War Prevention Council To
Educate Public For Peace
Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-The National
Council for Prevention of War,
after working twenty years to prevent
"the incalculable disaster that has
come upon our nation and the world,"
will now "without obstructing the war
effort, study the complex problems
that will confront us in the post-war
world and educate public opinion for
a peace that will be lasting," says a
statement issued by Frederick J. Libby,
executive secretary.
"Vital institutions must be estab-
lished to meet the recognized needs of
the world such as economic collabora-
tion, equitable access to raw materials
and markets, tariff regulation, mone-
tary stability, the abandonment of im-
perialism, and progressive world dis-
armament" out of which should develop
"a world authority of some sort that
will be equally acceptable to all peo-
ples." Education on these lines "de-
volves necessarily upon peace organiza-
tions and local peace councils and com-
mittees, and must go steadily on
through the war in our country as it
has in Great Britain and as our State
Department has already urged," the
statement declares.
