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

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

Great progress was made when arbitration treaties were concluded in which the contracting powers pledge in advance to submit all conflicts to an arbitration court, treaties which not only specify the composition of the court, but also its procedure.

In life, particularly in public life, psychology is more powerful than logic.

Among pacifists it was above all the English who always insisted on the importance of disarmament. They said that the man in the street would not understand the kind of pacifism that neglected to demand immediate restriction of armaments.

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

When distrust exists between governments, when there is a danger of war, they will not be willing to disarm even when logic indicates that disarmament would not affect military security at all.
