There can be no stability or peace either within nations or between nations except under laws and moral standards adhered to by all.

The peace-loving nations must make a concerted effort in opposition to those violations of treaties and those ignorings of humane instincts which today are creating a state of international anarchy and instability from which there is no escape through mere isolation or neutrality.

Shattered trust between nations must be revived. Most important of all, the will for peace on the part of peace-loving nations must express itself to the end that nations that may be tempted to violate their agreements and the rights of others will desist from such a cause.

If they want peace, nations should avoid the pin-pricks that precede cannon-shots.

It is up to us, today's humanity, especially believers, to turn instruments of hatred into instruments of peace.

This peace we seek cannot be born of fear alone: it must be rooted in the lives of nations. There must be justice, sensed and shared by all peoples, for, without justice the world can know only a tense and unstable truce.
