LASTING PEACE
Sir, —Mr. Tom Bloodworth writeß as follows: —"Hitlerism had a cause or causes, and they must be removed or there will bo no lasting peace." Alas! Mr. Bloodworth is a cheerful optimist. When we destroy Hitlerism (and I am confident we will), no doubt thero will bo a lull, as after the last war. Man has fought as far back as we .can record. The whole of nature is at war. The sea and the jungle are, and have ever been, slaughterhouses. It is futile to refer to post-war problems until we are out of (he wood. The High Command of the Allies have warned us that it is a grave mistake to under-estimate the enemy. Everlasting peace may come at some remote period, but not in our time. Of course, it is our duty to work for such a desirable state of things. So far the whole pathway of man is one "clotted with blood and tears." And we are destined to tread that track for a period that no one can foresee. Herbert Mulvthill. Auckland, New Zealand.
