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

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.

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

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

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.

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