Cooperation for Peace
Based on Compromise
Nations Must Yield Some Sovereignty to
Lend Helping Hand Against Threats
To World Security.
BY BAUKHAGE
News analyst and Commentator.

Of civilization which began when
the Individual cave man agreed
to abide by the rules of the tribe,
the tribe submitted to the will of
the community and so on until the
process produced the United States.
Here is vast area occupying a
huge sector of a great continent,
which, after a bloody war where
state rights versus federal author
ity was the issue, became a unified
whole. Hates, rivalries, competition.
religious and economic difference
continue Gas a part of human ma
ture) but internecine strife is un-
thinkable.
Where's the rub, then? Just, "sov-
ereignty" which Is a fighting word,
still today. The United States is will
ing, anxious to participate in the
United Nations organization the
people have given that mandate to
both parties. But will she yield her
sovereignty? IF so, how much?
II she will not, it is largely mat
ter of ignorance as to what that
sacrifice involves. And who makes
the sacrifice? The people them
selves or some abstraction known as
the government"
At this point let me quote that
other student Of international rela-
tons, who, it is true, does not raise
his sight to the point Of world feder-
alton but who has urged it on a
more limited, basis.
Irefer to Clarence STREET who has
long campaigned for federal union
of the north Atlantic democracies.
He says tina. the only loss Of sover-
eighty involved is the subordination
Of the ruling bodies to the ruling
body Of the union, that a citizen still
has the right of franchise and all
the rest Of his rights.

Bishop Learns Swearing
And Pumping Has Meaning

In the old days of sailing ships,
a bishop was crossing to America.
The vocabulary of sailors has al
ways been a lurid one, and the
swearing habits of the crew hurt
the good bishop deeply, writes w.
J. Brown in $50 Far :" One
night at his prayers, he was inter-
rupted by a burst of profanity of
more than ordinary color and in
tensity, and was moved to COM
plain to the captain.
The captain replied: :" Bishop,
you may not know it, but this ship
has sprung a leak. Those men
you can hear swearing are at the
pumps. While they're pumping
and swearing you can reckon
you're all right! But if they stop
pumping and start praying you
can reckon it's all up!"

Banana Oddly

Unlike other banana plants
which produce their fruit in
punches of from so to $50, banana
plant cultivated in the Far East
produces only one fruit. But this
banana is as long and thick as a
mans arm and contains sufficient
food to make an adequate meal for
three hungry persons.

are no. less rivalries between San
Francisco and Los Angeles than
there are between any two nations
Of the earth. But cities and states
of our federal union would no more
think of attempting armed warfare
with each other than any decent
law-abiding citizen would think of
shooting up his neighbor to get his
radio, his wife or his parking privi-
leges. We are that civilized. We &C.
cept the sacrifice Of sovereignty of
our home state to sovereignty under
the United States.
When we advance to the point
where we can sacrifice the degree
Of sovereignty Of our nation neces-
sary in order to guarantee world
order we will be civilized enough
to be sure that our sons won't run
the chance Of killing and being
killed as part Of spectacle Of
mass murder which even the hor-
rors Of this war will pale.
The San Francisco conference
can present a blue print of the ma
chinery for peace. Only civilization
itself can implement it.
It is easier to understand things
we can see and touch than ideas.
Brooks Harding was born in
Nebraska and grew up with the
normal nationalism Of a boy who
had never seen foreign flag flying
anywhere. He served in the last
war in the artillery, later became
interested in aviation. He had a
small aircraft factory, and then
small leather factory in New York
state.
He watched the League of Nations
rise and fall. He saw the United
Nations start. He became convinced
that unless there was some out
ward symbol, some outward appeal
which would stir the Imagination
and the emotions of the people, the
second attempt at world harmony
would fail as did the first.
And so he literally left all he had
with the sole purpose Of making
his contribution in the form of
United Nations flag.
That flag has not been officially
adopted but it flew In Washington
and it flew in San Francisco So
plain white field with four vertical
red bars synbolizing. he says, VIC
tory, equality, unity and freedom.
It is sponsored by the United Ma
tons Honor Flag committee sup
ported by such contributions which
he could make or which he could
solicit in travels about the coun-
try.
He hopes for its official sanction.
He feels that this banner may
some day become the rallying in
sigma for the people Of all peace
loving nations, who without slacken-
ing their loyalty to their own coun-
try will respect and support the
forces for international good will
which this emblem represents.

SAN FRANCISCO. -- The tumult
and the shouting dies, the captains
and the kings depart, still stands
Thine ancient sacrifice = an humble
and a contrite heart. =. so said
Kipling in describing the end Of
war ("far-called our navies melt
away.") AS review this chapter Of
current history here at San Fran
cisco where the world security or
ganization is in the making, am
impressed with one thing: what has
already been achieved containing
merit and the seeds of hope for a
peaceful world has been achieved
by the sacrifice offered by the hum
BILE and contrite hearts.
That sounds somewhat idealistic
perhaps but let me explain.
I think it is not an exaggeration
to say that compromise Is the key
stone of harmony whether it is
question Of interpersonal, inter-
party, interstate or international re-
lations. And what is compromise
but sacrifice?
Applied to the United Nations con-
ference on International organiza-
ton, sacrifice of national aspira-
ton, and compromise which meant
yielding actual selfish advantage OF
the moment in the hope of gaining
potential advantage for the general
good, have at least given evidence
of good will. Good will, supplemented
by popular endorsement, means
practical progress toward peace.

Peace More
Natural Than War

You may have read very trench
ant article by Emery Reeves, au-
thority and writer on international
affairs in the current Mercury
magazine, which confutes the argu-
ment that since war is part Of
human nature, it can never be pre-
vented. Mr.. Reeves goes about his
task of disproving this convent bro
mide of the pessimist in highly
scientific manner.
why" he asks, ''did cities once
wage war against each other and
why do they no longer fight each
other with weapons today?
"Why, at certain times did great
landowner barons war with each
other and why have they ceased
the practice?
''Why did the various churches
plunge their adherents into armed
warfare and why today, are they
able to worship side by side with
out shooting each other? Why did
Scotland and England, the author
continues, and other parts OF what
are now single nations, once fight
and now live together peacefully?
Reeves points out that these and
other groups, presumably because it
was the nature of the beast to once
consider it natural to decide their
differences with tooth, claw, pow
der and shot, or bow and arrow and
yet that kind of legal murder no
longer exists and would horrify mod
ern man.
This is his answer to these
provocative questions:
''Wars between these social units
cease to exist the moment SOW
ereign power is transferred to a
larger or higher unit"
That is worth bordering.
