    G> ) vl Recording made by Hilda Bernstein, 1j5th March 1973, on her recollections of the South African Peace Movement. I think there were two very important reasons why we started a Peace Movement - at least I was involved with these two reasons The first was a desire to do something about the menacing world situation since the dropping of the nuclear bombs in Japan, to outlaw nuclear weapons and to save the potential world from this terriDleXdisaster it was facing; and the second was the desire to link up any activities on this front in South Africa with some sort of international movement, particularly in South Africa because one is so terribly isolated there from world affairs. This was in the early 1950's, a kind of post-war activity which grew up: people who took an active part in politics in South Africa also of course followed what was happening overseas, inter­ national affairs as we called it, but a lot of South Africans are very much absorbed with their own problems which are real and near, and everything else seems so far away and nobody cares a damn about it. We felt a necessity to establish this international link. Now during the whole time of its existence the official peace movement in South Africa wasn't officially connected with the World Peace Council, but this was for safety reasons as far as the South African Government was concerned. But unofficially we kept our links with them, and wherever we could we sent people to conferences that were held.

  • Gandhian Principles and Their Relevance for World Peace
    International Journal of Research in Social Sciences Vol. 8 Issue 10, October 2018, ISSN: 2249-2496 Impact Factor: 7.081 Journal Homepage: http://www.ijmra.us, Email: [email protected] Double-Blind Peer Reviewed Refereed Open Access International Journal - Included in the International Serial Directories Indexed & Listed at: Ulrich's Periodicals Directory ©, U.S.A., Open J-Gage as well as in Cabell‟s Directories of Publishing Opportunities, U.S.A Gandhian Principles and Their Relevance for World Peace Biplob Gogoi* Abstract Gandhi was a contemplative man of action seeking truth for the eradication of evil, injustice and exploitation in human relationships and public affairs. He wanted to devise ways and means which would be consistent with the principles he had laid down for himself as being the best. He was as heroic in fighting the evil and injustice in the world outside as in conquering the evil and weakness in his own mind. The means he adopted satisfied the double demand, namely, that they should be truthful and that they should be pure, moral and constructive. Thus, in a world where science and technology have put into the hand of those in possession of wealth, power and authority weapons of coercion and destruction beyond ordinary conception, Gandhi‟s weapons of satyagraha and non-violence were a boon. Though its use in an international conflict has yet to be tried, one can hazard the statement that non-alignment, moral pressure by non- aligned powers, and the economic and other sanctions which the international institutions often think of are along the line of nonviolent resistance to evil and injustice.

WORLD PEACE THROUGH FOREIGN TRADE* LEONARD V. B. SUTTONt NDOUBTEDLY, THE Second Industrial Revolution blossomed early due to the tremendous scientific development that was a by- product of World War II. The birth of the nuclear age, when viewed in retrospect, opened for mankind not only new dangers but also new hopes for human betterment. The threats of the A bomb, and later the H bomb, have forced competing ideologies to seek peaceful means to solve disputes; and have led to a myriad of scientific dis- coveries that have benefited industry as well as raised living standards for all who can purchase the new products flooding the world's markets. This new Industrial Revolution did not reach voting age until it fathered the Space Age with all the bewildering wonderment of men in space, rockets to the moon, Mars probes, fantastic speeds, space satellites and miniaturization of products. In a more mundane perspec- tive it can be noted that Americans can now see European television programs beamed live everywhere in their vast land; and, everywhere, people today own transistor radios or other devices that have sprung from these advances.
