There Are No Warlike People, Just Warlike

The Well-being And The Hopes Of The Peoples Of The World Can Never Be Served Until Peace - As Well As Freedom, Honor And Self-respect - Is Secure.

In His Scientific Genius, Man Has Wrought Material Miracles And Has Transformed His World. He Has Harnassed Nature And Has Developed Great Civilizations. But He Has Never Learned Very Well How To Live With Himself. The Values He Has Created Have Been Predominantly Materialistic; His Spiritual Values Have Lagged Far Behind. He Has Demonstrated Little Spiritual Genius And Has Made Little Progress Toward The Realization Of Human Brotherhood. In The Contemporary Atomic Age, This Could Prove Man's Fatal Weakness.

The United Nations Exists Not Merely To Preserve The Peace But Also To Make Change - Even Radical Change - Possible Without Violent Upheaval. The United Nations Has No Vested Interest In The Status Quo. It Seeks A More Secure World, A Better World, A World Of Progress For All Peoples. In The Dynamic World Society Which Is The Objective Of The United Nations, All Peoples Must Have Equality And Equal Rights.

Peace Is No Mere Matter Of Men Fighting Or Not Fighting. Peace, To Have Meaning For Many Who Have Known Only Suffering In Both Peace And War, Must Be Translated Into Bread Or Rice, Shelter, Health, And Education, As Well As Freedom And Human Dignity - A Steadily Better Life. If Peace Is To Be Secure, Long-suffering And Long-starved, Forgotten Peoples Of The World, The Underprivileged And The Undernourished, Must Begin To Realize Without Delay The Promise Of A New Day And A New Life.

There Is No Problem Of Human Nature Which Is Insoluble.
