“no-peace until the Hitlerite govern
ment of Germany has been finally
and utterly destroyed,” Sumner
Welles, acting secretary of state,
plainly addressed his words on the
post-war world to the people of
Nazi-controlled countries.
Welles said that “some instrumen
tality must unquestionably be found
to achieve such adjustments when
foe nations of the earth again un-
dertako the task of restoring law and
order to a disastrously shaken
world.”'
Whatever the mechanism, Welles
said he was “unalterably omvinced”
of two things:
“First, that the abolition of offen
sive armaments and the limitation
of defensive armaments and of the
tools which make the construction of
such armaments possible, can only
be undertaken through some rigid
form of international supervision and
control, and that without such {me
tical and emential controL no real
disarmament can ever be achieved.
''Second, that no peace which may
be made in the future would be valid
or lasting unless it' established fully
and adequately the natural rights of
all peoples to equal economic enjoy
ment. So long as any one people or
any one government possesses a mo-
no{)oly over natural resources or raw
materials which are needed by aU
{^copies, there can be no basis for a
world order based on Justice and on

He then outlined the kind of world

Dedicating a cornerstone pf a new
wing at the Norweghm** lil^fion,
Welles described “the giqat ideal”
for which he said all {>eople of good
will should now be striving.
The broad objectives hejoutiined
bore cloec rcaemblanoe^oTiome of the
famous “Fourteen Points” of Wood-

major factor in (>romoting peaet sen-

too, Welles advocated an “associ

as it finally operated, as “a meauis
