Joint Declaration by President Roosevelt of the United States and Prime Minister Winston Churchill of the United Kingdom on 12th August 1941: ". . . they believe that all the nations of the world, for realistic as well as spiritual reasons, must come to the abandonment of the use of force. Since no future peace can be maintained if land, sea, or air armaments continue to be employed by nations which threaten, or may threaten, aggression outside their frontiers . . . "
