New world order won't take place To the Editor: I wish to d,h Some of us recall how the bor people burned their inadequately to the latest American war, Like so many other people, I too, am numb, with the horror that this war represents. Just last year there were events that seemed to tell us, that a better world was in the making, that it was possible to pull down the barriers. And now we have this horrible war. T agree with W.J. Lebédoff that - some things have changed, we do have big peace dem in fire arms in the last century, in “ opposition to militarism and War. They paid dearly for that act of civil disobedience, some with their lives, some with economic destruc- tion, exile. But little bas changed since then. Here, in paraphrase is one verse from their bymnal, as true now as ever: The holly teaching is known to all, yet most people don’t live to it, the man is many countries, and we are'no | longer thrown into’ dark dungeons, or burned at the stake, if we prove of powers that be, But aside from that, little has changed. I for- got who it was that made this state-. ment, when asked about humanity's progress “yes we have progressed” he said. “We are not eating each other any more.” There you have it, a slight exaggeration, but otherwise right on. Human history has been an end- less battle ground, and there need be no expectation that somehow we will quictly slip into a new world order, it will not happen. exploited, the powerful go unop- , posed, and the tears of ordinary people flow and flow ... You will remember that some 2500 years ago there was Lastse in China, who also had some shinny ideas about life, human society and government, but was told to shut- up, or ship out. He left the capital, ridding into the sunset on a bor- rowed ox, never to retum. About he same time in India, Buddha preached the Noble Law of Ahim- sa or non injury towards all beings. Five hundred years later we have the Man from the West bank. He spoke against the powers of the time, for that he died at the cross.

Tolstoy was, excommuni- cated by the holly, syned, for ele- vating Gospels above the rituals of the church. His writings on social justice and christian life were never printed. The common thread down the ‘ages is this: how to protect the interests of the privileged class, they have this idea that resources of the planct belong to them, that humanity itself is there to serve their interests, Whether it is the terrible exploitation of the peasant in feudal Europe, or the inhuman condition of the copper miner in Bolivia, or whole sale extermina- Vietnam, or.grabbing land for United Fruit Co, in Central Ameri- ca, or oil in Persian Gulf, or dis- possessing the native people of this country,’ the intention is the same, how to protect the interests of the privileged class, How to take the resources from the right- ful owners, the war in the Gulf is -just one more detail in the long chain of inhumanities, The question to me is not so much about peace, but how can I disassociate myself from activities that perpetuate war and exploita- tion. how to rise above the Polistes hypocrisy and greed. Anton Skerbine Pass Creek Better now than later To the Editor: It is not without considerable feeling for the difficult position of those who—like yourself—have children in great danger in the Persian Gulf — and not without a prayer for the well-being of those young people themselves — that I continue to speak cut against this The Deal Makin’ Man’s © 1976 Corvette Coupe Ratt ccoeed by 1977 Ford F150 4X4 1986 Ford Fi50 1990 Mercury Topaz.
