Religion is necessary for progress towards peace, but there must be a unity of religions. All have a basic belief in treating others as we would wish to be treated. Fanaticism is the cause of religious ex- cesses and must be outlawed. Banning nuclear weapons, gas and germ warfare won't bring world peace, she feels. The greatest problems to be overcome are poverty and racism, nationalism (different from patriotism) and denial of -equality of the sexes, A common language would in- crease understanding. Children must be taught the universality of man. Ultimately, there would be a world parliament with representatives from all parts of the world.
