As I have tried to show, science, in producing the airplane and the wireless, has created a new international political environment to which governments must adjust their foreign policies.

Measured in time of transport and communication, the whole round globe is now smaller than a small European country was a hundred years ago.

Some wars have been due to the lust of rulers for power and glory, or to revenge to wipe out the humiliation of a former defeat.

Nearly every country in the world is now becoming industrialized as rapidly as it can.

Some think the worst horrors of war might be avoided by an international agreement not to use atomic bombs. This is a vain hope.

There can be no peace in the world so long as a large proportion of the population lack the necessities of life and believe that a change of the political and economic system will make them available. World peace must be based on world plenty.

We are now physically, politically, and economically one world and nations so interdependent that the absolute national sovereignty of nations is no longer possible.
