In opening his remarks, Dr. Doman stressed the necessity of understanding the nature of the present war, what we are fighting for as well as what we are fighting against, in order to plari for the future of the world. We realize that we are fighting against Hitler and the axis, but we must also have something to fight for, a positive program, in order to carry on to the very end. We do not believe in but we fight to accomplish a definite purpose, the establishment of a just world order. Now, what kind of a world are we to establish? There are certain distinct differences between the first World war and the present one.

The first war was not a war of ideologies. It was a clash between economic interests. Few changes in our economic and political structure followed in its wake. In this war, the United Nations represent one ideology, the axis another. These ideologies have taken on the aspect of religions, in that they inspire men to die for a cause.

They are also the outgrowth of nationalism, that strong cultural emotion which operates as a compelling political force. If the United Nations are to accomplish their purpose the political system which they are to establish must be based on something greater than nationalism. Dr. Doman referred to the 20th century as the "age of world wars." These wars are not caused by personalities. The present war was not caused merely by Hitler or Mussolini.

War is a natura'l form of conflict, and other and worse world wars will come unless we adjust our political organization to technological realities. The present war became inevitable when, after the last war, we failed to take the steps necessary to prevent it; namely, the organization of an international police system to control aggression. "International Civil War" The attitude of the people of the world toward the war is not entirely dependent on nationalism. In a sense, this is an international civil war. There are people in England and in the United States who honestly wish to see the Nazis win because they regard totalitarianism as the wave of the future, while in Germany there are many who do not desire to see the Nazis wholly victorious, but desire a negotiated peace because they are not in sympathy with the Nazi ideology.

Thus, there is developed a conflict of loyalties, the government on one side and the conscience of the individual on the other. Further, many of the people are not optimistic about the nature of the world to come after the war and the majority are far from being aware of the needs of the future. Many are not yet convinced of the necessity for a world organization of any sort. We may lose the peace again and continue to do so until we come to the realization that a world organization is necessary and are willing to assume our share of the responsibility for operating it. Plans for such an organization have been made and are on the desks of the executives in London, in Washington, and in Moscow.

These plans envisage a police system controlled by the United Nations as a temporary measure, one to which each nation shall contribute its share and which later shall develop into a permanent world police, while differences between nations shall be adjusted by a world- court whose decrees the world police shall enforce. It will, of course, be impossible to institute such a system without eventually including Germany and Japan, whose citizens must be re-educated to induce a willing co-operation in the plan. Naturally, such a plan will not receive unanimous support, but some' such world organization is absolutely necessary if we are to avoid the periodic recurrence of world war on a greater and greater scale. There are fifth columnists at work who preach fear of communism in Russia, where little communism any longer exists, and others who cry out against British imperialism which is rapidly resolving itself into a commonwealth of nations, a very different matter. As a matter of fact, Russia will be more capit- alistiu and the United States less so after the end of the war.

If We Do Not Police, Hitler Will What are the possibilities In case no world organization is formed? Imperialism? A military alliance? The league, of nations? These have been tried and failed. An international police force is proving the only alternative to world war. Hitler has proved that it is possible to police and control the whole world. Through efficiency and a monopoly of arms, he controls Europe. Sabotage has not proved effective against his methods.

He can crush any revolt in a few days. He has proved thai he can police four hundred million people, keep the Brit' ish and Americans mil of Europe ami tight major war a I the same time. If Hitler wins the war thu Nazis will rule for ten decades through monopoly of arms and heavy industry. In addition to a police system, the United Nations need complete control of tiie heavy industries of the world; those enlaced in or convertible to munitions production Here again the Nazis point the way. They are dismantling and shipping such industries to Germany.

There they are safe from revolt, and, through the promise of belter living conditions, tlie loyally of ihe (ieriuau workers may be assured. Such heavily industrialized regions as Ucnn.uiy, Japan, Italy, are a seiious menace to the United Nations unless a world organization controls them. They must destroyed or moved to other less dangerous locations, to the axis nations other industries may be established which make fto contribution to war, Hie citiceni of the axis must be treated sanely but their empire must cease to exist. in the working out of such'plans. the united states must take a ing role.

In such a police, our quota would be some three hundred thousand soldiers, a far cry from the nine million needed to fight this war. Also, the facilities of transportation which are bound to come after the war will enable men to visit their homes easily, even though located in what seem to us now tant lands. We must nid also in other directions, in the organization of duction and consumption in order to equalize the distribution of goods and the molding of political power for the establishment of Justice and equity. This will require a moral as well as political and economic reconstruction changing our attitudes toward the world order and toward other nations. Dr.

Doman closed with the quotation from Lincoln that by our decisions now, we may either "nobly save or meanly lose the last hope of earth." Chancel Guild Musical Enjoyed Last Night At Second Presbyterian The lecture room of Second Presbyterian church was comfortably filled last evening for an entertaining musical program, by the Chancel Guild. Miss Rosellen Adamson, of the program committee announced the various numbers Miss Velma Wachlin, pianist, furnished admirable accompaniments for the singers and soloists.

Shaw Said To Have "Inside Track" For Federal Post According to news dispatches from Washington today it is reported in congressional circles that Judge Elwyn R.
