Since no future peace can be main- tained if land, sea or air armaments continue to be employed by nations which threaten, or may. threaten, aggression outside their frontiers, they believe, pending the establishment of a wider and permanent system of general security, that the disarmament of such nations is essential. They will likewise aid and encourage all cther practicable measures which lighten for peace-loving peo- ples the crushing burden of armament. The statement was signed by President Roosevelt and Winston Churchill.
