It Is Because I Believe That It Is In The Power Of Such Nations To Lead The World Back Into The Paths Of Peace That I Propose To Devote Myself To Explaining What, In My Opinion, Can And Should Be Done To Banish The Fear Of War That Hangs So Heavily Over The World.

I Do Not Believe That The Values Which The Western Democracies Consider Essential To Civilization Can Survive In A World Rent By The International Anarchy Of Nationalism And The Economic Anarchy Of Competitive Enterprise.

The Vast Upheaval Of The World War Set In Motion Forces That Will Either Destroy Civilization Or Raise Mankind To Undreamed Of Heights Of Human Welfare And Prosperity.

The Forces That Are Driving Mankind Toward Unity And Peace Are Deep-seated And Powerful. They Are Material And Natural, As Well As Moral And Intellectual.
