$5000 FOR AN IDEA

From the New History Society comes a tunefully encouraging obligatto to the theme of futility which runs through the world today regarding Peace. A prize of $5000 is offered in a world-wide competition for a plan to secure universal disarmament.

The Society's action in seeking a suitable, workable plan is commendable. When world peace and cooperation is so unquestionably the most suitable background for human happiness, humanitarians throughout the world will support and extend any intelligent plan which works toward this ultimate goal. For the production of a symphony, $5000 is a poor price indeed.
