The Only Failures Are Those

Every State Has Not Only The Right But The Duty To Make Adequate Provision For Its Own Defense In The Way It Thinks Best, Providing It Does Not Do So At The Expense Of Any Other State.

As A Civilian During The Second War, I Was Exposed To Danger In Circumstances Which Removed Any Distinction Between The Man In And The Man Out Of Uniform.

No State, Furthermore, Unless It Has Aggressive Military Designs Such As Those Which Consumed Nazi Leaders In The Thirties, Is Likely To Divert To Defense Any More Of Its Resources And Wealth And Energy Than Seems Necessary.

The Best Defence Of Peace Is Not Power, But The Removal Of The Causes Of War, And International Agreements Which Will Put Peace On A Stronger Foundation, Than The Terror Of Destruction.

Until The Last Great War, A General Expectation Of Material Improvement Was An Idea Peculiar To Western Man. Now War And Its Aftermath Have Made Economic And Social Progress A Political Imperative In Every Quarter Of The Globe.
