Ever since the dawn of history, governments and their kings,
rulers, presidents or prime ministers, have "WORKED FOR PEACE."
They have STRIVEN for peace -- usually against each other. And
there has never been any peace!
Most of our Co-Workers know that I attended the entire weeks'
long San Francisco Conference, 26 years ago, as an accredited press
correspondent. The Charter of the United Nations was drawn up
there. The outstanding speech during the plenary sessions, in my
opinion -- and that of many -- was made by General Carlos P. Romulo
of the Philippines.
I again met General Romulo in his office last Monday in
Manila. He is now Minister for Foreign Affairs in the government.
He called the announcement of President Nixon's visit to Chou
En-lai "a diplomatic breakthrough of great significance to Asia and
to the world." More about my meeting with him in the Personal
page of the September PLAIN TRUTH.
Co-Workers, with all this fighting for PEACE -- struggle for
Peace -- work for Peace -- carried on by nations and armies for
thousands of years, do you realize that YOU are having a part in
doing more to bring about WORLD PEACE than any nation, any
government, or any army in history?
Does that sound like a boast? IT ISN'T!
There has to be a CAUSE for every result. There is a CAUSE
for wars, and strife, and violence. There is a WAY that brings
PEACE! But, as you read in Isaiah 59:8, "The way of peace they
know not." I repeat again and again: There is a great MISSING
DIMENSION in human knowledge. That MISSING DIMENSION is the
knowledge revealed by the living Creator God. WE KNOW THE WAY
TO PEACE! We do not fight and struggle to produce peace by war,
by violence, by force. We PROCLAIM THE WAY THAT IS THE CAUSE OF
PEACE WORLDWIDE TO 150-MILLION READERS, LISTENERS, AND VIEWERS!
We set the living example on our three college campuses. Even
powerful men in high position in important nations are beginning
to recognize that we are actually doing more for world peace than
anyone or any government or any activity!
Right now preliminary plans are being considered, and made,
for me to fly into Red China for a personal meeting with the
Minister of Education. For 20 years Communist China has been
teaching its hundreds of millions of people that the United
States, especially, is the big bad "whipping boy" in the world.
I am wondering if Mr. Nixon will insist that IF there is to be
peace and friendship between the peoples of China and the United
States, each country will have to REEDUCATE its people to have
an attitude of LOVE toward the other, not of HATE! I may decide
to ask the Minister of Education -- PRIOR to Mr. Nixon's visit --
if he is prepared to let me tell our readers and radio listeners
and TV viewers that the Peoples' Republic of China is actually
going to reverse its education of its people in that regard.
I have never felt it advisable for me to enter Russia. We
