Limitation Of Armaments In Itself Is Economically

We Pacifists Have Not Ceased To Point To The Grave Danger Of Armaments And To Insist On Their Curtailment.

The Present Level Of Armaments Could Be Taken As The Starting Point. It Could Be Stipulated In An International Treaty That These Armaments Should Be Simultaneously And Uniformly Reduced By A Certain Proportion In All Countries.

Disarmament Or Limitation Of Armaments, Which Depends On The Progress Made On Security, Also Contributes To The Maintenance Of Peace.

Time And Time Again We Have Experienced Efforts Directed Toward This Popular And Simple Concept Of Securing Peace By Means Of Disarmament.

Let Us Assume That The Ideal Were Reached; Let Us Imagine A State Of International Life In Which The Danger Of War No Longer Exists. Then No One Would Dare To Demand A Penny For Obviously Completely Superfluous Armaments.
