Abstract: When Paul Hoffman, president of the Ford Foundation, approached me in August 1951 to go to India, I refused. Then in October he came to Washington to see me. He had recently returned from a visit to India himself and was convinced that the peace of the world for generations to come might well be determined by what happened in India. He told me it was my moral obligation to go. I tell this story to you who are engaged in this program of international understanding because it seems to me that we have to get across to the people an understanding that each of us has a moral obligation to see what we can contribute in bringing us peace. You people in educational work can help the American people understand that they as individuals should be just as much concerned and just as much involved in this as the people in Congress, members of the cabinet, and the man who occupies the White House.
