PEACE—ON PAPER
“We must now show the world that our work is not on paper only, that we have renounced war and have renounced also the spirit that engenders war, and are prepared presently to renounce the armaments by which war is carried on. We are answerable to mankind and, if we fail in this enterprise of disarmament, we betray the confidence of the peoples of the world. The peoples of the world detest and abominate wars and when we speak against the anarchic militarism of the past, we speak not for ourselves only, not for our Government only, but for those voiceless millions who have fixed their hearts on the work we are now to begin.”— The Rt. Hon. Arthur Henderson, M.P., Foreign Secretary.
