The general assembly of the
United Nations has been in ses
sion now for nine weeks. Only
few days has its activity altrac
ted much attention.
The pattern of world affairs
•today is not nihe pattern of
peace, but the pattern of vio
lence and threat of violence.
In a world where men have
reasoned their way to at least,
a partial understanding of the
universe, they still seem far a
way from the wisdom needed
to arrange their polii.ioal af
fairs.
The French are pouring
troops ini.o an effort to halt ter
rorism in Morocco. There’s
flighting in the streets of Bom
bay. Indonesian government
troops fight sporadically with
rebel forces throughout the is
lands.
The British are having do re
new their military campaigns
against communist guerilla
forces in Malaya, and meetj
rioting on Cyprus with force.
Men are dying almost daily
along the Egyptian-Israeli bor
der and ithere is definite threat
of war.
Remnants of Vietminh com
munist forces are still fighting

the fashion of bandits.
In Latin-Ameriea the two
most powerful count, ries, Ar

In South Africa natives are
forcibly removed from their
homes as a nationalist govern
ment seeks no establish what
the United States is trying so
hard to disestablish — racial
segregation.
The Russian government
still considers ithat its only
good opponents are dead op
ponents, although there will be
little world sympathy for the
late Lavrenty Beria’s secre: po
lice aides.
This list of physical violences
which could be expanded with
only a little research, is. how
ever, merely a symptom as
compared with the underlying
violence of though); which per
vades world affairs. The only
wonder is that, after ten years
of the .most grueling tensions,
the list has not been shortened
to one all encompassing vio
lence — World War.
The only bright note in the
world today is that the nanions
are all afraid of war. Perhaps
that will give time for the sub
stitution of reason. Buit force
still seems to shackle human
imagination.

JOEL CAMPBELL WRITES ,
FROM WASHINGTON
Stating a letter to the puib-;
lishers of the Sitka Sentinel
might ibe the best way to tell
everyone in Sitka “just how .
much I enjoyed seeing you all;
again,” Joel Campbell writes: |
“To me it was just like old
hoime week and it did my heart
good to walk up and down the
old avenue once more, greet
ing friends. Wonderful is a
bout the only way 1 know how
tp describe it. Only those who
really 'know Sitka and move
away can truly appreciate the
hospitality of its people. I’m
certain that I can qualify in
that group.
“After leaving Sitka I spent
a few days in Seattle, a day
or so in San ©ielgo and La Jol
la, California and then a few
days in Tucson, Arizona. Last
Sunday I got (back to Washing
ton. The entire trip was 'won
derful and 1 enjoyed every
minute of it.
“Again let me thank you all
for the very warm reception
you gave me and I hope that
I’ll have the opportunity of
■ repeating the visit in Ithe very
; near future.”
i (Mr. Campbell also sends his
' best regards to all his friends.

CLUB OPEN DAILY
Thanksgiving is a day and an idea peculiar to the New World. With our Can
adian neighbors — who celebrate it in October — we set this season aside to
commemorate no battles, victories or heroes, but the simple fact that the Lord
has been good to us. It is a day celebrated happily and expansively, yet simply
and devoutly, too, with grateful minimum of commercialization.
While Thanksgiving, as we know it, is North American, its roots go back to
Bible times. The Old Testament related that the ancient Jews built booths
(succah) in the autumn and in these leafy bowers they feasted and thanked God
for a bountiful harvest. So it is insporing to know that we, like the prophets of
old, can turn from our daily occupations to thank our Creator for a good year
and ask His blessings on the year to come.
