Writer Believes AH Citizens
Should Help Build Our Future
(By Phillip G. Janies)
With the conclusion of four years
since America participated in the
greatest armed conflict of her his
tory, some thought should be given
occasionally to the part we take as
individual citizens in the building of
our future.
Because we can now sit back and
enjoy talking of our great military
victories, there should be no reason
for us to believe that such is all we
wanted from World War H. In fact,
it becomes clearer and clearer each ;
day that victories alone will not as
sure us that within twenty-five years
hence we shall not be participating in
another war. For this reason we
should make ourselves understand
that the real goal of this early post
war era is not to be found in the
security of opr military pofwer, but
is to be found in the creation and
establishment of a permanent and
just peace for the future.
We should also understand that
there is a vital necessity for careful
planning of this peace on the part
of all because modern warfare can
easily destroy all of us. Certainly the
cataclysmic destruction of this past
war. if viewed only in terms of losses
in lives and property, indicates the
nature of future conflicts that can
occur only too easily. In this new age
of science it has become necessary
for man to live in peace if he desires
to live.
We may ask, "What can I, an ordi
nary citizen, do to help promote
so great a cause as we have in the
form of building a lasting peace?"
Before answering that question, con
sider the fact that if it were possible
for the people of Germany and
Japan to almost destroy civilization,
certainly it must also be possible for
the people of all the democratic
nations to prepare a peace sound
enough to keep the world free from
war.
The making of such a peace can be
greatly assisted by us if we under
stand that the chief aims of World
War 11 were directed towards a de
termination to maintain our social
and political ideals and customs or
our way of lifeh Since the war ended
the central purpose of our part in
the struggle for a lasting peace has
been located in the determination
that not only this way of life must
survive but also freedom and fair
play for all men must be secured.
By understanding that we Amer
icans Cannot enjoy security, peace,
and economic well-being for our
selves unless other peoples in the
world likewise enjoy them, our goal
in making a proper peace can be
attained. If there were ever a great
cause, one worthy enough to call
forth the full effort, devotion and
intelligence of all men, it is the pres
ent cause of pease. Therefore, every
citizen of this nation can and Should
take an interest in the issues and
problems concerting the formation
of his future. That is one of the few
obligations he must fulfill if he de
sires to continue enjoying the pleas
ures of a democracy. An enlightened
pubnc can always serve as the
strongest harrier against any enemy
that may choose to deprive us of our
way of tiving whether it be through
war or other means.
Fortunateiy we in the United
States stand in a position of leader
ship in planning and making a future
peace which is unique because of our
possession of so rich and varied a
country. Other nations, whom we
consider friendiy toward us, respect
us because they can easily recognize
the desire we have to seek no per
sona! gains from the past war just as
we did not after the first worid war.
For these reasons this nation main
tains the position of the most power
fu] economic and poiitica! force in
today's worid. Because the worid de
mands the leadership we possess to
pian for the future, it is necessary
for us to dignify and exatt a simitar
strength in aiso becoming the most
powerful morai and educational in
fluence in building a peace for today
and the future. This task cannot be
met and accomplished, however, by
a mere handful of men and women. It
is one so great that it must be shared
by every home and become a matter
of interest to every citizen of the
nation. If nothing more is shown than
a respect for its importance as it
concrns the lives of ach of us, a
large stride will be taken towards the
formation of a peaceful future
world. Problems of an international
nature require the attention of every
one and should be freely studied and
discussed. Let it not be thought that
in a democracy matters of interna
tional significance are not subjects
for public opinion. As in matters of
domestic affairs, so in international
affairs experts may recommend, but
it is the public which will ultimately
decide. The public will decide upon
the greatest issue of our nation's
history, namely, what kind of a peace
we are to have now that World War
II has become an historical event —
a peace to last for generations to
come or a peace to give way to World
War III — a public that has a knowl
edge and understanding of what
makes this issue important to all of
us wtll make the best decision.
