Ran " aMe Tra,s We know what you’re looking for.
(Holt, Rinehart & Winston),
Williams abandons the age-old
attempt by Christian theolo
gians to find a single, overall
answer to the question: “Why
does a loving God permit so
much suffering in the world?”
That question can never be
answered satisfactorily, Wil
liams says, because we cannot
see things as God sees them.
We have no right even to try to
explain the sufferings of others.
We can speak intelligently only
of the suffering we personally
have experienced.
Out of His Own Life
Out of his own life, Williams
has learned—and I am quoting
him here because I have had
precisely the same experience—
that suffering can result in a
new outlook on, and a more
joyous participation in, the
tuman adventure.
Williams is no masochist. He
believes we should avoid
suffering whenever and wherev
er we possibly can. But when it
comes upon us anyway, he
says, it is a great mistake to
try to escape from it by
seeking distractions and diver
sions. The trick is to “accept it
and receive it, to take it on as
part of what we are”.
“In doing this, we discover
new and hitherto unimagined
areas of our being. We discover
that the self we took as our
total self was in fact only
totally unaware.
Suffering Can Create Us
“That is how suffering can by
acceptance create us—by acti
vating and making accessible to
us powers within us which
hitherto were dormant and only
potential so that we had no
inkling of their existence.”
Williams warns—and again I
say amen—that people who
accept suffering should not
expect immediate irradiation
by “a glorious certainty” that
they are growing toward
fulfillment and joy.
“All we shall feel is much
pain with spasmodic and very
faint glimmers of hope,” he
said. “The faint glimmer of
hope will be obscure and
undefined. It will be a glimmer
of hope for we know not what.
Yet for all its being feeble,
intermittent and without con
tent, the hope is the call to us
of our own future, indicating we
are not only at an end but also
at a beginning. For the hope,
weak and unidentified though it
is, is a sign that a transforma
tion has begun.”
Ark’s Animals
According to the Book of
Genesis, the Lord com
manded Noah to take seven
pairs of each “clean” animal
and one pair of each “un
clean” animal aboard the
ark.
Orient sending more drugs to U.S.?
NEW YORK (UPI)-The
arrest of four members of a
New York Chinatown heroin
ring has led to speculation that
the flow of drugs into the
United States is shifting from
the Turkish-French network to
the Orient.
In announcing the arrest of
four men of Chinese descent
last month, Daniel P. Casey,
regional director of the Bureau
of Narcotics and Dangerous
Drugs, said “This is the latest
indication of a growing involve
ment by Chinese in heroin
traffic in the United States”.
“We anticipate an increasing
traffic by these organizations,”
Casey said.
The developing Southeast
Asian drug network begins in a
border area (rs Burma, Thailand
and Laos called the “Golden
Triangle.” The illicit drugs are
grown, processed and packaged
in the area, then distributed to
middlemen in Bangkok and
Hong Kong who arrange for the
drugs to be smuggled into the
United States through West
Coast ports.
Result of Withdrawal
According to the government
study, the appearance on the
U.S. drug scene of heroin from
the Orient is a result of
withdrawal of American troops
Page 7
from Vietnam. As the market
for heroin that had been
developed among U.S. soldiers
diminished, Oriental drug traf
fickers have moved to place
their wares directly on the open
market in the United States.
Efforts by the U.S. govern
ment to prevent the area from
becoming a major supplier of
heroin for the American market
have resulted in mixed results
in the countries which control
the flow of drugs from the
“Golden Triangle.”
BURMA—In assessing the
official attitude of the Burmese
government towards drug culti
vation in the “Golden Trian
gle,” the U.S. study concluded
that “as long as the Burmese
continue to place highest
priority on their internal
security needs, the major
source of illicit opium in
Southeast Asia will continue
unchecked.”
Burma is Keystone
Although Burma is the
keystone of opium trade in the
“Golden Triangle,” U.S. efforts
there have encountered the
greatest resistance. Burma
cultivates more than half the
700 tons of illicit opium in the
area. Much of Burma’s inaction
stems from the fact that in
many areas of the country
— Griffin Daily News Friday, September 15, 1972T*
insurgent forces defy govern
ment control.
LAOS—On Nov. 15, 1971, the
first narcotics law went into
effect in Laos. In June of this
year the Laotian government
banned opium refinery opera
tions.
These measures, however,
will have little effect on opium
trade in Laos since the
northeast regions—where most
of the opium poppy is grown—
have been controlled by anti
government forces for years.

morandum of Understanding on

was signed in Washington last
September. U.S. officials said
this document “laid the ground
work for increasing cooperatives;
efforts” between the two*-
countries.
As a direct result, on Dec. 7,
1971, a Drug Abuse Control
Project Agreement was signed
in Bangkok by Thailand and.

agreement stipulated that the

by a $2 million U.N. grant and
