They will tell you this because
there is a growing and. insistent de-
mand from the peoples of the world
that some start be made on the road
to disarmament. The people are
convinced that an uncurbed arma-
ment race will lead to war and they
feel that they have had enough of
war. Millions of men and women,
scattered over two-score of nations,
told the league this recently, either
through memorials presented by
various committees or through visits
of delegations to the president OF
