It Will Be Sufficient To Point To The Enormous Burdens Which Armaments Place On The Economic, Social, And Intellectual Resources Of A Nation, As Well As On Its Budget And Taxes.

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.

Thus, If Armaments Were Curtailed Without A Secure Peace And All Countries Disarmed Proportionately, Military Security Would Have Been In No Way Affected.

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 Popular, And One May Say Naive, Idea Is That Peace Can Be Secured By Disarmament And That Disarmament Must Therefore Precede The Attainment Of Absolute Security And Lasting Peace.
