INTERNATIONAL POLICE.
When we consider the pros and cons of an international police force, it is helpful to relate it to our own local community.
All of us will admit that it is important to have local policemen. Even if our town was totally free from crime, we would feel that the presence of police are need to keep it that way.
If we project police needs a little further, we will realize the need of state police to handle problems of law and order which could not be handled practically by the police of various towns. Next we need federal policemen--the FBI--to fight crime on a national scale, original activities of an interstate nature.
And, as the world s brought closer together, with nations in closer contact with one another than our states used to be, it seems to follow that an international police force is becoming more and more necessary if we hope to prevent the greatest criminal action of all--war between nations.
