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.

The relationship of the two problems is rather the reverse. To a great extent disarmament is dependent on guarantees of peace. Security comes first and disarmament second.

Limitation of armaments in itself is economically and financially important quite apart from security.

So long as peace is not attained by law (so argue the advocates of armaments) the military protection of a country must not be undermined, and until such is the case disarmament is impossible.

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.

We pacifists have not ceased to point to the grave danger of armaments and to insist on their curtailment.

Even a total and universal disarmament does not guarantee the maintenance of peace.
