Warned By The Disaster Of The Last

I Know That Military Alliances And Armament Have Been The Reliance For Peace For Centuries, But They Do Not Produce Peace; And When War Comes, As It Inevitably Does Under Such Conditions, These Armaments And Alliances But Intensify And Broaden The Conflict.

If We Will Maintain Our Hope And Confidence In The Genius Of Our People, They Will Work Out This Problem, And Their Ability And Industry Will Bring Us Back To Normal Conditions.

There Has Not Been A War In South America For Fifty Years, And I Have Every Confidence That The Countries Of Central And South America Are Deeply In Earnest In The Maintenance Of Peace.

I Have Often Heard It Said That The United States Is Isolated And Is Not Interested In European Affairs. I Assure You That This Is Not The Case.

Competition In Armament, Both Land And Naval, Is Not Only A Terrible Burden Upon The People, But I Believe It To Be One Of The Greatest Menaces To The Peace Of The World.
