I propose that the arms of the world should be reduced by nearly one-third.
The Kellogg-Briand Pact, to which we are all signatories, can only mean that the nations of the world have agreed that they will use their arms solely for defense.
We must make headway against the mutual fear and friction arising out of war armament which kill human confidence throughout the world.
This reduction should be carried out not only by broad general cuts in armaments but by increasing the comparative power of defense through decreases in the power of the attack.
