AVe arc fighting so that never again any nation, great or small,'shall have to fear the selfish aggression of another.

Let us have a common guarantee- that all of us will sign a declaration of political independence and territorial integrity. Let us agree that if any Power violates this doctrino we. will 'jump on her.' The whole family of nations must guarantee that no nation will violate this doctrino.yfhat is tho onjy conceivable basis of the future peace of the world, If onco we have mutual trust we will have the key to a permanent peace."—Aus.-N.Z.
