Sir,-The age we live in has seen the world brought. so close to- gather by technical progress that peace has become lndlvlsible. Realising this. the nations have set up the United Nations Organ- ization, which is the boldest at- tempt. yet. made by man to strug- gle out of international anarchy into world order and peace. As such, it. must. command our ful- less strpport. But. something evell beyond the present structure of the United Nations is needed. The world has become, in fact, a single community. and 3. firm basis for lasting and stable peace can only be found in the partial fusion of national sovereigntias in some form of world government con- trolling at least the use of arm- ed force.

This is often thought to be a distant prospect, almost irrelevant to our immediate problems. We believe this view to be mistaken. It is true that we can hardly hope to achieve an actual world gov- ernment with-ln the next few years. Nevertheless, its achievement is It task,' not for some vague future epoch. but. for a time which is, historically considered, the pre- sent.

Indeed. the choice is not what is commonly supposed. Unless civil- ization comrpletely destroys itself by war world government is in- evitalble as Arnold Toyn-bee, the famous historian, has said. The choice is only what. kind of gov- ernment, and whethu it shall come by persuasion or by con-

i

quest. with these conslderatiolls in mllld. there has been formed in

Canada a. national organization, "World Federalists of Canada", where formal object is: "To ob- tain support for the establishment of ii. competent world federal gov- ernmcn-t, with limited functions, hilt real powers adequate for the maintenance of peace.' Member- ship in this organization is open to all who support this object.

World Federallsts of Canada illll 5:23: to attain its object by discussion of the ideas for which it stands by supporting all practical measures which are steps towards the ulti- mate establishment of world gov- t-rnmlentt. While supporting to the full. therefore, the efforts of the United Nations to bring "out con- ditions favourable to peace, it feels that serious consideration should be given to the possibility of amending the U.N. Charter so as to improve its efficiency and give it more authority and paw- er, especially since this question must, under the Ohartex be rata- rd in the Assembly of 1955.

In some months we shall have federal general elections. In the circumstances it is inconceivable that any party would submit to the peaple a definite building pro- gram of medium priced houses in numbers sufficient to meet the needs of the pclpulatlon for some years ahead. All our federal polit- ical parties show a lack of social sense where that subject; is con- cerned. All that seems to interest them is to protect the interests of the "have" classes. The party that would have the courage to tackle

to control that machine if we give our consent. If we do not agree to His control of our thoughts, ihele is another influence, called "the enemy of souls" who stands ready to take over, and control our thinking. We'll mention one method he uses in poisoning the mind. This is the printing and of- fering for sale of filthy literature. We can find somewhere in the New Testament the words of Christ, warning ustofear who is able to destroy both sou and body in Hell. The Wonk that God ill at, now, is. the building of character. He also uses the print- ing press as I read about four new books every year and the last one is always the best. I'll recom- mend, ”Prayer the mightiest pow- er in the world' by Dr. Frank Laufbaoh, the man who has al- ready taught. 10 times as many people. to read, as any other per- son on earth. He tells how one's thougthta can. for lnstantoe, hinder or help at public speaker. As we think, so are we. Too many are thinking the mall selfish thoughts which force the moral world down l-lellward.

Personally. I could never quite forgive myself for calling them herring. They look like the real thing and they have the millions of bones to co their relation- ship with the salt water variety. but that. in my opinion. is as fal- as the similarity goes. No doubt. in a. pinch they would su.9t.aln life but the tangless frying-pan aroma "they produce is a far cry from that to which we are accustomed.

I ventured to suggest this to I. fishing oompalon in Northern Mlchiagan and he looked at me as if he thought I was Joldng. It was

there was such a thing as a salt water herring and even more dif- ficult to believe that anything taken from salt water could be edible. "I'd hate to eat anythdng that contained sea salt". he told ime, and I am sure he was con- vinced that. my years in Maritime surroundings had depraved my sense of taste very seriously. 0 . .

It is strange how a distance of only a thousand miles or so can change habits of taste so drastically. What. I have said about the herring applies to some other foods as well. Take timllps, llOl' example, Here the white variety is looked down on as absolutielly unfit. for food. In the American M.ld.d'le West it is the only lrlnd that people will eat. The type that is popular with us they give to he cattle. Any colour in a bum-ip. they will tell. you is an indication of non-ediblllty.

It is somewhat the same with potatoes. The wet; one is in popular demand. The dry one, which we prise so highly, is sometimes tale:-med for bulking purposes. hudly anyone would think of serving it. boiled. "No taste to it". is the usual comment. . .

No, i7here's no uniformity in taste. and perhaps it's ,ius't as well. Too much sameness could be just as deadening to the general welfare as too little, And, no doubt, even
