The Question Is, What Are We To

In Our Modern World Of Interdependent Nations, Hardly Any State Can Wage War Successfully Without Raising Loans And Buying War Materials Of Every Kind In The Markets Of Other Nations.

The Forces That Are Driving Mankind Toward Unity And Peace Are Deep-seated And Powerful. They Are Material And Natural, As Well As Moral And Intellectual.

Perhaps The Grimmest Aspect Of This Great Paradox Is That The Very Nations That Are Chiefly Responsible For Starting And For Maintaining The Disarmament Conference Are Also The Nations That Have Begun A New Arms Race.

It Is Because I Believe That It Is In The Power Of Such Nations To Lead The World Back Into The Paths Of Peace That I Propose To Devote Myself To Explaining What, In My Opinion, Can And Should Be Done To Banish The Fear Of War That Hangs So Heavily Over The World.

Four Years Of World War, At A Cost In Human Suffering Which Our Minds Are Mercifully Too Limited To Imagine, Led To The Very Clear Realization That International Anarchy Must Be Abandoned If Civilization Was To Survive.
