Now the question of disarmament must be put into practice by all the
nations and not only by one or two. Consequently the advocates of Peace
must strive day and night, so that the individuals of every country may
become peace-loving, public opinion may gain a strong and permanent
footing, and day by day the army of International Peace be increased,
complete disarmament be realized and the Flag of Universal Conciliation be

The ideals of Peace must be nurtured and spread among the inhabitants of
the world; they must be instructed in the school of Peace and the evils of

your presence!"

In short, every means that produces war must be checked and the causes
that prevent the occurrence of war be advanced;--so that physical conflict
may become an impossibility. On the other hand, every country must be
properly delimited, its exact frontiers marked, its national integrity
secured, its permanent independence protected, and its vital interests
honoured by the family of nations. These services ought to be rendered by
an impartial, international Commission. In this manner all causes of
friction and differences will be removed. And in case there should arise
some disputes between them, they could arbitrate before t
