These measures may not constitute an absolute guarantee of peace, but, in my opinion, they constitute the greatest preventive measures ever adopted by nations.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Peace as a goal is an ideal which will not be contested by any government or nation, not even the most belligerent.
Another essential to a universal and durable peace is social justice.
Peace does not mean just to stop wars, but also to stop oppression and injustice.
Even a total and universal disarmament does not guarantee the maintenance of peace.
The popular, and one may say naive, idea is that peace can be secured by disarmament and that disarmament must therefore precede the attainment of absolute security and lasting peace.
For development, peace is essential.
Peace can be contributed to by respect for our ability in defense.
Peace has to be created, in order to be maintained. It will never be achieved by passivity and quietism.
The true and solid peace of nations consists not in equality of arms, but in mutual trust alone.
What we want is a lasting peace. We will oppose soft measures which invite the breaking of the peace.
