The security of which we speak is to be attained by the development of international law through an international organization based on the principles of law and justice.

Let us assume that the ideal were reached; let us imagine a state of international life in which the danger of war no longer exists. Then no one would dare to demand a penny for obviously completely superfluous armaments.

Lightly armed nations can move toward war just as easily as those which are armed to the teeth, and they will do so if the usual causes of war are not removed.

Every success in limiting armaments is a sign that the will to achieve mutual understanding exists, and every such success thus supports the fight for international law and order.

The security of which we speak is to be attained by the development of international law through an international organization based on the principles of law and justice.

Time and time again we have experienced efforts directed toward this popular and simple concept of securing peace by means of disarmament.

Disarmament or limitation of armaments, which depends on the progress made on security, also contributes to the maintenance of peace.
