...think it is a mistake to try to base these relations mainly upon sentiment. We may not always like each other very much. I think it is a mistake to try to base them on common origins, common parentage, even common language, because these will be occasions when we differ from one another, and I think it is desirable to base them on their true foundation, which is a common interest in the maintenance of world peace and in preventing a repetition of these catastrophic world conflicts every 20 years.

Let the People Know attempts to convince "the average busy citizen" that wars are not caused by capitalists, vested interests, empires, divisions into Haves and Havenots. Wars come, he believes, because ordinary men are mis-educated, prejudiced. They come, especially, because man is nationalistically minded...
