Taxation Is Not A Method By Which

We Are Resolved That The Method Of Consultation Shall Be The Method Adopted To Deal With Any Other Questions That May Concern Our Two Countries, And We Are Determined To Continue Our Efforts To Remove Possible Sources Of Difference, And Thus To Contribute To Assure The Peace Of Europe.

We Should Seek By All Means In Our Power To Avoid War, By Analysing Possible Causes, By Trying To Remove Them, By Discussion In A Spirit Of Collaboration And Good Will.

How Horrible, Fantastic, Incredible, It Is That We Should Be Digging Trenches And Trying On Gas-masks Here Because Of A Quarrel In A Faraway Country Between People Of Whom We Know Nothing.

We Would Fight Not For The Political Future Of A Distant City [danzig], Rather For Principles Whose Destruction Would Ruin The Possibility Of Peace And Security For The Peoples Of The Earth.

In War, Whichever Side May Call Itself The Victor, There Are No Winners, But All Are Losers.
