280. Conceptions differ profoundly between those of the Western world, which, imbued as it is with the spirit of world solidarity, has traditionally kept its doors open, and those of the hermetically sealed camp of Communism.

It is illusory to speak sincerely of disarmament as long as we are confronted with an imperialism which aspires to world domination and must rely on a vast array of force to attain its ends. 281.
