00:00.400 --> 00:03.980
For us. War is not inevitable.

00:04.389 --> 00:06.949
We do not believe that there are blind

00:06.960 --> 00:09.810
tides of history which sweep men one

00:09.819 --> 00:12.479
way or another. In our own time

00:12.489 --> 00:14.711
we've seen brave men overcome obstacles

00:14.711 --> 00:17.250
that seem insurmountable and forces

00:17.260 --> 00:20.540
that seem overwhelming. Men with courage

00:20.549 --> 00:23.299
and vision can still determine their

00:23.309 --> 00:26.889
own destiny. They can choose slavery

00:26.899 --> 00:30.170
or freedom, war or peace.

00:31.299 --> 00:34.549
I have no doubt which they will choose.

00:35.330 --> 00:37.552
The treaty we are signing here today is

00:37.552 --> 00:40.349
evidence of the path they will follow.

00:41.200 --> 00:44.400
If there is anything certain today, if

00:44.409 --> 00:46.479
there is anything inevitable in the

00:46.490 --> 00:49.130
future, it is the will of the people

00:49.139 --> 00:52.299
of the world for freedom and for peace.

01:03.919 --> 01:06.720
Under the terms of the treaty, the

01:06.730 --> 01:09.040
signatory powers are called upon to

01:09.050 --> 01:11.519
ratify in accordance with their

01:11.529 --> 01:14.160
respective constitutional processes.

01:14.910 --> 01:16.799
The treaty shall enter into force

01:16.799 --> 01:18.966
between the states which have ratified

01:18.966 --> 01:21.410
it as soon as the ratifications of the

01:21.419 --> 01:24.330
majority of the signatories, including

01:24.339 --> 01:27.010
the ratifications of Belgium, Canada,

01:27.019 --> 01:29.599
France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands,

01:29.610 --> 01:31.499
the United Kingdom and the United

01:31.499 --> 01:33.050
States have been deposited.
