the second anniversary of the

Day., October 2e. The present
time is the great moment for
peace action, says the Council,
adding: "Fear is perhaps the
greatest peril to peace. In every
area of international life gov
ernments and peoples are taking
counsel primarily of their fears.
The growing threats to natinal
and social security, heightened
by the permanent military inse-
curity of this atomic age, lead
more and more to a panic psy-
chology. The Impulse to bold and
generous action is paralyzed, the
nerve for patient goodwill is cut,
and the causes of fear are in
tensifed. Fear among the vic
tors delays the peace settlements
and makes them more difficult.
Soviet fears have deadlocked the
crucial atomic negotiations and
Western fears are in turn speed
ing up the new race in arms.
Economic fears hamper effect
i've reconstruction in Europe,
and fear of depression in Amerl-
ca is charging the factors OF
depression. The nations are
caught in a vicious spiral of their
reciprocal fears. . The deadly
consequences of fear and cynl-
cism will not be averted by tim
i'd halfway measures, any more
than by the desperate excuses
of panic. The peoples and their
governments, and in the first IN
! stance the people and govern
ment of the most powerful ma
ton. must be willing to take far
sighted and sacrificial risks for
peace, as they have been will

such a world. They must be WILL

present crisis The United
States has an opportunity to ex-
ercise bold and generous leader

responding to the present need
of war-torn countries in Europe
and Asia for material and tech

the economic crisis, such as that
proposed by the Secretary
