This hope fc **? be assured through piecikfl meaauree of diaarmonaaiii *?4 thai all of ue nrny carry to victory our common ttovggie agemst economic chuoa To these ends the nations haw* called two great world conferences. The happiness, the prosperity, and the very live? of tb? m??, women and children who inhabit the whole world aa*, bound up in the decisions which their governments will make in the near future. The (improvement of social comfcti<*d?; the preservation of individual humart1 lights, and the. furtherance of social justice are dependent upon theeo decisions. The world economic conference will meet ?oon and must come to its conclusions quickly.- The world can not await deliberations long- dirpym cut. The conference must establish ofrder in place of the present chaos hy a stabilization of cunrsncies, by freeing the flow of world triyde, and *>y international action to raise price levels. It must, in short, supplement individual domestic programs for economic recovery, by wise and considered international action. The disarmament conference 1ms labored for more than a year and, as yet, has been unable to reach satisfactory conclusions. Confused purposes still clash dangerously. Our duty lies m the direction of bringing 1 practical result# through concerted action based upon the greatest good to the greatest number. Before the imperative call of <th*e great druty*? petty obstacles must be swept away i and petty aims fWp?t?h A selfish [ victory Is ultimate defeat. The fwfhttnnee of durable peace fear our generation in ? every prvrt of the WOP Id is the oBly-goal worthy of- our best effort?. . - I If we ask whet the the reasons fori armaments,. which, in spite of ftf-, lessons and tragedies of the World, War, are today a gieatar burden on| the peoples of the -earth than over before, it become*, tcftipr that they are two-fold: .' f First, the desire, disclosed CflP, hidden, on the psapt.<of govettflnwds to enlarge their territories at the expense of a sister netiott. I believe that only a-small" minority of governments or of people? harbor such a purpose. ^ . , Second, the fear of nations thai they will b? invaded. I believe thai the overwhelming tflkioiriiy of peoples feel obliged to retain excessive armaments because they fear some act of aggression against them snd not because they ihsmsdves seek to be aggressors. There is justification for this. fear. Modern weapons -of offense are vastly Wronger thari modem weapons of defense. Frontier (forte, trehcbS?, wtri wtarrglements; coast defense??in * Word, fixed fortification#?aire ,do longer impregnable to the attack of vxr plane.?, heavy nfshils artillery,: land bctttaitip# ' called taidrta, and poison gas.** . ^"9*5$ ' If ait fiebton# ?vHAi wholly te eliminate from possession and use the weapons which make possible a successful attack, defense? Automatically will bfecome impregnable, and the f romtieaW and independence of every metro* will become secure. The ultimate objective of the disarmament conference must be the complete elimination of all offensive weapons. The immediate objective is, R substantial reduction of some of these weapons and the elimination of maif;- others, ... , This government believes that, the program for immediate reduction of aftgr?-ssive weapons, now under discussion at Geneva, is but a first step toward our ultimate goal. . We do not beneve that the proposed immediate go far enough. Nevertheless, > thr?s government welcomes the measures now proposed and wiU exert its "^uence toward the attainment of further successive steps of disarmament. - - ?. -? , '-** - . 1 three step* to be sgisid upon ? ^he present discussion*: First, to Asks, * am*, ths .first A to sgtes *p*? tiaee and f Jt procedure tor takm# the following steps. > ^ Third, to agree that while theftrst and the following - steps ere .being /taken, no nation shall increase its existing- armament? over and above the hirrkatione of treaty obligations. Dot the peace of the work) must be assured during the whole period of disarmament and I, therefore, propose a fourth step concurrent with and wholly dependent on the faithful fulfillment of these three proposals and subject to existing treaty rights; Thai all the nations of the world should enter into a solemn and deftqA ite past of non agression; That they should solemnly reaffirm the obligations they have assumed to hmat -and reduce1 their armaments, and, provided theas obligations are faithfully executed by all signatory powers, individually agree that thftf will send ri6 armed force of ndiahgp ever nature acroti tbeflr frontiers. Common sense points out that if any 1 strong * nation refuses. to join 1. ?fj , . i- -LI ? wKn genuine sincerity n man <cencttibed 'tffaats foe pulHk'al and economic pages,- tiw one at Geneva add the other at London^ progress can be obstructed and ultimately blocked, i In such event ^he civilised world,) seeking bothn forms of peace, will know .where 'the responsibility fori failure Heel'-**: . I urge thefc*K> nation assume such a responsAhhty, and that all the nations joined^ in /these great oopferences translate their professed policies into notion. This is the way to political and economic peace. I trust that your government will join in the fulfillment of these hopes. FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT.
