Page Two SKYSCRAPER Today's Builders of Security Are Tomorrow's Citizens of Peace There is a new world to be made by those who want to live at peace, a world freed from the bonds of intolerance, ignorance, and misunderstanding. Today, and every day this week, through the Institute for the Study of the United Nations Charter, Mundelein College students have unequalled opportunity to share in the plan for world-life. We cannot wait for tomorrow to take up global citizenship. It is ours now with all its privileges and responsibilities. We cannot decide to band together in one world. Our course was set for us when science and industry compressed geo graphical distance to be determined in hours, not miles. This week's Institute is designed to help us grow up to our new roles. As its originators and as hostesses for all its sessions, our in terest and enthusiasm will be the touchstone of its success for the entire Chicago community and for guests from nearby colleges. The ultimate purpose of the Institute has a greater range than we can possibly imagine. American college students today are ambassa dors of peace for a country which has spent over 170 years in be coming a united nation. All races and nationalities, customs and cultures, ideas and ideals have fused into a corporate body of states under one constitution. America learned many lessons about unity during her stormy history lessons destined to make her the natural leader in the conjoining of nations. As Americans, we must not withdraw from that responsibili ty. If we do, the United Nations will make its grave beside the League of Nations of World War I. While the discard of the League over two decades ago was abetted by its own imperfect structure, by isolationism strengthened through war losses, and by political and economic antagonisms, the death blow came through apathy and ignorance. Its better points were little studied for possibilities to perfect and develop the structure; few attempts were made to modify personal attitudes toward its proposals. A plan for world government cannot work by itself. It is not con ceived by itself. As it is made by men, so must it be put into force by its makers. The world of today is our world, and its government is our rule. To keep it strong for tomorrow, we must correct our mistake of yesterday. Until we know what the Charter is, we have no right to make wild prophecies of its results or to assume leadership. We have no right to criticize the work of present peace efforts until we realize their virtues, discover their faults, and, by careful thought, devise counter-proposals closer to the ideal we all desire. The Institute for the Study of the United Nations Charter gives us the privilege to lead in the search for basic knowledge about our world and its proposed government a privilege that will give us a headstart on the lasting pea .e we have dreamed for tomorrow. Justice Exonerates Yugoslav Prelate Justice is depicted as blindfolded, weigh ing the scales impartially, but it is neither deaf nor dumb. Though slandered in one court, it will have its verdict recognized internationally. Last week, Yugoslavia saw the perver sion of the global standard of justice. Un der the vague charge of being an enemy of the people, a man who has given his life to God and to his people was con victed by a pseudo People's court. More than just a citizen of the state, Archbishop Alojzuc St'epinac is the spirit ual father of Yugoslavia's Catholics. The mock trial is not extraordinary; it is an integral part of Tito's well organized ' religious persecution. 11 Throughout the trial, the prelate insist ed : My conscience is clear. Refusing to testify in his own behalf. Archbishop (Stepinac was sentenced to 16 year of hard c labor and deprived of all rights for five : years. The Yugoslav government which con- ' victed him has been objecting to alleged abuses of democratic principles by some of the United Nations; yet within its own borders it flagrantly violates global ethics. As a member of the United Nations, Yugoslavia itself is bound to observe the Charter, which reaffirms faith in the fun- damental human rights. These include freecTrHu. of speech, of worship, of fair trial. The Catholic world is protesting this sabotage of religion and of personal right. Catholic students, as a part of that world; 2 gt;U y0u JC now His Eminence Samuel Cardinal Stritch, Archbishop of Chicago, is to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of his consecration as bishop on Nov. 19? America, one of the largest contributors to the foreign missions, is in need of mis sionaries here at home, particularly in the 33 counties of Mississippi that have no Catholic building of any kind? . . . Only one Negro in every three is a Church mem- Icr and only one in 200 is a Catholic. Pope Pius XII appointed a Refugee Bishop for Germans expelled from eastern territories annexed by Poland and the Sov iet Union? The Refugee Bishop is the Most Reverend Maximilian Kaller, Bishop of Ermland, expelled by the Nazis from his diocese in East Prussia. The first Chinese minister to the Vatican has been appointed? He is Dr. John Wu, noted convert and author of a religious treatise. The Science of Love. Dr. Wu was educated in the United States, and achieved recognition for scholarship at Harvard, Chi cago, and Michigan. must share in the fight for justice. The Student Activities Council has al ready entered a protest. Letters from each student to the U. S. State Department, to the United Nations General Assembly, meeting in New York, to the Yugoslav ambassador in Washington a protest from the Institute for Study of the United Nations Charter these, our weapons, united with similar pressure from millions of fair-minded people, may help to rein state justice and to free an innocent man.
