A World In Which Every Human Being Can Live a Good Life…

“There has been a great change in the world during the last several years. No longer does the threat of an all-destroying nuclear war between the United states and the soviet Union determine our policies and action. 

Our goal now should be a world such that every person born into it has the possibility of leading a good life, free of the fear of mutilation or death in war, free of the fear of poverty and starvation, free of the fear of incapacitation and early death caused by a miserable disease, and with every person having a good education, opportunity to work, good food, clothing, and leisure and income to enjoy the wonders of the world. 

Decisions can be made now that will determine the quality of life for human beings for hundreds of years. Now is the time for all nations and all people to cooperate in building a world free of war and militarism, a world based on rationality and ethics.”
