We'll Jump Off That Bridge

We Know Now That In Modern Warfare, Fought On Any Considerable Scale, There Can Be No Possible Economic Gain For Any Side. Win Or Lose, There Is Nothing But Waste And Destruction.

If A Man Has An Apartment Stacked To The Ceiling With Newspapers, We Call Him Crazy. If A Woman Has A Trailer House Full Of Cats, We Call Her Nuts. But When People Pathologically Hoard So Much Cash That They Impoverish The Entire Nation, We Put Them On The Cover Of Fortune Magazine And Pretend That They Are Role Models.

We Must Keep On Trying To Solve Problems, One By One, Stage By Stage, If Not On The Basis Of Confidence And Cooperation, At Least On That Of Mutual Toleration And Self-interest.

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.
