There Are But Few Naval Powers, But

Each One Of These Treaties Is A Step For The Maintenance Of Peace, An Additional Guarantee Against War. It Is Through Such Machinery That The Disputes Between Nations Will Be Settled And War Prevented.

There Will Always Be Disputes Between Nations Which, At Times, Will Inflame The Public And Threaten Conflicts, But The Main Thing Is To Educate The People Of The World To Be Ever Mindful That There Are Better Means Of Settling Such Disputes Than By War.

I Know Of No More Important Subject To The Peace Of Europe And The World Than The Reasonable Reduction Of Armaments, Especially In Europe, And Of Naval Armaments Throughout The World.

I Share The Opinion Of Those Of Broader Vision, Who See In The Signs Of The Time Hope Of Humanity For Peace.

Certain It Is That A Great Responsibility Rests Upon The Statesmen Of All Nations, Not Only To Fulfill The Promises For Reduction In Armaments, But To Maintain The Confidence Of The People Of The World In The Hope Of An Enduring Peace.
