World peace is the dream of many people and should be pursued in many directions. The first is education; the younger generation must be educated under the beneficial influence of public sources of information that will promote anti-war ideas and concepts. Human life must become the main value of society. The second is politics. All governments must begin to work to maintain a high level of development and population. All war sentiments must cease, and diplomacy should be used as the main tool of all discord.

We sincerely believe that peace is possible. Do not support the ideas of war and violence, which is what you try to bring up in your children. Perhaps in a few generations, the world will be completely free of this problem, and all peoples of the earth will live in peace and understanding.
