'Nebraska's effort to spread in
formation about the United Na
tions is especially important,"
Harris said, "because the U. N. it
self does not have much money
to tell it's own story. A quarter
of a million dollars has been taken
out of the U.N.'s own information
division this year."'
"The United Nations." Harris
said, "required for its success the
hacking of millions who have
knowledge, failh, determination
and enthusiasm.
"We must do more for the
United Nations than sell the idea
that absence from war is it's only
job," Haii is added. "Peace is
more than freedom from war.
Peace is more than is implied in
the "Rest In Fcacc' inscription on
a tombstone. Peace is full living.
It's exciting.''
