legislators who have looked over

This is no easy task and 1t
surely will be a long one. for there
are so many confusing problems
to be settled. Patience will be
needed both among the negotia-
tors and among the peoples OF the
world.
This meeting, in itself, illus
trates the Illustration we have en-
countered thus far in achieving
fully one of the aims for which
the men We honor today died.
That aim was an effective inter-
national organization.

The United Nations was set up
four years ago in San Francisco.
under our leadership and spon-
sorship, to adjust differences
among nations of the world. But
that organization has not been
able to take over full response
bility because Of the tension and
differences between the two ma
tions which are dominant In the
world today and dominant In the
United Nations. itself-the United
States and Russia.
So 1t has been necessary to go
outside of the United Nations IN
such conferences as that now IN
Paris. This can't 60 on. however.
If we are to realize our aim OF a
stable world order in the United
Nations. We must have 4 United
Nations in which there is enough
strength and confidence to do the
job.
It is, however, hopeful that at
last direct negotiations have been
resumed. II they succeed. II they
can compose the existing differ
ences. then a spirit of compromise
can be translated into the United
Nations itself.
Then the nations which COM
prise the United Nations can take
the next very necessary step. This
is to strengthen that organization
so that it can operate effectively
to handle all problems that arise
among nations. It has been sue

The suggestion gained adher-

West. q fraternal order in the

moters. Others followed and to-
day scores Of veteran and church
groups. civic and fraternal clubs

Pertinent to World Politics.
The pertinency of religion to
the hard realities Of today's world
politics is not to be denied. AL
along the border between East and
West-in Poland. czechoslovakia,
Hungary. Yugoslavia and now In
Korea-the pagan is launching
some Of his most subtle, but most
devastating weapons. The church,
Catholic and Protestant. is under
attack wherever East meets West.
On one side of that border God
Is denied, totally and without res
ervation, and his servants are lit
orally prescribed as the bearers Of
reaction and capitalistic way of
life. On the other side. God not
only is accepted but daily Is gain
ing new disciples in the persons Of
those who seek refuge from the
threat Of a new war, and a new
devastation Of the world which, If
1t comes. will surpass anything
mankind has ever known.
There are those cynical, thor
oughly materialistic persons. who
will sneer at such things as the
daily noontime prayers for peace.
We must seek our own salvation
among ourselves, they say. and not
burden the Almighty with such
cares.
It is true that man must do what
he can to solve his own problems,
but there is a limit beyond which
man cannot go, where God takes
over, and it is in this realm that
such movements as Mr.. L'Heu-
reaux' possess not only spiritual
Importance but also a hard. practi-
cal, realistic Importance.

Dear Mother:
1t is laundering and raining
so we are having some relief
from the heat. 1t rains about
every other day. However, the
gardens are still not ready to
be planted.
We were very happy to re-
ceive two packages from you
on Monday as we'll as two from
the Christian Catholic Church
of used clothing. Your pack
age that was missing at Christ
mas time arrived, containing
your fruit cake along with the
"yummy" marshmallows, choc-
olate bits, Christmas decora-
tons, table napkins, postum,
dough-nut cutters, etc. Every
thing was nice and the cake
was not spoiled-it was good.
The other box from you con-
tanned the rags and tablecloth.
Thanks very much. The lace
mats are lovely. The church
packages contained some very
useful things. Some of the
clothing fits our girls and can
be used. We plan to sell the
baby clothes and buy things
for the girls. It is not wise to
just give the things away as
sometimes it creates hard feel
ings among the natives, so we
just have a little sale and sell
the things for a shilling or so.
The things suitable for the girls
in the dormitory are, of course,
given to them.
Eleanor also received two
packages from her sister. Her
pen which was home for re-
pairs was in one of them. She
has been without it most of
the time, using my other pen.
Faith and Bob also received
several packages.

Among the clothing sent by

were couple of dresses that
I could wear for every day so
l kept them out. There was one
that Sis could use also. We are
glad to have them in order to
save our others, as the wash
ing and sun is very hard on our

Sis and I are exceptionally
