IF we want to test it we should
do it off the bay of Texas.

Father Twohy said, we must con-
slider the end for which power is be-
ing used, that it is a question of what
it is going to be used for-is it being
used to support justice.
The question of nuclear testing
was discussed at length in the dis
cussion group to which I was as
signed.
None of the speakers questioned
the place or need for a continued
and strong UN, but the English dele
gates statement that we must have
faith in our diplomats caused skepti-
cal comment in discussion groups and
among individuals.
Bayard Rustin doubted the ability
of individuals to impress their con-
gressmen, who are only able to read
about per cent of the bills they
must act upon and are generally
swayed by departmental advice in
the final analysis.
Father Twohy said it is important
that government not be swayed too
quickly by public opinion. He said in
a democracy we speak with reckless
abandon about something we know
nothing about, the tendency is to "do
it now, and though it is often diff
cult to get through an inertia to Gre
ate public opinion, once it is started
it is difficult to stop, therefore it
is necessary to have an informed |
public opinion.
A danger and tendency also, he
said, is toward materialism and not
to take sufficient heed of the in
terest of the majority. He recon-
mended patience, faith and knowl-
edge, and avoid taking the easy
solution, the soft way in an at
tempt to avoid sacrifice.
DR.. Renne said the UN must be
strong, that only small portion of
the money we spend goes for techni-
cal assistance where the big job is
to transform antiquated agrarian So
cieties into industrial self-sufficient
societies. He said vital ingredient
is patience because in some areas it
may take quarter to half century
to accomplish.
IS THERE A COMMON PATH?
In panel of speakers on the ques-
ion of Can Our Pathways Meet, Ash
said they can and in
many instances they have. He said
understanding is needed everywhere.
lie suggested move on the pathway
night be to abolish passports, eventu- :
lily, as we'll as exchange visits and :
he discussion among people of diff
erent races and nationalities.
Rustin said people want peace but Z
lon't know what the ingredients are e
o achieve it, then greater still they c
ont want to do the things necessary a
o bring it about. He said we are
aced with "balance of terror. Il
Father Twohy said we need some c
asis for durable agreement. He said o
is a question of survival and we II
aust enter into negotiations on the o
asis of common desires, and to do
hat we have to recognize rights, ne 1 I
otiate in good faith and not be too q
uick to say the Russians are wrong. p
RE WE SEEKING JUSTICE? :.
The question of "what is justice"
as discussed on the definitions put P
orth by Rev. Twohy and Bayard a:
ustin. E
About justice, Rev. Twohy said: w
A just society is that which makes pr
common contribution of each of re
hat he can give and return to each to
ccording to his ability to make use OF
them. He said it is harmonious CO. it.
oeration, and justice, freedom and
right are just due not be- sa
ause it is popular, but because we ce
axe our lives on the right, and in or
efense of right it is not wrong to in
sort to physical violence. tn
