As a civilian during the Second War, I was exposed to danger in circumstances which removed any distinction between the man in and the man out of uniform.

As to the first, I do not know that I have done very much myself to promote fraternity between nations but I do know that there can be no more important purpose for any man's activity or interests.

It has too often been too easy for rulers and governments to incite man to war.

A great gulf, however, has been opened between man's material advance and his social and moral progress, a gulf in which he may one day be lost if it is not closed or narrowed.

The grim fact is that we prepare for war like precocious giants, and for peace like retarded pygmies.

As a soldier, I survived World War I when most of my comrades did not.
