are ; THE AMERICAN FRIENDS SERVICE COMMITTEE, since tts found- ing in 1917, has tried to promote the economic, social, moral, and spiritual unity of all man- kind. In international relations it has attempted ¥ to bring about understanding where there has been hostility and contact where there has been separation. In civil rights it has tried to show that nonviolence can be effectively transformed into a@ power which can win out in the face of dis- crimination and repression. . This pamphlet recognizes the growing aware- ness that war can no longer be an instrument of . foreign policy. What does this imply? Are there not other forms of power aside from weapons ' which can be the basis of settling disputes? Can we not move towards a more human society at home and abroad by seeking nonviolent paths to the settlement of conflict? What is the rela- tionship between disarmament, civil rights, and full employment? The author believes that these questions should logically grow out of any dis- cussion of the economics of arms and disarma- ment. AFSC works for a society that is nonvio- lentiy ordered and in which men are neither de- based nor exploited for any reason or for any purpose. This pamphlet, by raising important issues which face our country today, helps in that work.
