Arthur Henderson quotes
" Another essential to a universal and durable peace is social justice. "

Arthur Henderson
" As a first step there must be an offer to achieve equality of rights in disarmament by abolishing the weapons forbidden to the Central Powers by the Peace Treaties. "

Arthur Henderson
" But the standards of statecraft insisted upon the untrammeled claim of each nation to uphold its own view of its rights by force and to build whatever armaments it considered necessary for this purpose. "

Arthur Henderson
" But to cut off relations with an aggressor may often invite retaliation by armed action, and this would, in its turn, make necessary some form of collective self-defence by the loyal members of the League. "

Arthur Henderson
" Four years of world war, at a cost in human suffering which our minds are mercifully too limited to imagine, led to the very clear realization that international anarchy must be abandoned if civilization was to survive. "

Arthur Henderson
" He would see civilization in danger of perishing under the oppression of a gigantic paradox: he would see multitudes of people starving in the midst of plenty, and nations preparing for war although pledged to peace. "

Arthur Henderson
" I do not believe that the values which the Western democracies consider essential to civilization can survive in a world rent by the international anarchy of nationalism and the economic anarchy of competitive enterprise. "

Arthur Henderson
" In almost every country there are elements of opinion which would welcome such a conclusion because they wish to return to the politics of the balance of power, unrestricted and unregulated armaments, international anarchy, and preparation for war. "

Arthur Henderson
" In our modern world of interdependent nations, hardly any state can wage war successfully without raising loans and buying war materials of every kind in the markets of other nations. "

Arthur Henderson
" In short, it may be said that on paper the obligations to settle international disputes peacefully are now so comprehensive and far-reaching that it is almost impossible for a state to resort to war without violating one or more solemn treaty obligations. "

Arthur Henderson
" In some states militant nationalism has gone to the lengths of dictatorship, the cult of the absolute or totalitarian state and the glorification of war. "

Arthur Henderson
" It has become impossible to give up the enterprise of disarmament without abandoning the whole great adventure of building up a collective peace system. "

Arthur Henderson
" It has been said that since September, 1931, the world has been divided into wholehearted violators and halfhearted supporters of the Covenant. "

Arthur Henderson
" It is because I believe that it is in the power of such nations to lead the world back into the paths of peace that I propose to devote myself to explaining what, in my opinion, can and should be done to banish the fear of war that hangs so heavily over the world. "

Arthur Henderson
" Men and women everywhere are once more asking the old question - is it peace? "
