HAVERFORD, Pa. - What
makes the Quakers wage their
unending war against war?
What prompts this tiny re-

tional problem is by force.
WAR is evil. It always will
be evil.
Force is wasteful. It has
never solved any problem COM
pletely."
WAR between the United
States and Russia is not in
evitable. 1t can and it must
be prevented at any cost for
war has no price tag at all.
Peace is worth any price"

troops by both nations and

United. Nations control of the
atom bomb and the halting Of
further manufacture of f1ssion-
able materials.
Consider All Viewpoints
DR.. White told a reporter he
doesn't think the committee
has found the cure for war yet
but it has moved one long
step forward.
We're going to keep on
recommending and recon-
mending.' he says. Discussion

People must keep an open

In the plenary meeting, the
