MANNAM Peace News: Okinawa Memorial. May it inspire peace.
During the Okinawa Battle of World War II more than 200,000 people lost their lives. The picture shows a part of Peace Memorial Park called the Cornerstone of Peace. The names of everyone who died in the battle are carved into the walls. How tragic that so many had to lose their lives. And how impressive that the response was to create a memorial that inspires peace.
The picture shows a broad road leading towards the Cornerstone of Peace. But, roads can be traveled on in either direction. People can walk toward this or they can walk away from it. Likewise, we have numerous choices in which we can step away from or step toward peace. Let's remember those who have fallen as a result of war and take step toward peace.

SPAM Gift Sets: Thoughtful if Understood
The other day I was talking to someone in the States about gifts that people give and receive for Chuseok. One of the gifts I mentioned that took her by surprise was SPAM. Another gift I have seen foreigners surprised by is common toiletries. In the States SPAM is considered low quality meat that most people avoid, and a gift of toiletries might be taken as a sign that the receiver has not been bathing or brushing his teeth enough.
In Korea, however, SPAM complements several common stews and stir-fries well. It isn't cheap either. The grooming products are practical and meant as kind of a "I hope you are well and taking care of yourself."
What might seem peculiar on first glance is actually thoughtful and useful if the giver's heart and context is understood. I enjoy talking with friends about differences like this across cultures. Learning how other people think and act is interesting and can open our minds to see things differently. How great would it be if whenever we saw something "strange" we took the time to find out what is really going on? In terms of peace, that would be a step in the right direction.

Recalling Lee Man Hee's Cornerstone of Peace on the 220th Anniversary of U.S. Capitol Cornerstone.
Sometimes I like to look at what happened on a given day in history. It is a good excuse to take a look back and see how society has progressed (and regressed). Exactly 220 years ago today, George Washington laid the cornerstone of the United States Capitol. This building "symbolizes the will & strength of the American people and the principles of modern democracy". I wonder if people realized the U.S. Capitol would mean all that it means today, 220 years later.
http://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/on-this-day/
As I think about this act, I am reminded of another historic event that I was privileged to be a part of just over a year ago. On September 16, 2012 I was saw Man Hee Lee and members of MANNAM lay a cornerstone for world peace. That day was the World Peace Festival, Culture and Sports Celebration of Restoring Light. This event portrays the will and strength of Mr. Lee and members of Mannam, as well as the promise of world peace.
Without
regards to nationalities, religion, or status in society, 500 celebrities from
Korea as well as abroad, 50 broadcasting companies from 20 nations, and
approximately 200,000 people from all over the world gathered at the Seoul Jamsil
Olympic Stadium. The torch flames were
lit for the first time since South Korea hosted the 24th Olympic
Games on September 17.
This festival the commencement of the world peace movement to the
world. Just as it is
mentioned in Mannam's motto, "When light meets light, there is
victory," and just as the heavens give light, rain, and air to all without
cost, Mannam desires to shed light into the dark parts of the world so that
world peace and restoration become a reality.
The
unveiling ceremony of the WPI (World Peace
Initiative) monument also took place at the festival. The monument was made up of 8,000 people’s
messages of hope for world peace and restoration of light.
For the closing ceremony, performances of light
were consecutively followed with the message of everyone becoming delegations
of world peace and meeting the light of Mannam to light up the darkened world
and overcome.
The laying of the cornerstone of the U.S. Capitol was a significant day in history. I am confident that in years to come people will look back on the World Peace Festival, Culture and Sports Celebration of Restoring Light as a cornerstone of the world peace the festival and those involved are ushering in.

MANNAM Peace News : S. Korea won't forget your help in Korean war to New Zealand war veterans
South Korean President Park, Gun-Hye had a summit with John Key Prime Minister of New Zealand promoted cooperation of two countries. John Key Prime Minister visited S. Korea to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the cease-fire agreement. S. Korea President Park, Gun-Hye appreciated the noble sacrifice of New Zealander veterans of the Korean war and it led South Korea could keep free democracy and has the current success. Especially she spoke with emphasis that the New Zealand soldiers were less than 10,000 people totally but 6,000 people took a part in Korean war and the Korean war veterangs have awarded scholarships to the young in Ga-pyoung area where was the hard-fought field. And she spoke that it is so moving and Korean people won't forget your dedication and support.
New Zealand (/njuːˈziːlənd/; Māori: Aotearoa [aɔˈtɛaɾɔa]) is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The country geographically comprises two main landmasses ‒ that of the North and South Islands ‒ and numerous smaller islands. New Zealand is situated some 1,500 kilometres (900 mi) east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and roughly 1,000 kilometres (600 mi) south of the Pacific island nations of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. Because of its remoteness, it was one of the last lands to be settled by humans. During its long isolation, New Zealand developed a distinctive biodiversity of animal, fungal and plant life; most notable are the large number of unique bird species. The country's varied topography and its sharp mountain peaks owe much to the tectonic uplift of land and volcanic eruptions.
Polynesians settled New Zealand in 1250–1300 CE and developed a distinctive Māori culture, and Europeans first made contact in 1642 CE. The introduction of potatoes and muskets triggered upheaval among Māori early during the 19th century, which led to the inter-tribal Musket Wars. In 1840 the British and Māori signed a treaty making New Zealand a colony of the British Empire. Immigrant numbers increased sharply and conflicts escalated into the New Zealand Wars, which resulted in much Māori land being confiscated in the mid North Island. Economic depressions were followed by periods of political reform, with women gaining the vote during the 1890s, and a welfare state being established from the 1930s. After World War II, New Zealand joined Australia and the United States in the ANZUS security treaty, although the United States later suspended the treaty. New Zealanders enjoyed one of the highest standards of living in the world in the 1950s, but the 1970s saw a deep recession, worsened by oil shocks and the United Kingdom's entry into the European Economic Community. The country underwent major economic changes during the 1980s, which transformed it from a protectionist to a liberalised free trade economy; once-dominant exports of wool have been overtaken by dairy products, meat, and wine.
The majority of New Zealand's population is of European descent; the indigenous Māori are the largest minority, followed by Asians and non-Māori Polynesians. English, Māori and New Zealand Sign Language are the official languages, with English predominant. Much of New Zealand's culture is derived from Māori and early British settlers. Early European art was dominated by landscapes and to a lesser extent portraits of Māori. A recent resurgence of Māori culture has seen their traditional arts of carving, weaving and tattooing become more mainstream. The country's culture has also been broadened by globalisation and increased immigration from the Pacific Islands and Asia. New Zealand's diverse landscape provides many opportunities for outdoor pursuits and has provided the backdrop for a number of big budget movies.
New Zealand is organised into 11 regional councils and 67 territorial authorities for local government purposes; these have less autonomy than the country's long defunct provinces did. Nationally, executive political power is exercised by the Cabinet, led by the Prime Minister. Queen Elizabeth II is the country's head of state and is represented by a Governor-General. The Queen's Realm of New Zealand also includes Tokelau (a dependent territory); the Cook Islands and Niue (self-governing but in free association); and the Ross Dependency, which is New Zealand's territorial claim in Antarctica. New Zealand is a member of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, Commonwealth of Nations, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, Pacific Islands Forum, and the United Nations.

Such a peace maker country, New Zealand.
My personal favorite country, New Zealand.
I would love to go back to New Zealand and do good work for peace in MANNAM volunteer association.

MANNAM Peace News : What MANNAM and the world want to achieve for Syria
G8 backs urgent Syria peace talks in Geneva
G8 leaders meeting in Northern Ireland have backed calls for Syrian peace talks to be held in Geneva "as soon as possible".
After adopting a statement, UK Prime Minister David Cameron said the leaders had managed "to overcome fundamental differences".
But no timetable for the Geneva talks was given.
The statement does not mention what role Syrian President Bashar al-Assad could play in the future.
Russia is backing President Assad, while the US and its European allies are supporting the rebels.
Earlier on Tuesday, the Kremlin insisted that each of the Syrian sides at the Geneva talks should be able to select their own delegations, sidestepping questions about whether this could leave open a role for Mr Assad.
The communique is largely a reaffirmation of what was said at the Geneva Conference in June 2012, reports the BBC's Jonathan Marcus at the summit in Enniskillen.
Sending signal
The G8 leaders agreed the joint statement on Syria after lengthy discussions at the end their two-day summit.
The seven-point document says that any future transitional government should be "formed by mutual consent".
It stresses that the leaders are united in wanting a negotiated and peaceful end to the conflict that will produce a government "under a top leadership that inspires public confidence."
However, both Russia and the West could interpret such phrasing as their diplomatic success at the summit, correspondents say.
The Kremlin refused to support any statement making Mr Assad's removal from power an explicit goal.
But speaking to reporters after the summit, President Putin said he did not feel "isolated" in Enniskillen despite clashing with other leaders.
At the same time, Mr Cameron pledged at a separate news conference "to learn the lessons from Iraq" by making sure key institutions of the state are maintained through any transition.
The prime minister said it was important to send a signal to the Syrian people that there would be a functioning state once Mr Assad was gone.
This could be seen as encouragement to the Assad supporters perhaps to begin thinking about a future without him, says our correspondent.
The joint statement also condemns "any use of chemical weapons in Syria" and urges both Damascus and the rebels at the Geneva conference "to commit to destroying and expelling from Syria all organisations and individuals affiliated to al-Qaeda and any other non-state actors linked to terrorism".
On the humanitarian front, the G8 leaders agreed to provide nearly $1.5bn (£960m) in new funds to help people affected by the raging conflict.
More than 4.25 million people have been displaced since the Syrian conflict began in March 2011.
More than 90,000 people have been killed, according to UN estimates.
In Enniskillen, the leaders also signed a declaration committing themselves to "fight the scourge of tax evasion" and promote free trade.
Vladimir Putin: Russia and US to draft Syria peace plan
Russia and the US will be responsible for drafting the "underlying principles" of a settlement to help end the Syrian crisis, the Russian president has confirmed.
Speaking at the end of the two-day summit in Northern Ireland, Vladimir Putin said some G8 members had agreed with the Russian position, that there was no proof that the ruling Assad regime had used chemical weapons, but that there were cases of opposition forces being caught with them.
The Russian president said that all evidence would be presented to the UN Security Council with Russia, as a permanent member, "actively assessing the situation".

How sad it is!
How miserable what's been happening to the people, especially kids in Syria!
You have no known person in Syria?
Still I and you live in the same world.
Do you and do I think this such civil war in Syria is none of our business?
You know the answer if you have heart as human-being.
Why don't we make time to have peace talk?
Why don't we find some group which consider peace as the most valuable and the necessary in the world?

MANNAM peace news : Run for Peace(1)
He's been running all his life, running for freedom, running for peace.
It started when he ran away from home at the age of eight.
Later he ran away from his homeland, Iran, and spent seven years on a bicycle, pedaling 49,700 miles across 55 countries.
In 2002, he reached America.
He now lives in a tent in Death Valley.
It's been nearly 10 years since Reza Baluchi escaped from Iran.
He has run across the United States twice and around its perimeter once.
He sets out on every journey with the same mission: to spread a message of world peace.
Baluchi plans to begin his next extended run in Israel and finish atop the highest peak on earth -- Mount Everest.
His route will take him through the Middle East, including Iran.
He'd be going home for the first time since escaping on his bike.
"I got tired of having no freedom," he said.
"I would wear a t-shirt and they would stop me. I'd grow out my hair and they'd make me cut it. I traveled out of the country with the cycling team and never came back."
Baluchi grew up in the northern Iranian city of Rasht, the youngest of eight children including a brother permanently traumatized by his service in the Iran-Iraq war.
His family barely made a living from their rice farm.
He would run seven miles to school, and back home, every day.
Baluchi ran away from home after upsetting his mother and getting a beating. He fled on foot, running more than 300 miles to Isfahan where he stayed with his aunt and uncle and continued his schooling.
Despite his young age, Baluchi helped support that family by working as a mechanic, running another 14 miles to work after class each day.
His athletic abilities didn't go unnoticed; he was recruited to join the national cycling team at 14.
Baluchi cycled and won numerous competitions through his teen years.
He also fell away from Islam, the state-sponsored religion of Iran.
He says he was a peaceful activist -- and got in trouble for associating with dissidents.
At 19, he was arrested by a government militia known as the Basij for eating during Ramadan, the holy month when Muslims are expected to fast.
Baluchi was wearing a Michael Jackson t-shirt and carrying "banned pre-revolutionary videotape" -- a romantic movie.
He says he spent the next 45 days imprisoned in a torture cell.
"Every day they tortured me," Baluchi said.
"They broke my shoulder; I cried.
They would hit me with a baton and burn me with skewers."
He says he was frequently beaten unconscious and, on some occasions, hung from a tree by his wrists.
"My hands had turned completely black from the dead blood; I thought I would have to cut them off. Every day I prayed that I die. Every day I would cry. I thought it would be better if they just killed me so I wouldn't have to suffer."
After questioning his family and investigating his intentions, Baluchi says the Basij deemed him essentially harmless.
He was removed from the torture cell, and spent the next 18 months jailed under less threatening conditions.

MANNAM peace news : Mandela’s progress ‘remarkable’ as world celebrates his 95th birthday
South Africa: Mandela’s progress ‘remarkable’ as world celebrates his 95th birthday
The health of former president Nelson Mandela is “steadily improving”, while Barack Obama sends his family’s wishes for Madiba’s 95th birthday.
“Madiba remains in hospital in Pretoria, but his doctors have confirmed that his health is steadily improving,” spokesperson Mac Maharaj said in a statement.
Mandela was admitted into a Pretoria hospital on June 8 with a recurrent lung infection.
Until now, his condition has been described as critical but stable.
Zuma said: “On behalf of government and all the people of South Africa, we wish Madiba a joyous 95th birthday … We are proud to call this international icon our own as South Africans and wish him good health.”
Zindzi Mandela said her father was making “remarkable” progress in hospital.
“He responds very well … with his eyes, and he nods and sometimes he lifts his hand like to shake your hand,” she told Britain’s Sky News on Wednesday.
‘He continues to amaze us’ “There was a time that we were all extremely anxious and worried, and we were prepared for the worst,” said Zindzi. “But he continues to amaze us every day.”
“We thank all our people for supporting Madiba throughout the hospitalisation with undying love and compassion,” said President Jacob Zuma on Thursday.
“We also thank all for responding to the call to give Madiba the biggest birthday celebration ever this year.”
Last week, former president Thabo Mbeki also suggested Mandela might be discharged from hospital soon.
Meanwhile, US President Barack Obama paid warm tribute to Mandela for his birthday.
Obama’s message came as admirers around the world prepared to honour the former South African president’s legacy with a wave of charitable acts.
Obama, who visited South Africa last month but was unable to see Mandela because of his illness, was fulsome in his praise of the former statesman.
“Our family was deeply moved by our visit to Madiba’s former cell on Robben Island during our recent trip to South Africa, and we will forever draw strength and inspiration from his extraordinary example of moral courage, kindness, and humility,” Obama said in a statement.
Mandela Day In 2009, July 18 was declared as Mandela Day to honour the former statesman, with people encouraged to dedicate 67 minutes of their time to nation-building and charity in recognition of his service towards securing democracy and restoring human dignity.
Obama called on people to honour the elderly leader by taking part in Nelson Mandela Day on Thursday, when admirers around the world will uphold his legacy with charitable acts.
Biker gangs will clean the streets, volunteers will paint schools and politicians will spend 67 minutes on worthy projects – all to mark Mandela’s 67 years of public service.
In Danville, Pretoria, Zuma himself will try to channel Mandela’s cross-community appeal by delivering government housing to poor whites.
Children in schools around the country will kick off the day by singing “Happy Birthday” to the former prisoner, who also marks 15th anniversary of his marriage to third wife Graça Machel.
The government will also host a ceremony for the symbolic handing over of Mandela’s new high-tech ID card, which will be received by Zindzi.
The event is laden with symbolism in a country where apartheid was enforced by pass books, which black citizens were forced to carry and which limited movement to certain areas at certain times.
‘Make the world a better place’ Global luminaries, pop stars and ordinary people around the world have joined South Africans in pledging support for Mandela on his birthday.
“I will also be giving my 67 minutes to make the world a better place, one small step at a time,” UK business magnate Richard Branson vowed in a recorded message.
In Manila, capital of the Philippines, 50 abandoned street children will get a television studio tour and see performances by local artists.
On Saturday, the Australian city of Melbourne will hold a concert featuring local and African artists, while a music festival later this year in Norway will promote equality in schools.
Negotiating the end to apartheid Born on July 18,1918, Mandela fought against minority rule in South Africa as a young lawyer and was convicted of treason in 1964.
He spent the next 27 years in jail.
It was in part through his willingness to forgive his white jailers that Mandela made his indelible mark on history.
After negotiating an end to apartheid, he became South Africa’s first black president, drawing a line under centuries of colonial and racist suppression.
He then led reconciliation in the deeply divided country.
Mandela’s peace-making spirit has won him worldwide respect.
“Never before in history was one human being so universally acknowledged in his lifetime as the embodiment of magnanimity and reconciliation as Nelson Mandela,” said Archbishop Desmond Tutu, himself a Nobel Peace laureate.
But the sunset of Mandela’s life has been somewhat eclipsed by bitter infighting among his relatives.
A row over his final resting place has seen three of his children’s graves dug up and their remains moved amid public brawling and legal action among his children and grandchildren. – Sapa, Reuters

How powerful a peace maker is?

Africa and more of Africa need him to have peace.
Then who can be the next candidate who can reach out the whole world with inner and outer PEACE?
The sole divided country, South Korea has a right to tell PEACE.
And this such country has the answer.

Negotiating the end to apartheid Born on July 18,1918, Mandela fought against minority rule in South Africa as a young lawyer and was convicted of treason in 1964.
He spent the next 27 years in jail.
It was in part through his willingness to forgive his white jailers that Mandela made his indelible mark on history.
After negotiating an end to apartheid, he became South Africa’s first black president, drawing a line under centuries of colonial and racist suppression.
He then led reconciliation in the deeply divided country.
Mandela’s peace-making spirit has won him worldwide respect.
“Never before in history was one human being so universally acknowledged in his lifetime as the embodiment of magnanimity and reconciliation as Nelson Mandela,” said Archbishop Desmond Tutu, himself a Nobel Peace laureate.
But the sunset of Mandela’s life has been somewhat eclipsed by bitter infighting among his relatives.
A row over his final resting place has seen three of his children’s graves dug up and their remains moved amid public brawling and legal action among his children and grandchildren. – Sapa, Reuters

MANNAM peace : Pray For Syria
Syria Conflict Kills Over 5,000 Children
'Pray For Syria,' Says Girl Survivor
The lives of more than 5,000 children may have been lost to the civil war in Syria, according to recent reports, and now Open Doors USA has brought to international attention the testimonies of two young girls living in fear in the country where violence and killings have become almost a part of daily life for the nation's most innocent victims.
"It's scary. We hear a lot of bad stories about what is happening around us. On the streets there are soldiers everywhere. We see smoke from fighting and hear bombings all the time," said 13-year-old Youmna, a Christian girl who lives in Damascus, Syria with her sister, 10-year-old Nashita, according to Open Doors USA.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights claims that around 100,000 people have been killed in the civil war between government forces and rebels, and among those numbers are 5,000 children under the age of 16.
"One day I was going to school by bus when we heard a shooting nearby," said Youmna. "So we all dived down, hiding under our seats, waiting until the shooting was over. Another day when we were at school there was an airplane very close by, threatening to bomb our school. We all had to go into the basement and stay away from the glass."
"My classmates and I were all very scared. Kids around me were crying and shouting at the teachers because they were so afraid. Some called their fathers crying to them that they wanted to go home," Nashita added.
The United Nations office of the Special Representative of the Secretary General for Children and Armed Conflict can verify the reports of children being killed. To make matters worse, the children are sometimes being used as props of the war, and often 10-year-old boys are being used as combatants or porters.
Syria
Since March 2011, Syria has been embroiled in civil war in the wake of uprisings (considered an extension of the Arab Spring, the mass movement of revolutions and protests in the Arab world) against Assad and the neo-Ba'athist government. An alternative government was formed by the opposition umbrella group, the Syrian National Coalition, in March 2012. Representatives of this government were subsequently invited to take up Syria's seat at the Arab League. The opposition coalition has been recognised as the "sole representative of the Syrian people" by several nations including the United States, United Kingdom and France
+One day I was thinking about becoming an adult.
There might be some people who want to grow up quickly to become an adult, but it's not my case.
Sometimes I believe I would like to be in unmature level(you need to figure out what I am saying deeply though).
Somehow the word of adult gives me an image of greed, desperate, desert, rejection, isolation and all the kinds of things..How terrible!
It's not right to say a kid is perfect(Because it's not! obviously!).
But sometimes we need to think like how kids do as we are already adults(Some are probably not).
+What do you reckon? :)

MANNAM : Word has peace and touches people's heart : Mahatma Gandhi
A coward is incapable of exhibiting love.
It is the prerogative of the brave.
-Mahatma Gandhi-
Mahatma Gandhi
Name: Mahatma Gandhi
Occupation: Anti-War Activist
Birth Date: October 02, 1869
Death Date: January 30, 1948
Education: Samaldas College at Bhavnagar, Gujarat, University College London
Place Of Birth: Porbandar, Kathiawar, India
Place Of Death: New Delhi, India
Full Name: Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
Born on October 2, 1869, in Porbandar, India, Mahatma Gandhi studied law and came to advocate for the rights of Indians, both at home and in South Africa. Gandhi became a leader of India's independence movement, organizing boycotts against British institutions in peaceful forms of civil disobedience. He was killed by a fanatic in 1948.
Spiritual and Political Leader
Indian nationalist leader Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, more commonly known as Mahatma Gandhi, was born on October 2, 1869, in Porbandar, Kathiawar, India. He studied law in London, England, but in 1893 went to South Africa, where he spent 20 years opposing discriminatory legislation against Indians. As a pioneer of Satyagraha, or resistance through mass non-violent civil disobedience, he became one of the major political and spiritual leaders of his time. Satyagraha remains one of the most potent philosophies in freedom struggles throughout the world today.
Fight for Indian Liberation
In 1914, Gandhi returned to India, where he supported the Home Rule movement, and became leader of the Indian National Congress, advocating a policy of non-violent non-co-operation to achieve independence. His goal was to help poor farmers and laborers protest oppressive taxation and discrimination. He struggled to alleviate poverty, liberate women and put an end to caste discrimination, with the ultimate objective being self-rule for India.
Following his civil disobedience campaign (1919-22), he was jailed for conspiracy (1922-24). In 1930, he led a landmark 320 km/200 mi march to the sea to collect salt in symbolic defiance of the government monopoly. On his release from prison (1931), he attended the London Round Table Conference on Indian constitutional reform. In 1946, he negotiated with the Cabinet Mission which recommended the new constitutional structure. After independence (1947), he tried to stop the Hindu-Muslim conflict in Bengal, a policy which led to his assassination in Delhi by Nathuram Godse, a Hindu fanatic.
Death and Legacy
Even after his death, Gandhi's commitment to non-violence and his belief in simple living--making his own clothes, eating a vegetarian diet, and using fasts for self-purification as well as a means of protest -- have been a beacon of hope for oppressed and marginalized people throughout the world.

MANNAM Peace Advocates : Russell Einstein Manifesto in 1955
 |
| via http://pw20c.mcmaster.ca/ |
The full text of Russell Einstein Manifesto
In the tragic situation which confronts humanity, we feel that scientists should assemble in conference to appraise the perils that have arisen as a result of the development of weapons of mass destruction, and to discuss a resolution in the spirit of the appended draft.
We are speaking on this occasion, not as members of this or that nation, continent, or creed, but as human beings, members of the species Man, whose continued existence is in doubt. The world is full of conflicts; and, overshadowing all minor conflicts, the titanic struggle between Communism and anti Communism.
Almost everybody who is politically conscious has strong feelings about one or more of these issues; but we want you, if you can, to set aside such feelings and consider yourselves only as members of a biological species which has had a remarkable history, and whose disappearance none of us can desire.
We shall try to say no single word which should appeal to one group rather than another. All, equally, are in peril, and, if the peril is understood, there is hope that they may collectively avert it.
We have to learn to think in a new way. We have to learn to ask ourselves, not what steps can be taken to give military victory to whatever group we prefer, for there are no longer such steps; the question we have to ask ourselves is: what steps can be taken to prevent a military contest of which the issue must be disastrous to all parties?
The general public, and even many men in position of authority, have not realized what would be involved in a war with nuclear bombs. The general public still thinks in terms of obliteration of cities. It is understood that the new bombs are more powerful than the old, and that, while one A-bomb could obliterate Hiroshima, one H- bomb could obliterate the largest cities, such as London, New York and Moscow.
No doubt in an H-bomb war great cities would be obliterated. But this is one of the minor disasters that would have to be faced. If everybody in London, New York and Moscow were exterminated, the world might, in the course of a few centuries, recover from the blow. But we know, especially since the Bikini test, that nuclear bombs can gradually spread destruction over a very much wider area than had been supposed.
It is stated on very good authority that a bomb can now be manufactured which will be 2,500 times as powerful as that which destroyed Hiroshima. Such a bomb, if exploded near the ground or under water, sends radioactive particles into the upper air. They sink gradually and reach the surface of the earth in the form of a deadly dust or rain. It was this dust which infected the Japanese fishermen and their catch of fish.
No one knows how widely such lethal radioactive particles might be diffused, but the best authorities are unanimous in saying that a war with H-bombs might quite possibly put an end to the human race. It is feared that if many H-bombs are used there will be universal death—sudden only for a minority but for the majority a slow torture of disease and disintegration.
Many warnings have been uttered by eminent men of science and by authorities in military strategy. None of them will say that the worst results are certain. What they do say is that these results are possible, and no one- can be sure that they will not be realized. We have not yet found that the views of experts on this question depend in any degree upon their politics or prejudices. They depend only, so far as our researches have revealed, upon the extent of the particular expert's knowledge. We have found that the men who know most are the most gloomy.
Here, then, is the problem which we present to you, stark and dreadful and inescapable: shall we put an end to the human race; or shall mankind renounce war? People will not face this alternative because it is so difficult to abolish war.
The abolition of war will demand distasteful limitations of national sovereignty. But what perhaps impedes understanding of the situation more than anything else is that the term "mankind" feels vague and abstract. People scarcely realize in imagination that the danger is to themselves and their children and their grandchildren, and not only to a dimly apprehended humanity. They can scarcely bring themselves to grasp that they, individually, and those whom they love are in imminent danger of perishing agonizingly. And so they hope that perhaps war may be allowed to continue provided modern weapons are prohibited.
This hope is illusory. Whatever agreements not to use H-bombs had been reached in time of peace, they would no longer be considered binding in time of war, and both sides would set to work to manufacture H-bombs as soon as war broke out, for, if one' side manufactured the bombs and the other did not, the side that manufactured them would inevitably be victorious.
Although an agreement to renounce nuclear weapons as part of a general reduction of armaments would not afford an ultimate solution, it would serve certain important purposes. First: any agreement between East and West is to the good insofar as it tends to diminish tension. Second: the abolition of thermo-nuclear weapons, if each side believed that the other had carried it out sincerely, would lessen the fear of a sudden attack in the style of Pearl Harbour, which at present keeps both sides in a state of nervous-apprehension. We should, therefore, welcome such an agreement, though only as a first step.
Most of us are not neutral in feeling, but as human beings, we have to remember that, if the issues between East and West are to be decided in any manner that can give any possible satisfaction to anybody, whether Communist or anti- Communist, whether Asian or European or American, whether White or Black, then these issues must not be decided by war. We should wish this to be understood, both in the East and in the West.
There lies before us, if we choose, continual progress in happiness, knowledge, and wisdom. Shall we, instead, choose death, because we cannot forget our quarrels? We appeal, as human beings, to human beings: remember your humanity, and forget the rest. If you can do so, the way lies open to a new Paradise; if you cannot, there lies before you the risk of universal death.
+Resolution
We invite this Congress, and through it the scientists of the world and the general public, to subscribe to the following resolution:
In view of the fact that in any future world war nuclear weapons will certainly be employed, and that such weapons threaten the continued existence of mankind, we urge the Governments of the world to realize, and to acknowledge publicly, that their purpose cannot be furthered by a world war, and we urge. them, consequently, to find peaceful means for the settlement of all matters of dispute between them.

MANNAM Youth for Peace : Filipino youth at WYD in Rio, "hope" of the Church and society
Manila (AsiaNews) - The new generation "are the hope of the Church and society" and it is "our duty" to educate them to become "good and devoted elements " within society as a whole. This is the message delivered by leaders of the Diocese of Pasig - a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Manila, in the Philippines - to the participants at the 28th World Youth Day (WYD), scheduled for July 23 to 28 next to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. On Sunday, June 30 at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception of Pasig Mass was celebrated mandating the diocesan delegates, who will meet Pope Francis and young people from around the world in the metropolis of Rio. Bishop Mylo Hubert Vergara emphasized the importance of "being a missionary for others."
During the Mass, the bishop reminded participants of the importance of their mission and the special experience they will have. Msgr. Vergara added that it is a "once in a lifetime" opportunity and the meeting with the Pope must be lived in communion "with whole world." "Not everyone has the opportunity to see the Pope in person - he continues - and ... that's why your presence is not only a personal experience. You represent the nation. All of us will be there with you."
In his homily Fr. Joeffrey Brian Catuiran, diocesan youth ministry director, spoke of the importance of young people in the missionary task promoted by the Church, under the motto "go and make disciples of all nations." "Young people are the hope of the Church and of society - said the priest - and we need to help them become [as Pope emeritus Benedict XVI pointed out] good and devout members of the community."
Fr. Catuiran echoed the words of Pope Francis inviting the young people "not to be ashamed to carry the Cross" and to prepare for this special World Youth Day event at "a spiritual level". So that it may be "a sign of faith for the entire world. Welcoming the love of Christ, who embraces us" just like the Redeemer statue that overlooks the city of Rio.
More than 300 young Filipinos will participate in the WYD in Brazil. Accompanying them will be the President of the Philippine Bishops Conference and Archbishop of Cebu Jose Palma, along with four other bishops and numerous priests. The number of young Filipinos, however, could be much higher, because many schools, institutes, autonomous communities are organizing delegations that will be present in Rio for the days of celebration and prayer. The "official" Episcopal Conference delegation leaves for Brazil between July 13 and 15, in time to celebrate the missionary days 17-21. They will be hosted by the Diocese of Petropolis, about 70 km from Rio de Janeiro
+Adults and whole world have hope on Youth for Peace.
Some genuine heart, some willingness for others, some positive energy can inspire all the societies...
Those values are seen through YOUTH.
I hope all the international youth gather together and step forward for ONE purpose, World Peace.
That would be so amazing and touching.
Will be more of Youth gathering than before.
So YOUTH guys!
Are you ready to become main characters who can change the world?:)
