WILL TO PEACE
FREE DEMOCRATIC COUNTRIES “ The will to peace of, free democratic countries has been proved during the last? three years beyond doubt or question. “ A free people will not readily engage in a modern war. This much seems certain. Hence, if freedom is to be protected once the Axis Powers are beaten, potential aggressors must be too weak to strike. An armed alliance of free societies must stand ready once this war is over to serve together if need be, not to impose their form of government on other people, but to prevent the growth of new challenges to their freedom. If this is done without malice on the one hand, and without sentimentality on the other, we may hope that international order will be restored. “ We may hope that in the distant days to come our instruments of war will grow less obtrusive, and that our children’s children may walk boldly and with confidence along the enduring paths of liberty and peace.”—Professor J. B. Conant, President of Harvard,.
