The fact that the nations have not yet succeeded in finding a way to control and limit the use of atomic energy for military purposes does not mean that it is impossible to find such a way. On the contrary, it is imperative that the nations of the world agree to establish an International Authority to control the use of atomic energy.

"We are compelled to face the fact that the continued development of the military technique, which is bound to lead to an intensification of the horrors of war, may some day put our whole civilization in jeopardy. The time has come for the nations to realize that the use of atomic energy for military purposes must be stopped, and that an International Authority should be established to control the use of this energy."
