Those in opposition to Communism as presently practised in those countries embracing that faith, are asking them if Stalin peace overtures could be sincere and hold hope for real and permanent peace. ' The lessons of the past should provide a guide for the future. Let us then examine the record written in the history of the totalitarian states through the years, modern excerpts from which are the deliberately broken solemn pledges, the perversion of fact, the subversion of authority by criminal methods and the crude Nullification of western statesmen, so characteristic of Communist Russia, Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, as well as the Kaiser's regime in Germany.' All evidence points to the active support of the theories that ..the end justifies the means, whatever the end, whatever the means. Twice in the quarter century lying between 1 14 and 1930 we were the victims of our own Christian ethics, in that we trusted others to keep Agreements and promises as we would have kept "3.hem. Twice we suffered the. effects of our own weakness, and all humanity suffered with us. Again, the lesson of the past should provide a guide " for the future. - Continuous and lasting peace is our most cherished hope and would be humanity's greatest t achievement, but in this materialistic world it can-; not be attained without payment.
