There Has Not Been A War In

I Know That Military Alliances And Armament Have Been The Reliance For Peace For Centuries, But They Do Not Produce Peace; And When War Comes, As It Inevitably Does Under Such Conditions, These Armaments And Alliances But Intensify And Broaden The Conflict.

If We Will Maintain Our Hope And Confidence In The Genius Of Our People, They Will Work Out This Problem, And Their Ability And Industry Will Bring Us Back To Normal Conditions.

It Is By Such Means As The Prize Offered By Your Committee That The Attention Of The World Will Be Focused And That Men And Women Will Be Inspired To Greater Efforts In The Interest Of Peace.

I Regret Very Much To Hear So Many People, Many Of My Own Countrymen, Predicting War, Stating That Europe Is Preparing And Arming For Such A Conflict.

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.
