“I believe America’s role in the world is not one of force, but is of that same peaceful intent and act that has characterized the history of the country from its birth till the last third of a century.
“I believe that moral force is far more potent than physical force in international relations.
“I believe that America should again turn to the promotion of the peaceful adjustment of international disputes, which will help us regain the measureless moral force we once possessed, to the regeneration and salvation of the world. We now speak with the strong arm of physical force only; we have no moral force left.”
(J. Reuben Clark, Let Us Have Peace, Church News, November 22, 1947.)
