This Is Our World, And We Must

Four Years Of World War, At A Cost In Human Suffering Which Our Minds Are Mercifully Too Limited To Imagine, Led To The Very Clear Realization That International Anarchy Must Be Abandoned If Civilization Was To Survive.

In Short, It May Be Said That On Paper The Obligations To Settle International Disputes Peacefully Are Now So Comprehensive And Far-reaching That It Is Almost Impossible For A State To Resort To War Without Violating One Or More Solemn Treaty Obligations.

This Is Our World, And We Must Make The Best Of It.

The Disarmament Conference Has Become The Focal Point Of A Great Struggle Between Anarchy And World Order... Between Those Who Think In Terms Of Inevitable Armed Conflict And Those Who Seek To Build A Universal And Durable Peace.

The World Before 1914 Was Already A World In Which The Welfare Of Each Individual Nation Was Inextricably Bound Up With The Prosperity Of The Whole Community Of Nations.
