VICTORIES OF PEACE TO BE WON
Seasonal Reflections (6.30 p.m.) WASHINGTON. Dec. 24. President Truman, in a broadcast to the nation after turning on the lights of the White House Christmas tree, said: "This is the Christmas a warweary world has prayed for through long, awful years. We meet in the spirit of the first Christmas, when the midnight choir choir sang ‘Glory to God in the Highest and on Earth Peace and Good Will Toward Men.’ “With our enemies vanquished we must gird ourselves for the work that lies ahead. Peace has its victories no less hard won than success at arms. We must not fail or falter. We must strive without ceasing to make real Isaih’s prophecy: ‘They shall beat their swords into ploughshares, their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up the sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more’.”
