UNIVERSITY FUND APPEALS TO MANY The Chri tmas spirit of giving ha been generously expressed in the contributions to the Univer- sity Foundation Fund, both large and small. While the quota is still far from being reached, the prompt and liberal response to the Most Reverend Bishop's plea for full support of the University Founda- tion Fund is most encouraging and the wholehearted support of the diocese is carrying the campaign successfully toward its goal. I One of the most touching gifts I received this past week by the Most Reverend Bishop was from a little tot five years old at th\! children's Christmas party in Old Town. She approached His Excel- lency and opened her small palm, sticky V'.ith Christmas candy, to make her offering-two bright copper pennies.

Talk Stresses Peace Efforts Urges Revision of UN Charter to Curb Wide Veto Powers The necessity for new ef- forts for wor1d peace was stressed by His Excellency the Most Rev. Charles F. Buddy, DD, Bishop of San Diego, in a Christmas radio ad - dress delivered Friday morning-, December 19, over radio station KFSD. "May every voice demand from Congress prompt and more de- termined action to bring about peace," His Excellency pleaded, after noting that "We cannot con- tinue to compromise principle and j to make the peace conference a spectacle of appeasement and diplomatic platitudes." Constructlye .Policy Noting, "No wonder there are so many rumors about war!" the Most Reverend Bishop queried, "Why not insist more on peace?" adding that "It is now a choice between peace and ruin. While universal military training has ardent proponents, it will not be a panacea for all our ills. For ade- quate protection we need mor'-'! than brave men in the field; we need wise and fearless represent- atives in Congress. Leaders of nations were urged by His Excellency to "heed tlli! cry of millions" by setting "a I lofty example." "Humbly beg Di · vine guidance," he continued. "Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit apply the doctrines of J esu~ Christ to peace built on justice and charity." Types of Peace The San Diego Ordinary con• trasted the internal peace herald- ed by the 11.ngels which is "a spiritual gift resulting from the. creature's allegiance to his Cre · ator," to the external peace "which obtains between individuals and nations" and which "rests primar- ily on a recognition of the rightis of others and the solemn duty incumbent on individuals as well I as nations to respect these rights."' "\Vhen these rights are ignored I or violated, external peace termi• nates," he added. "The international organization of the United Nations is dedicated to the establishment of peace,·· 1 the Most Reverend Bishop stated, i continuing: "For the same pu,·- 1 pose covenants bet\veen particular nations are made. Because these are merely human instruments, I they are subject to human weak- .ness and ultimate failure. They I need a source of strength to securr. them and to perpetuate them. I Political formulas, no matter how •rich in promises, are no guarantee for peace. When will men grasp I the fundamentals that those who refuse to be enlightened and gov- . crned by the laws of God will oe ruled by tyrants ? "
