The good tidings of Christmas are that
Peace and Goodwill shall prevail. The
challenge of the New Year will be “To
beat swords into plowshares.”
The universal symbol of peace is the
plowshare—the dream of all men of good-
will is to beat swords into plowshares.
They work for a scheme of things where
Peace and Plenty shall dominate the lives
of men.
Peace brings its problems as does war
Plenty also presents problems, but surely
more acceptable and more easily handled
than problems caused by scarcity.
The production of food and effective
demand cannot be kept in balance:
farmers are faced with too many uncon-
trollable factors. In maintaining a supply
of foodstuffs to feed the world it is in-
evitable that surpluses will occur.
Abundance, even with its problems, is
much to be preferred to scarcity.
