From Secretariat - Central Office . -

In.days gone by, the practical solution
to many a difficult problem was found as
a result of discussions in the village
store, at the village blacksmith's, ‘at
the market and at other places where men
congregated, Those discussions served
to inform citizens about problems con-
fronting them, helped impress upon citi-
zens just what the finding of a satis-
factory solution meant to him and en-
couraged the. citizen to be active in
helping to find and apply a solution.

Because perfect answers to these ques-
tions have not been found in the past,
because these problems have not been
solved satisfactorily, war has been re-
current. So do not let us be discour-
aged if we cannot immediately find per-
fect answers to all or even any of these
questions, Instead that should encour-
age us all the more to continue to con-
Sider these problems, to discuss them,
to try to find the solutions.
