The nations must be organized internationally and induced to enter into partnership, subordinating in some measure national sovereignty to worldwide institutions and obligations.

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.

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

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.

The world wants disarmament, the world needs disarmament. We have it in our power to help fashion future history.

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

I do not believe that the values which the Western democracies consider essential to civilization can survive in a world rent by the international anarchy of nationalism and the economic anarchy of competitive enterprise.
