The people of every country will send to it their men of learning and high character. These shall only have moral sanction. They will not only settle disputes, but will also have advisory functions. If status quo continues, if the poor in the villages are neglected and if disparities go on aggravating, no force will be able to check internal disorder and external aggression. For peace and security within the country, we must cast off mutual differences and share our weal and woe together.
Sharing decreases misery and increases joy.
The basic problem of the world today is the establishment of peace. Perhaps in no other age has there been such a world-hunger for peace. True, they go on increasing their armaments, but nevertheless they are wondering how to get rid of them. The sheer inertia of habit makes for the stockpiling of arms. But intellectually people have come to understand that arms will achieve nothing - nothing, that is, except losses for the poor and the blocking of all progress in real welfare, consequent on the immense expenditure of resources on the army.
