A dictionary definition of peace is ". . . Freedom fwan aiar «r heetilities . . . freedom from dis¬ turbances .^*^ security -J^*- In its purest " ie complet^ *orld peace is impossible. Why ? Be¬ cause the spirit of man is not free from disturbance. If it were we would already have peace. How¬ ever, there are things we can do to work toward a more peaceful relationship with our fellow na¬ tions.
World peace cannot be an im¬ mediate goal of this year, or next year, or of the next ten years. This would be a process which would consume a century or more. Some people might think this statement an absurdity, and that suggesting such a prolon^icd {dan is aimply delaying the issue; yet, a person cannot be at peace with his neigh¬ bors without being at peace with himself. This is also true of a na¬ tion, for a nation is made of peo¬ ple. In other words, we sho^d pacify each nation's internal af¬ fairs before trying immediately for world peace. Therefore, we must start from the interior of each nation and work our way to¬ ward the outside. This would in¬ volve a great deal of cooperation, but it could be done, if each na¬ tion were-able to accept a grrand scale World Peace Plan.
This theoretical plan to which I refer, if accepted, could possibly be completed in one hundred years, if mankind exerted his Utrilost energy, or it could extend centur¬ ies beyond. It has innumerable flaws, but flaws can be corrected to make a plan feasible, and one plan can -be incorporated with other plans to make it more com¬ plete. The plan I have outlined on the following pages is based on a one-hundred year period.
WORLD    PEACE    PLAN I. Internal Peace Plan (30 years)
A. Progrram    to    stress    world peace in schools
B. Progrram to reduce crime and urban deterioration
