The Security Of Which We Speak Is

Every Success In Limiting Armaments Is A Sign That The Will To Achieve Mutual Understanding Exists, And Every Such Success Thus Supports The Fight For International Law And Order.

The Relationship Of The Two Problems Is Rather The Reverse. To A Great Extent Disarmament Is Dependent On Guarantees Of Peace. Security Comes First And Disarmament Second.

We Pacifists Have Not Ceased To Point To The Grave Danger Of Armaments And To Insist On Their Curtailment.

So Long As Peace Is Not Attained By Law (so Argue The Advocates Of Armaments) The Military Protection Of A Country Must Not Be Undermined, And Until Such Is The Case Disarmament Is Impossible.

I Am Convinced That When The History Of International Law Comes To Be Written Centuries Hence, It Will Be Divided Into Two Periods: The First Being From The Earliest Times To The End Of The Nineteenth Century, And The Second Beginning With The Hague Conference.
