Moral Rearlnament
Held Worlds Hone,
Buchanan Declares
Senator and British
Labor Leader Join in
Short-Wuve Broadcast
Special Dispatch to The Star.


SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3O DIR.
Frank N. D. Buchanan, head of the
moral rearmament movement, de-
clared in world wide radio broad
cast yesterday that civilization,
man-controlled, is faced with COL
lapse and that moral rearmament
is the one hope for the future"
DR.. Buchanan said, Our arts of
reconciliation have not kept pace
with the arts of war" and that ma
tions must move beyond crisis to
cure"
Senator Truman, Democrat, of
Missouri, speaking from Washington
on the same program, referred to
moral rearmament as something
which will unite men and nations
on plane above conflict of party,
class or political philosophy"
Il believe that the future of civil-
zation must largely depend upon the
success of moral rearmament," he
declared.
Says America Answers Call.
ouI AlS Vic ldSl lOul
said Senator Truman, I'VE have seen
our people from the farms, in the
cities, from the work shop and in
the homes answering to this call for
moral rearmament. The hope of a
new World-united, strong and free
as never before-has come to the
hearts of Americans from coast to
coast as they have watched this new
spirit unite husband and wife. par
ents and children, employer and en-
ploye, statesman and citizen. The
battle is for new World-a world of
peace and love. We have been graft
=. fed to see this Nationwide response
in America to the challenge of
moral rearmament. In every walk of
life, our citizens are awakening to
those Christian virtues of honesty,
purity. unselfshneSs and love which
form the bedrock of national char
acter, and which enlist the citizens
of democracy in constructive ma
tional service"
Another speaker was Herbert H.
Elvin, president of the British
Trades Union Congress, who said he
believed the message of hope for
the world is: Repentance, repara-
ton and regeneration He said the
success of the moral rearmament
movement will be determined by its
ability to touch all human relation

DR.. Buchanan called for IAN army

nations" DR.. Buchanan said, when
the people in the nations are in q
state of permanent personal war
fare. Strikes, labor difficulties and
wars are inevitable until we change
our whole thought and quality OF
living. Peace is not an idea. It is
people becoming different. Some
one pockets his pride and says I'm
sorry We cannot permanently 90
on expecting other nations to repent
first"
Says New Philosophy Needed.
"A new world philosophy is need
ed" declared Mr.. Buchanan, "a
world philosophy capable of Great
ing a new era of constructive rela-
tionships between men and nations.
A new craftsmanship, new leader
ship will ensue from this heightened
quality of thinking and living. A
nations first line of defense is the
character of her people.
This world philosophy will emerge
as people begin to get their direc-
ton from the living God. 1t will be
within the framework of hate-free,
fear-free, greed-free quality of living
Think Of the cost of hate, fear
and greed. Millions of men and
women must grope through dark
ened cities because the nations have
been living in spiritual blackout.
Millions of men and women today
must listen to air-raid warnings be-
cause nations have not listened to
the voice of God in days gone by.
Yet dark nights of waiting may
prove a blessing in disguise, for
guidance is a staple necessity that
is not rationed.
Man today is ready to believe
that human wisdom has failed. A
situation is growing up in which
people will want God to speak to
them. They will have nothing else
between themselves and desperation
as they read the changing chimeri-
cal headlines that no one wants.
Men need some adequate voice to
interpret and mold events.
Aim Is Two fold.
THE aim of moral rearmament
is tWO-fold-flrst, to restore God to
leadership as the directing force in
the life OF nations. and then to
work for the strengthening of morale
within a country, and so build a
healthful, national life.
The moral rearmament way is
to start by being different yourself
Honest apology is the highroad of
lasting peace. War is the
price of the selfishness of nations.
Most people are selfish enough to
want a peace that permits them to
wage their own private wars ard
foster their own petty indul-
gences.
The world must declare a mora
torium on hate and fear, personally
and nationally. The new peace pact
must have as it's preamble. that all
contracting parties. all nations live
on the basis of no hate, no fear. no
greed. And the necessary prelude
to this happier pact is that every
individual, in every nation, begins
that new quality OF living now, and
does not postpone it to some future
armistice. Then we shall be true
patriots. Then there will be law
and order in Europe and the world,
within your hearts and within the
boundary of your nation. Then we
shall be able to say: Behold how
these nations love one another"
