~Eisenhower's Challenge

North Carolina has been signally
honored by the visit of General Eisen-
hover to Raleigh as guest speaker at
the annual Farm and Home meeting.
And as always, the General gave his
Audience and the nation something to
ponder.
Even though the goal of peace ap-
pears further away now than when the
World War II firing ceased, he said in
effect, the significance of the Axis de-
feat, measured in terms of genera
tions, is in the opportunity it provides
for the development of international
understanding and organization"
If we understand the General Alright,
his purpose was to encourage peoples
to- see beyond the present impasse
created by the Soviet Union in it's m
bition to rule the world, and find in
that wider vista the imperishable truth
that while aggressors may flourish for
A"tl1Ilc tlIcy CdIlllOC lung prevail against
the forces Of right.
There is time, he said, for those
who "stand for peace" to effect such
solidarity that their aggregate
strength will make military aggression
a profitless gamble" The United States,
he added, must meet the demands of
leadership toward world order "partic-
ularly when noble purpose is subjected
to ridicule and sacrifice earns only Will
fcation."
That this is a challenge to Ameri-
can leadership in the major response
bilities for world peace is obvious. AS
clear a challenge as when President
Wilson enumerated his fourteen points
for world peace in an address at Mobile
In the First World War era. HOPEFULLY
It will not be shunted aside, as was
President Wilson's, ever though Rus
sia's antagonist to the peace-making
propositions brought forward by the
Western Democracies is so militant.
