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

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.

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

We had four years of world war which the peoples endured only because they were told that their sufferings would free humanity forever from the scourge of war.

The vast upheaval of the World War set in motion forces that will either destroy civilization or raise mankind to undreamed of heights of human welfare and prosperity.

The years of the economic depression have been years of political reaction, and that is why the economic crisis has generated a world peace crisis.

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.
