But I feel convinced, and I venture even to prophesy in this regard, that the time will come when there will also be a minister of peace in the cabinet, seated beside the ministers of war.

On the other hand, the waging of peace as a science, as an art, is in its infancy. But we can trace its growth, its steady progress, and the time will come when there will be particular individuals designated to assume responsibility for and leadership of this movement.

Always we must bear in mind that law has to be substituted for power, that care must be taken to serve the interests of law.

An advantage that the Hague Conferences lack, in contrast to the peace associations and the Interparliamentary Union, is a bureau.

Propaganda is a topic of particular concern to peace associations. This is a matter of educating the population in general, and not least the voters.

The interparliamentary conference should, in my opinion, direct its particular attention to the preparation of the next Hague Conference, the diplomatic conference, the conference of governments.

We have long possessed the art of war and the science of war, which have been evolved in the minutest detail.
