Lord Lothian, British Ambassador to United States says: The leaders of Democracy in Europe have for the first time come to recognize the real root of Europes troubles and that federation is the basic remedy for them. Some form of economic federation, perhaps even of political federation, is a necessary condition for any stable world order. Premier Sikorsky, the man who heads the of the Poland, declares: There must be a consolidated Europe. Likewise Pope Puis XII approves some plan after this order. Ail are talking peace, while hesitating to launch on any broad offensive. A Federated Europe, a Consolidation of Nations a Continental Union, such expressions as used by speakers and writers of today take us back to 1849 to the words of Victor Hugo as recorded in the minutes of the International Gathering of Peace Societies in Paris of that year. Hugo was the foremost poet and novelist of his age, one of the most impressive literary figures of all time.

Theres a vision of PEACE which the world ought to get. It takes about 100 years for an idea to be born. Maybe that idea is really coming forth now, out of the struggle and suffering of war, and WORLD TEACE NOW Shrivers No Blackout Of Mercy In the face of disconcerting evidence to the contrary, there still exists a feeling of sympathy between, the nations of the world today. It is dramatically portrayed when a transport plant loaded with medical supplies purchased by the people of the United States flies from London to aid the stricken Finns. It i3 heightened when a Red Cross chapter volunteer in some remote midwestern city of this country knits a sweater for some Polish child huddled in a refugee camp beyond the frontier of his native land. A cohesive spirit of sympathy among nations 75 years ago when representatives of 16 countries signed the Geneva Convention and founded the international Red Cross. Today, 63 nations are signatory to that treaty proving that mercy not only is an ideal but, paradoxically, a workable scheme in a world of conflict. As a nation embracing the largest Red Cross unit in the international network of societies, it was only natural that the United States was among the first spontaneously to offer assistance at the outbreak of hostilities. Europes war was but a few hours old when the American Red Cross mobilized its forces of mercy. In four month of war, hundreds of thousands of dollars have been spent for medicines and emergency supplies abroad. Local chapters in American cities have made more than a million surgical dressings and approximately a quarter million articles of clothing for refugees. It is encouraging that such an expression of mercy comes at a time when it most is needed. Death may fall from the skies on Helsinki again tomorrow, but there shall be no blackout of mercy. Already cargoes of relief supplies have left our ports to help relieve the victims of Finlands month-ol- d conflict. It is fortunate the American Red Cross reached a peace-tim- e membership peak in its recent Roll Call. As an emergency organization, the test of its strength is its ability to remain constantly prepared. Through the flexibility of the American Red Cross, its daily programs of First Aid, Life Saving, Nursing, and other forms of service have continued unhindered. A reserve power lies ready to meet major disasters. It has been aptly remarked that the Red Cross emblem is the plus sign of civilization. A ration with more limn seven million Red Cross memliers contributing to fortify the forces of mercy is, in turn, well fortified against the forces of disintegration so much feared in the world today. crys-taliz- Adult Education in America is a wonderful process life-lon- g Style Leadership The Dionne quintuplets are going to live with their folks Papa and Mama Dionne and their seven sisters and brothers a nice little family of 12, in a big new house, with a school house connected near the home, and Papa Dionne being, like most fathers, able to say something about the religious training and education of his children.

The critical, questioning attitude of the people in a democracy readily sifts the output of propaganda from whatever source it comes, and rational, thinking public opinion weighs it and evaluates it with ease. The process of free discussion in public forums and in the free press of a democracy is the greatest guarantee of safety.

President Taylor, during series of addresses given during the conference, cited numerous instances of false impressions and wrong information being gathered by visitors among the Mormons, creating erroneous ideas concerning both the state of Utah and its people and their beliefs, on the part of many people who come to live here or to visit among the Mormons. The difficulty is, explained President Taylor, that Mormons are bashful, reticient, and fearful of forcing themselves or their beliefs on their nelghbois. At the same time they will sacrifice and spend thousands of dollars to send their boys and girls into the world to preach the "Truth away from home.
