ment limited. Even so, one quickly agrees with Sir Walford's de- claration: "Man is man the world over. Broadcast truth can assuredly do better for every nation than the swiftest bombers."
Moreover, those who would. mobilise forces of positive peace- making are not dependent on the radio. As the result of a series of bitter lessons, "man the world over" is being forced to con- sider some new-old truths about himself. For instance, he begins to awaken to his interdependence with his brother man and to de- duce therefrom dependence on a common Father. Such truths as these do not have to be broad- cast, for they are everywhere and common to all; and as wit- nesses to them continue to multi- ply, the still small voice carries over land and sea to "earth's re- motest bound.”
