Limitation of Armaments
|
|
By a general agreement all the governments of the
world must disarm simultaneously. It will not do if one
lays down its arms and the others refuse to do so. The nations
of the world must concur with each other concerning
this supremely important subject, so that they may
abandon together the deadly weapons of human slaughter.
As long as one nation increases her military and naval
budget other nations will be forced into this crazed
competition through their natural and supposed interests.—Diary of Mírzá Aḥmad Sohrab, May 11–14, 1914.
