The Disarmament Conference has become the focal point of a great struggle between anarchy and world order... between those who think in terms of inevitable armed conflict and those who seek to build a universal and durable peace.

One of the first essentials is a policy of unreserved political cooperation with all the nations of the world.

In almost every country there are elements of opinion which would welcome such a conclusion because they wish to return to the politics of the balance of power, unrestricted and unregulated armaments, international anarchy, and preparation for war.

As a first step there must be an offer to achieve equality of rights in disarmament by abolishing the weapons forbidden to the Central Powers by the Peace Treaties.

This is our world, and we must make the best of it.

Whatever we do or fail to do will influence the course of history.

The drive toward economic nationalism is only part of the general revival of nationalism.
