It is also stated
that the American preliminary peace commission
will be composed of four Republicans and four Dem
ocrats, which we must say is an act of wisdom. The
terms of the peace are too vital to our nation and to
all nations not to have all phases analyzed and dis
cussed by all main schools of political thought. How
ever dark or bright the prospects of the war are, now
we know that the Allies will win, and it is high time
to prepare to avert what might prove a castastrophe
with any sudden end of the struggle.
A world taut for four years with the most intense
strain of all time on all its resources, might fall to the
deepest depths of history, unless we lay plans to ab
sorb the shock. We believe that the new commission
can not work too fast in preparation of a cushion to
prevent still further defeat of our forces of civiliza
tion. This will require the best wisdom of the best
leaders, the full elimination of politics, the greatest
devotion to freedom for all peoples, the soundest
views of international economics, and a God fearing
purpose for the welfare of humanity.
There will be plenty to do when the delegations of
the four nations get together. We hope that the lead
ers of the Big Four will select the smartest, the most
far seeing, the best informed, the wisest and the most
patriotic men they have for the task.

built to take those pressures.
